Four Seasons Hotel Is One Of The Best Las Vegas Hotels

…but had not been fed into reception system. Wi-fi costs $14.99 per device, and this seems an out-dated approach! They also leave some treats like strawberries and chocolate/ small cupcakes/ brownies day after you arrive and the day before you leave. This is a nice touch. The only real negative was we made the mistake of arriving on a Saturday night fairly late on this trip, and got a not great room as they were full. Avoid that! A great hotel, hig…

United Airlines Business First Class. Cabin, Seats and Service Review

…ky Team Lounge which is vast and uses the old BA lounges. They have done a nice job at making it look bright and good selection of food and so on. Photos at the end of the posting. I am a huge fan of BA and then Virgin, so was keen to Continental/ United out as my experience from years ago was not very positive.. So what did I like about them? The Flat Bed Seat: This was a great seat. Large, very comfortable and even for me at 6’2″ was able to lay…

…e in this massive and busy hotel where one could easily feel anonymous. So nice touch, though she did not upgrade me to a club room which would have been even nicer. But as above, I liked the room a lot.

Gran Melia Fenix Hotel Madrid Spain: Stunning, plush and great service

…he business lounge, which was great. This has a dining area, sofa area and nice outside roof terrace. We had breakfast in there, which had a good spread – and also they had drinks and nibbles in the evening. The package we had also included wireless access, which is just as well as seemed to be very expensive to buy access. This hotel was a real treat and the service and attention to detail was outstanding. Highly recommended! WATCH THE VIDEO OF R…

Hotel du Louvre Paris France. A Luxury Paris Hotel With Style.

…nd masses of cupboard space, big bright bathroom and separate toilet. Very nice indeed. The breakfast buffet is impressive, and the brasserie serves very typical French food and fits the hotel, location and tourist clients well. The bar is never over full but welcoming and also serves food. The fitness room is okay, with a fairly good range but no cross trainer (but bikes and running machine) and some weights/ weight machines. There is free wirele…

Cape Town: Derwent House Boutique Hotel review

…e for money. The rates are very fair and reasonable for the offer. – Added Nice touches and features: – free passes for the huge and very modern Virgin Active Gym at Wembley Square. This is a lovely gym and has lots of fit and good-looking inspirational eye candy to admire while working out! – free wireless internet access throughout the hotel. As a regular hotel stayer for work, I wish more hotels would do this! There is also a laptop in the loun…

Advice and Tips For First-Time Visitors to Cape Town

…sited Cape Town in both March and December, and both times have been great nice weather there. It’s also not the peak season. The peak season in Cape Town is Christmas time which is the middle of summer. It’s a very, very popular time for both international and local South Africans to vacation in and so tends to be more expensive or accommodation, and is harder to get into restaurants – but on the plus side it is beautiful weather and very buzzing…

SHERATON BARRA HOTEL RIO DE JANEIRO: Poor overall with a fab beach opposite

SHERATON BARRA HOTEL RIO DE JANEIRO: Poor overall with a fab beach opposite

…s it worse! The hotel clearly is very busy due to its location near a very nice and popular beach, and so is busy with holiday makers, wedding parties (zillions of them) and conference visitors. The hotel decor is dated and shabby, stuck in the 1980s with little of the flair and passion one expects (and gets) usually in Brazil. The staff are also disinterested, off hand and lack the usual Brazilian warmth. This is true across all departments, incl…

Hotel De Paris Monte Carlo Monaco: What is is like staying at one of the iconic hotels of the world?

…Monaco was when I was 20. I was on a camping holiday and we had stopped in Nice at a site there, and the bus had taken us to Monaco for the evening. I know I was 20 as we could not get into the casino as you had to be 21, and I was near to my birthday. I remember us taking photos on the steps and looking at the grand and expensive Hotel De Paris opposite saying one day I would be back, and well off enough to stay there. It took 30 years, but final…

Rocco Forte Augustine Hotel. One of The Very Best Prague Hotels

…eat service and amazing food. Highly recommended. The bar (Tom’s Bar) is a nice room with murals on the ceiling and used to be the Monastery dining room. It always seems very quiet though, and while there is a good choice of cocktails they were not great (failing in my view to make a good mojito…) I was surprised the hotel did not acknowledge I had stayed there before, as on the last trip they had made a big deal after the stay sending a survey an…
