Hilton Arc De Triomphe Hotel Paris France: Video, reviews and more
I have stayed at the Hilton Arc De Triomphe twice in the last few year, and really like the hotel. It is an art deco style and inspired building with some nice touches and overall good decor. The lobby is quite impressive and striking, and the doormen and reception are friendly and helpful so from arrival you feel welcome. The location of the hotel is fairly good as walking distance to the Champs Elysee, but not slap bang in the busy area so I th…
Flying, the train and Terminal 5
…ic before, but as I sat on a series of flights (BA from Heathrow to Paris, Paris to Malaga on Air Europe, BA from Malaga to London Gatwick) the whole process and ordeal reminded me again of why it is so much better to go by Eurostar if you can. And in fact increasingly around Europe by train, than put oneself through the airport and pack-them-in short haul flights. I have been to and from Paris at least twice a month now for the last 6 months. All…

HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building
…it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…

On the plus side, many of the souvenir shops will take Euros and some will take dollars or UK Sterling. I…
