Chauncey Conference Center, Princeton, New Jersey: Review and Videos

…have to stress!! I was involved in running 2 training events and both were booked in at this hotel/ conference center. And I have to say I was DREADING going back there. Why? 1) The food is really, really bad. There are 2 places to eat (and of course the room service where you can have a burger… or a burger or a burger. The main restaurant has the most strange combinations of food that is all in buffet style and so dried out. 2) The staff are not…

Korean Air Club Business Class Seats (Photos, Review and Video)

I took these photos on a flight from Tokyo Narita to Seoul Incheon airports of the Korean Air Club/ Business Class Cabin and Seats. Overall I thought the seats were pretty good. Although they are not the “lie flat” horizontal type they do go flat but are at an angle, but the seats are wide as as they sore of slide underneath the seat in front you do not have that annoying and “closed in feeling” you get when the seat in front of you goes back and…

Ritz Carlton Millenia Singapore: Review, Video & Photos

I stayed in this hotel as part of a 2 week business trip. The week before I had been in Seoul. The contrast with the efficient but not particularly service orientated hotel in Seoul to the Ritz Carlton was, therefore, probably accentuated even more than normal. Saying that, while I quite liked the hotel, I have probably stayed at better hotels in Singapore. But there is no doubting that this hotel is a good hotel and is a good place to stay. It i…

Grecotel Cape Sounio Athens (Hotel Review, Photos & Video)

Grecotel Cape Sounio Athens (24), originally uploaded by garybembridge. Click here to see the full gallery of my pictures of the hotel It is about 65 Kms for the centre of Athens and about 35 Kms from the airport and on the Aegean coast. The hotel is on a small natural bay and looks directly across to the ruins of the still impressive Temple to Poseiden (Greek God of the Sea) on the top of a hill. The hotel itself is very stylish in design with e…

Hotel Cascais Miragem Lisbon (Review, Video & Photos)

Hotel Cascais Miragem Lisbon 2007 (1), originally uploaded by garybembridge. What a beautiful hotel this is! I only wished as soon as I got there that I was both staying longer and that I was there for a vacation rather than the work conference that I as attending. It seemed almost criminal not to be on holiday here. The hotel is big with a large open and dramatic lobby area that soars up high, with large glass staircase and glass sided lifts. It…

Hotel Review, Photos & Video: Suites at One King West Toronto Room 2910(14)

Suites at One King West Toronto Room 2910 (14), originally uploaded by garybembridge. I have really mixed feelings about this hotel. I had a really great room on the 29th floor (2910) which seems to be larger than many of the other rooms and had a very comfortable large bed, sofa and the desk area and a small kitchen area. In the kitchen area is a washing machine, tumble dryer, microwave and fridge. the decor was stylish, the pictures on the wall…

Hotel Room Review: Sofitel Los Angeles

I really liked this hotel. Having seen the pictures of the outside online, I had expected the hotel to be somewhat ordinary, functional and fairly sterile. It turned out to be none of these. The hotel recently went through an 😯 million dollar renovation which has turned it into a trendy, funky but stylish place – although the outside (other than the grand glass entrance) still looks plain and uninspiring. When you walk into the lobby you are warm…

Hotel Review: Sheraton Belgravia, London UK

Due to the location of this hotel, in one of London’s premium areas, it is a very expensive hotel to stay in usually. I am not sure that it is good value for money, even if cost is not a big issue for you as it is not particularly attractive and lacks many features (such as a health club, variety of bars and restaurants etc). It is, though, in a fabulous location close to Sloane Street, Knightsbridge and the Kings Road. So fabulous if you like sh…

Cathay Pacific Review: 1st Class London – Hong Kong

…d me on the same route and day! Cathy Pacific 747 First Class Last year, I travelled on Cathay Pacific from London via Hong Kong to Sydney (Australia). This year I flew with them again from London Heathrow via Hong Kong but this time on to Taipei in Taiwan. On both these trips I was lucky enough to be flying in their First Class cabin. However, this year I was much more impressed – not that I was not last year! I think one of the reasons that I wa…

Hotel Berlin, Berlin Review. Old Creaking Body Dressed Up To Look New

An old tart with lipstick is still an old tart. This pretty much summarizes my view of the Hotel Berlin in Berlin. It is an old and dated building that they have tried to tart up and make look trendy, funky and modern. But the problem is that the body beneath the new clothes and lipstick is not up to scratch. It is failing. On a superficial level, they have done a decent job of this tried and uninspiring block of concrete. The lobby is bright, wh…
