Palais de la Mediterranee Hotel, Nice, France (Review, Video & Photos)

…m 28 Dec to the 1 January. We booked a sea view room, but as people in the reviews I had read, the room has more of a “glance” at the sea as you can only see it from the balcony! But that was fine as the balcony is very pleasant and had a good open feeling as it looked onto the central open courtyard with the inside/ outside pool. We found the staff at reception, at breakfast and in the bar very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The recptionist sho…

Royal Plaza Hotel, Montreux, Switzerland (Review, Video and Photos)

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in mid January 2006 for a conference. This hotel is right on Lake Geneva and you get the most amazing views of the lake and the mountains. But make sure when you book and check in that you get one of the rooms facing the lake – or you may find yourself in a room overlooking the road at the back. This will be a terrible outcome as the views are just quite breath taking. I have posted photos of how lovely the lak…

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

…Quite stunning a view and worth getting if you can. There are a number of restaurants including a Chinese and Japanese. Both are costly. I went to there Japanese which was excellent. There is a buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner which is vast. But gets very monotonous of you are eating there lunch and dinner as we did for 5 days at the meeting! The swimming pool is very good and has steps on both sides that run the full length of the pool whi…

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: Sheraton Belgravia, London UK

…active 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 shopping! The Staff at the hotel is all very helpful, friendly and attentive. This perfectly fits the premium nature and rates of the hotel. I was, for example, staying at the hotel for a few days for a work meeting and even at a conferen…

Grand Canyon Helicopter Trip Review and Video Tour

Grand Canyon: Mark, Me and our Mums Watch the video tour that I made of the amazing helicopter trip we did with Maverick Helicopters from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. The tour takes half the day and we first flew to an airstrip at the top of the canyon after flying over Hoover Dam. Some of the passengers got off and we then flew right down into the basin of the Grand Canyon where we had time to take pictures and explore. We then flew back up to…

Uniworld River Cruise Pictures and Review : Melk and Durnstein

Uniworld River Beatrice docked in Melk Austria Day three of my Uniworld “Enchanting Danube” river cruise saw us visiting two charming towns along the Danube. Both were fascinating. First we visited the town of Melk. This town is best known for a large and sprawling Benedictine Monk Monastery that dates back to the 11th Century. The current buildings are more recent as most were replaced in the baroque style after the 17th Century when a fire dest…
