Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and Jacinto State Park: not to be missed!

…At the top of the mountain is a large and fairly sprawling complex with a restaurant that attracts a lot of events and people for dinner, a deli/ cafe type place, a small museum and State Park shop and a rather eclectic gift shop. It was glorious sitting outside looking across the valley having a cold drink. It is so peaceful and calm up there. A real must do! Watch the video I made of the ride on the Aerial Tramway, and the stunning Jacinto Stat…

60 Thompson Hotel Soho New York: is this trendy hotel worth staying at?

…more common these days. Room service was very fast and very friendly. The restaurant downstairs, which is a Thai fusion, was not that good in my view. It is very popular and although I was so-so on the food, they did amazing cocktails (especially the Classic Moijto) There is a very small fitness room in the basement that was average. But enough stuff to have a decent workout. The hotel was good at checking and watching activity on twitter @60_tho…

Mercure Madrid Santo Domingo Hotel Spain: it is just ok….

…st room with buffet that has a pretty good spread. We also ate in the same restaurant for lunch, and the food was ok but not amazing or that impressive. Overall the hotel is fine. I would not rush back but it is good value, good location and modern rooms. I did not have any problems with noise from the road and area, but some of the people I was with did comment on it. The staff is mixed in terms of service, and the reception service was a bit off…

GRAND HYATT SAO PAULO: GREAT EXPERIENCE. ONLY ONE FAULT!

…eople (like me) on business. The hotel is modern, well designed, has great restaurants (including Japanese), busy bar, good pool and good fitness facilities. The bedroom was large, with very comfortable bed, huge bathroom with large shower and separate bath (unusual these days). The work area was great, and there was a huge flat screen TV with many stations in many languages. The internet connection was fast and efficient. The buffet breakfast is…

Advice and Tips For First-Time Visitors to Cape Town

…uses over 2 levels with stunning views. Today they have become a series of restaurants and bars with great diversity. They range from take away pizza joints through Thai and Vietnamese to healthy eating to Italian. The street is very buzzing both during the day when the cafes and healthy eating places are busy with people catching up, and in the evening it is packed with young crowds. There is a real sense of community and is more dominated by loc…

Renaissance Arc De Triomphe Hotel Paris France: Modern, stylish and great location

…obby is bold and dramatic. The bar just off the lobby very trendy, and the restaurant is as well. The rooms are large for Paris, with striking floor to ceiling windows, large comfortable beds and small but perfectly suitable desk for working. There is a large flat screen TV with a lot of channels in varying languages. Overall they are bright and comfortable. The hotel is fairly expensive due to the location and the overall offering. The meeting ro…

…ions are not great as either you pay a lot and go to the 23rd floor scenic restaurant or have a small (3 pastries and coffee) in the bar. There was no middle ground which seemed a missed opportunity. There is a massive leisure centre/ water park next door but other than that there are no shops or much else around. I stayed here as the offices I was meeting at were close by, but I think I will next time probably stay in Paris more and just get the…

Hotel Mercure Rouen Val de Reuil France: MMM……

My review of the hotel Mercure at Val de Reuil can be summed up as: it is fine, as long as you are staying only one night as you pass through. I arrived there in the evening, and it is set among the large McDonalds and some sort of large chain steakhouse. It seems that they are there as stop off places from the near-by motorway. The hotel did not look too bad in the dark, but on leaving in the morning I realised it looks like a series of prefabri…

Tips for Travellers: Palm Springs – California: Strange and fabulous

…you are in the Mount San Jacinto State park and can go hiking. There is a restaurant up there with terrible food as well! The temperature at the top is usually around 30 degrees Fahrenheit lower and so even if scorching down below, most people take something warm to wear just in case. At the top it is alpine like and in winter you can even do cross country skiing!You can get more details with a video I made and photos and tips: Palm Springs Aeria…

Los Angeles Luxury Hotels – The London West Hollywood

…in it chatting while sipping various drinks. The hotel has a Gordon Ramsey restaurant which is the buffet breakfast room too. The buffet is not expansive but fine. It is not a cheap hotel to stay in Personally, I found the hotel a bit too trying to hard to be hip and I felt a bit out of place rather than welcoming. Though the staff on the door, reception and so on were all friendly. Maybe it was more the guests then! The decor and styling of the r…
