When I first traveled to Japan, I was ready. I knew all about the astronomical prices (yet still experienced mild sticker shock when I actually saw them with my own eyes on everything from menus to taxi meters to lipstick). I learned the right way to get onto a subway. I practiced my business etiquette. [...]
When I had heard that there were plans to open a new hotel in the shadows of Ground Zero I was intrigued. I mean it has been nearly nine years since the tragic events of 9/11 and barely anything has been built where the World Trade Center once stood. I was given a complimentary stay [...]
I recently was offered a complimentary night at the Affinia Dumont Hotel located in the Murray Hill/Midtown East section of Manhattan. I have to admit that as a hotel nerd I was looking forward to finally checking out an Affinia Hotel. With locations throughout New York City, Chicago and Washington DC, this collection of boutique [...]
On my most recent visit to England’s capital city, I was fortunate enough to spend a few nights at a new hotel that just opened its doors a few weeks ago called The Arch London. As part of a press trip with VisitBritain, I was privy to check into this quaint 82 room collection of [...]
I am an avid traveler that also happens to live in the city that never sleeps. Sounds like the best of both worlds right? Well it is. But there are times when I can not take a trip too far from home base and need to get out of the craziness that is the Big [...]
Located in the trendy Meatpacking District, the Hotel Gansevoort is definitely a great choice for travelers looking to stay at a chic, sexy, and centrally located property. The 187 rooms range from 250 square foot superior rooms to a regal 1,400 square foot duplex penthouse! Upon entering the Gansevoort, you can not help but feel [...]
Well it is about time. That was my first reaction when I visited the website Oyster Hotel Reviews (which launched earlier this year). For years now I have been telling people that hotel websites and companies like Travelocity, Priceline, and Expedia have been kind of deceitful and misleading to the basic travel customer. These sites [...]
The other day I was conversing with a friend of mine who is just about as obsessed as I am with gallivanting throughout this planet. It seems that when one of us is on the road, the other is planning the next “big” adventure and vice versa. One day over a few adult beverages at [...]
There are hotels…and then there are HOTELS. Located off the corner of East 41 street (aka Library Way) and Madison Avenue is one of the best concept hotels I have ever visited. The Library Hotel exudes a cool/intelligent/elegant vibe that is a true rarity by today’s hotel standards. The hotel is constructed of brick and [...]
I recently enjoyed a stay at the historic Roosevelt Hotel. Named after the 26th U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, this grand 4-star hotel is definitely a great place to rest your weary head after a day of checking out everything New York City has to offer. From the moment you step through the revolving doors at [...]
The Watergate Hotel, which was made famous by a scandal in the early 1970s that ultimately culminated with a U.S. President’s resignation, failed to attract any bids Tuesday when it went up for auction at the opening price of $25 million. Of the 10 registered bidders present, which included wealthy developers and owners of hotel [...]
