5 of the best inexpensive hotels in Dubai

Chelsea Plaza Hotel The “City of Sheikhs” is of course famed worldwide for its glitz, glamour, and (often over-the-top) luxury, and this goes as much for its lodgings as anywhere else - with exhibit A being the "seven-star" Burj Al Arab Jumeirah (where room rates start north of US$1,000 a night). But bargain seekers do have a suprising menu of options, and without having to resorts to fleabags or hostels. Here are five three-star properties which provide a modicum of luxury at very accessible…

8 of the best hotels in and around Thimphu, Bhutan

Hotel Druk In the half century since "the Land of the Thunder Dragon" opened its doors to tourism, the country has accrued nearly 400 hotels - around 225 of which are in the district that´s home to capital Thimphu (pop. 149,000).

3 of the Caribbean´s best Sandals resorts for honeymoons

Sandals Grande St. Lucian Based in Montego Bay, Jamaica, the famous Caribbean resort chain founded in 1981 by legendary Jamaican entrepreneur Gordon "Butch" Stewart was instrumental in pioneering the "all-inclusive" concept - paying one (usually very attractive) rate to cover all food and drink as well as many activities and amenities, in addition to just a room. Sandals properties now number 18 on eight islands, and they´re especially popular with (and indeed, marketed to) couples and…

If you can't find a room in town, you can usually find something by the airport so it makes a good fail-safe option. It wouldn't be my first choice but, yeah, I've had some good experience at airport hotels.

Hotels.com reports that user reviews of airport hotels have changed dramatically in recent years from pans to raves. In fact, people are now choosing to stay at airport hotels. I would never have predicted this five years ago. Hotels.com also says that these airport hotels, on average, cost 42% less than downtown hotels. I didn't know that, either. Would you choose to stay at an airport hotel?

Northeast, follow the news more closely, and you'll see that the bedbug panic is not just in your region of the country.

I think travelers will travel, but the sales of those covers that protect you from hotel sheets should increase-an infomercial would clean up

Here in the Northeast U.S. we're experiencing a minor panic over a bedbug epidemic. To what extent will this prevent people from traveling and sleeping in hotels?

Dear Fellow Members

I am creating a report that will be sent to travel experts, architects, designers and hotels and more about boomer requirements for travel. See www.AgelessTraveler.com. I will cover everything from being able to see the menu, to traveling with an older parent, to politeness and anti-ageism of staff. I would welcome any pet peeves, any solutions, any good or poor experiences you can contribute. I am a New York Timeds Age Boom Fellow and also a consultant to hotels,CVBs etc. I think it is time that the industry prepared for boomer travelers. This report is as a result of an artilce BOOMER ROOMER I wrote for Hotel Design Magazine and a speaking presentation at Transform, this summer, a conference on universal design. I learned through my work that the industry is still not up to speed.

Please share your thoughts.

MasterCard reports that U.S. consumers are spending more on "travel categories like hotels and airlines" (NY Times). Are you as surprised as I am?

We are always looking for traveler nominations of their favorite independently owned hotels, b&b's, and hostels with rooms under US$150 (and often way under). We currently have reviews for accommodations in over 50 countries - and recently got a big thumbs up from Arthur Frommer. Check us out at Darn Good Digs.
