I needed to be in Boston on business through Memorial Day weekend. Rather than stay at a conventional hotel in a typical part of town (Financial District, Seaport District, Back Bay, South End), I wanted to do something a bit more creative, inventive, and fun.
I checked out a bunch of bed and breakfasts, but they were too quaint. “Hip” hostels were an option, but the reviews were all horrific. A furnished corporate apartment seemed like a cool move, so I researched the available options.

If you've never visited the Greek island of Crete, you’re in for a lot of surprises. Travelers are so often astounded by the scenery, the diversity, and utter uniqueness of this Island. However surprising the geography may be however, the simplicity of village life has to be the more pleasurable discovery. Why there's even a term that best describes the people you'll experience here. So well noted for stellar seascapes, the term Filoxenia (the love of visitors) outshines any Cretan photo op. For
Hotel Elan, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
By Roy Heale
In the heart of downtown Calgary the trendy, residential community known as the Beltline is close to the business center of the city plus the hip restaurants, clubs, and boutiques of the 17th Avenue Entertainment District. For this reason a number of boutique hotels have recently located themselves in this area providing accommodation options for business and leisure visitors to Calgary. Perhaps the newest addition is the Hotel E
Mountain biking is a sport which, as the name suggest, can only be enjoyed on specific terrains. As such, when you ride your bike on level ground, you are not mountain biking. Most mountain biking enthusiast know that in order for them to get the best out this sport, they require rough terrains, and what better place to enjoy this wonderful sport than in the Alps.
There is an area in the Alps known as the Les Gets which is characterized by rough terrains that are suitable for mountain biking. Mou
It’s not uncommon to visit a hotel that wasn’t here last year. It’s less common, though, to visit a hotel that wasn’t here last year … and won’t be here next year. That’s how it is with Scandinavia’s ‘ice hotels’; they’re actually dug out of a snow bank at the beginning of winter, and are gone with the first thaws of spring. And, usually, they’re completely rebuilt the following winter.
The concept isn’t new, of course. For generations, the Inuit of North America have been building their igloos f
It wasn’t so long ago that all hotels pretty much looked alike.
Just another pretty face, or not so pretty.
There were some differences in the design of a luxury lobby and bar, versus, say the lobby and bar of a moderate-priced hotel chain. No one would confuse a Four Seasons with a Best Western.
But basically, the design standard and principles of hotel brands were fixed by Corporate with little flexibility and certainly no impulse to take many design chances.
Apparently the powerful prese
In 2013 it's hardly news that that dining options in big luxury hotels have for the most part evolved way beyond the good-quality-but-bland fare of yore, with high-profile marquis restaurants showcasing some of the world’s top chefs. But in my experience, few offer a culinary experience so cozy, intimate, and downright romantic as downtown Miami’s Trapiche Room. The fine-dining star of the four eating/drinking venues at the 274-unit, Four-Diamond JW Marriott Hotel on downtown’s premier business
Is Google’s New Hotel Finder a Game Changer?
I don’t know if Google’s recently-launched Hotel Finder is actually a game changer, or, as Google itself said, “an experiment in finding the perfect hotel.”
But it’s fun to play with.
Eric Leist, an emerging technologies specialist says that it’s always interesting to see information we scroll through linearly, suddenly presented in a new, visually interesting and user-friendly layout.”
Google's Hotel Finder does just that: Takes hotel search re
Miami’s South Beach is the quintessential “party capital of America.” But what if your goals run more toward sun-drenched beaches and culture? On a recent sojourn to SoBe, I had the opportunity to stay in the elegant and refined “colonial grand dame” of Ocean Drive, the Betsy Hotel. In the crowded South Beach hotel space, the Betsy stands out like no other. Sure the Delano, National, Shore Club and more attract a vast amount of attention, but it is the boutique Betsy, that is my rationale for a
