Staying at a "snow hotel" above Norway´s Arctic Circle

The Snowhotel Kirekenes, one of just a handful in the world (most of them, of course, in northern Europe, especially Scandinavia). The property´s centerpiece is a former barn turned complex, whose hallway is lined with an “ice bar” (above) and about a dozen rooms featuring snow sculptures depicting a range of images, from Vikings (like we had) to Arctic fauna to characters from Disney´s Frozen. That´s supplemented by the modern reception building (with some appealing Arctic art); 21 more…

A Margaritaville state of mind in the Dominican Republic

    Set along a stretch of pure white-sand beach in Cap Cana, an exclusive enclave of the DR´s most popular resort area Punta Cana - and just 15 minutes from the Punta Cana International Airport -  five-star all-inclusive property Margaritaville Island Reserve Cap Cana., which opened a little over three years ago is one of just eight Cap Cana resorts. I visited not long after it opened, and found its “no worries,” tropical vibe spoke to me the moment we pulled up to the hotel entrance adorned…

  • Did anyone catch this little bit of news, re Miami's fancy new Epic hotel? Talk about paved with good intentions -- all because they were trying to provide top-quality water. An object lesson for hotels, perhaps -- if you want to install water purifiers, best they be right on each individual tap.

    Tourist killed by hotel water
    After a hotel's powerful filter removed all the chlorine from city water, bacteria grew -- killing one and making two others ill.

    A foreign visitor has died and at least two other people have become sick after staying at a downtown Miami luxury hotel, and health officials are blaming an unusual type of pneumonia called Legionnaire's Disease.

    Guests at the Epic Hotel have been relocated to nearby hotels to prevent further contact with the water, according to the Miami-Dade County Health Department.

    Doctors say there is no cause for widespread alarm because only three cases of the bacteria have surfaced in the last two months.

    Guests at a downtown Miami luxury hotel have been relocated after health officials determined three international visitors contracted Legionnaires' disease there. One died.

    The Miami-Dade County Health Department's senior physician said Sunday that three cases of Legionnaires have been diagnosed at the Epic Hotel since October. Dr. Vincent Conte said water samples taken this week showed chlorine levels below the threshold needed to curb bacterial growth.

    Officials issued a health advisory to the hotel's guests Friday. Conte said more than 400 guests would be relocated to nearby hotels by Saturday.
