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).

  • Searching for a hotel on the mountains? Try www.albergoalpenrose.it!
    Albergo Alpenrose** is in Gressoney Saint Jean and 'is characterised by a cosy atmosphere and a typical alpine style. It's the ideal point in order to explore the magnificent mountain tops of the Monte Rosa massif both on foot and on skis.
    Our hotel in fact is in a strategic position. It’s actually situated 50 m from the Weissmatten slopes (where the Women's European Ski Cup takes place in December) and its snowpark and skischool, from the cross-country trail and 10 minutes far from the rest of the Monterosa ski domain
  • Now in the Tripatini blog: really helpful tips on avoiding bringing home bedbugs from your hotel.
  • Talk about cranky guests, Ed, the New York Times reports that a reputation management company may sue TripAdvisor on behalf of several dozen clients. Reviews that accuse hotel staff of theft, assault or discrimination, the company says, don't belong on the site because they are "allegations of criminality.”

    "Some hoteliers believe that TripAdvisor has gone beyond the neutral role of host through actions like sending e-mails highlighting “hotel horror stories” — in effect, endorsing those opinions.

    "Other complaints are that TripAdvisor is unwilling to remove questionable reviews from the site, declines to retire older reviews (even when a property is under new management) and screens owners’ responses more vigorously than members’ comments."

    Reputation management is what I used to do for a living, so I'd like to know: What do you think of all this?
  • Are people just getting crankier, or is there a real problem here?

Power and Associates."
  • A crisis: The Chelsea Hotel, where every painter and poet and rock star you can think of has stayed and, y'know, played. But now it's up for sale. Please don't change it: http://www.tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/chelsea-hotel-new-yorks?xg_...
  • Hotel Mocking Bird Hill has an on site art gallery featuring work by co-owner Barbara Walker as well as local artists. The hotel itself is almost a gallery with original works by Walker in all the rooms and public areas. http://bit.ly/aJVhY9
