Check out the Boston Seaport district
If you are going to stay at the Omni Hotel Boston at the Seaport, chances are that you will want to visit the Seaport. If that wasn’t your plan before, you should make it so. Staying at this hotel places you walking distance from an array of shops, restaurants, attractions. Here are few that I…

So how are the restaurants at the Omni Hotel Boston Seaport?
During my stay at the Omni Hotel Boston at the Seaport, I made sure to try as much of the restaurants as I could. Because I booked through American Express, I got a head start with the daily breakfast credit. I used that to get a daily taste of Kestra. My first morning, I ordered…

More things at the Omni Seaport
Yesterday, I wrote up a quick review of my room at the Omni Boston Hotel at Seaport. Today, I want to focus on some of the other amenities I enjoyed. First, let’s take a moment for the art. Art in hotels is not novel, but this was a particular take that spoke to me. Shoes:…

Quick stay at the Omni Seaport
I visited Boston in the late fall. The hotel: Omni Hotel Seaport. It is a true conference center hotel. It had an expansive lobby, a huge number of rooms, and of course was right across the street from the conference center. In the lobby was a collection of eclectic art. There were sculptures of shoes…

Equinox Hotel in New York City is by far my favorite hotel. Now, the brand is branching out with a property coming to Amaala in 2026. I never planned to visit Saudi Arabia before, but now I’m intrigued. Right now, the site is only set up for notification sign-ups. I am going to pop in…

In defense of visiting chains while traveling
I can be a bit of a snob while traveling. I only want to visit local restaurants, without franchises. I want to eat local and really experience the area and its scene. While I was in Chicago, I did my best to try new local restaurants. In return, I was met with watery lattes, bland…

This delightful coffee shop was the highlight of my Chicago trip
“Are you okay if we go somewhere a little further out? It’s my favorite coffee shop.” With that kind of Chicago local seal of approval, I couldn’t refuse. I went with my friend to take the voyage to Bueno Days. It was well worth the journey. This Little Village establishment pairs an homage to Mexican…

Okay, about the food at the Fairmont Millenium Park
Yesterday, I wrote about my room at the Fairmont Millenium Park. It was fine, but I can’t see myself coming back, especially adding in my assessment of the food. Room Service Night one, I ordered a burger from room service. It’s been the standard that I use to judge all in-room dining services whenever possible.…

Quick review of the Fairmont Millennium Park
Months ago, I booked in for a stay at the Fairmont Millenium Park in Chicago. I wanted to try the brand for a while, with high hopes. I entered the property, noticing a rotunda decked out in warm wood, and I quickly went up to check out my room. I had booked a double, which…
