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…

And now, the food at the Langham Hotel in New York
When I booked my stay at the Langham Hotel in New York City, I did it through American Express. That gave me daily breakfasts, a credit to be used for dining, and a whole lot of excuses to try the food. Multiple mornings, I started breakfasts in their dining room. On one side of the…

Quick note about the service at the Langham Hotel NYC
Yesterday, I started writing about my experience at the Langham Hotel in New York. You can read about my thoughts on the room (or not, the spoiler is that I was not impressed) but today I’m focused on the other aspects of the hotel. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by the front desk staff.…

A sorta room tour at the Langham NYC
After staying at the Langham Hotel in Boston, I got curious about the other properties they had around the world. This summer I made my way to the New York location. I went up to the room, using the key card enabled elevator. The bathroom was stocked with Diptyque products. There was a welcome treat…

A quick stay at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry

A stay at The Barnett in New Orleans (Part 2)
“Is that dander in the couch?” As I went through my room at The Barnett in New Orleans to document my travels, excitedly, my stomach turned. Instead of learning about all of the details to give a better review, I started analyzing the space for cleanliness. Then there was a screwdriver under the table. Just…

A stay at The Barnett in New Orleans (Part 1)
Today I am writing to you about my stay at The Barnett, in New Orleans. Tomorrow, I will write about the experience. Let’s jump in with the tour. It is centrally located in a good section of New Orleans, not right smack on the craziness of Canal Street, but walking distance from nightlife and restaurants.…

A stay at Villa Copenhagen
Ah yes, Villa Copenhagen. In the spirit of the voting for Travel+Leisure’s world’s best, I think it’s time I give you my review of this fine hotel. Let’s go back to this summer. I packed my bags at Coco Hotel in Vesterbro and made the walk over, deeper in to the Copenhagen city center. It…

These are the hotels I’m recommending, if you’re wondering
Voting for the Travel+Leisure awards has opened. Here are four hotels I will be nominating. It’s only right for me to start this off with the hotel that started it all for me. 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge was the first “nice” hotel I ever stayed at and gave a glimpse into what excellent service meant.…
