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.…

Equinox Hotel is becoming one of my favorites for this reason
I previously stayed using the Science of Sleep package, but I had a sneaking suspicion that the package didn’t add all that much to my experience. I wanted to know what the “regular experience” was. Some of the same elements that were meant to assist with sleep were still there. The only in-room difference I…

I really like the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge
I went back to the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. Truthfully, it was the first really nice hotel I had ever stayed at and set the standard for me as to what a hotel experience could and should be like. This time around I booked using the Mastercard Travel services to take advantage of some of…

Quick stay at The Renaissance Minneapolis, The Depot
The Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot is located in downtown Minneapolis. I got there by taking the train and then making the short walk from the stop. After checking in, I headed up to see my room. The bed was firm, and I slept with no problem. I was happy to have a work station,…

Here is a very short review of The Robey, Chicago
This might be my most room centered room review ever. When I stayed at the Robey Hotel, I didn’t see any amenities, a restaurant, or really even the hallway. Why, shortly after my check-in, I was too sick to do anything at all. At the very least, here is what I thought of the room.…

Equinox Hotel has a Science of Sleep package. Here’s how it went down.
During my stay at the Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards, I opted to try out the Science of Sleep package. Truth be told, it was one of the reasons why I was so eager to try this hotel. I had visions of myself, entering the hotel haggard from all the work and nights staying up way…

Let’s eat at the Equinox Hotel
During my say at the Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards, I just had to let myself have the experience of ordering room service. I used the in-room iPad to place the order. The menu is expansive. It includes health forward fare and options for when you are feeling more indulgent. I, myself, have committed myself to…
