Nobu Atlanta Hotel Review: The gym
This might seem odd to have an entire post dedicated to the gym at the Nobu Atlanta Hotel. Well, you only think that because you haven’t been there. As someone who has been to quite a few hotels of late, this place is far above any others I have seen. I have included the full…

Nobu Hotel Atlanta Review: The room
When I finally made it to the Nobu Atlanta Hotel, the experience inside was serene. I was greeted at the front desk with an oshiburi towel, a hot towel that smelled of lemongrass and calmed my stress trying to find the place. Check-in went very smoothly, the women working the desk were friendly and ready…

Nobu Atlanta Hotel Review: Getting there
This is the start on my series on my experience at the Nobu Hotel in Atlanta. Let’s start with even getting there. You of course have multiple options, depending on how you decide to get to the city. If you are coming from the airport, this location is roughly 30 minutes aware by car. If…

This was my experience booking through Master Card Travel
I decided to book my stay at the Knickerbocker Hotel using the MasterCard site. If you are not aware, if your credit card is part of the Master Card World Elite program, you have access to use their site to book travel and other experiences. The reason I chose to book through the program rather…

Knickerbocker Hotel Review: Dining
The dining options at the Knickerbocker hotel include Charlie’s, Jakes, and in-room dining. The only meals I had at Charlie’s were the daily breakfasts. The first day we got there close to 10 AM.

The Knickerbocker Hotel Review: Service and gym (and an emergency)
I’m reviewing my stay at The Knickerbocker Hotel. Let’s talk about the services. The staff sent text messages to check, which I ignored, because I didn’t think anything of it. Then they called the room. It was jarring. I didn’t need anything. If nothing else, they were very serious about checking in and making sure…

The Knickerbocker Hotel Review: The room
The Knickerbocker Hotel is located in Times Square, great if you want to be in the center of the action. Stepping off the busy street, barely dodging lost tourists and photo takers, the lobby was a reprieve. It looked the part of a luxury hotel. (Of course, I have no photo of it.) We walked…

Musings on croissants, Paris, and Louis Vuitton
Croissants are a treat I love making. Maybe it’s the desire to be a real baker, one who uses just her hands and muscle to knead the dough without equipment. Maybe it is just because there is no substitute for the buttery flakiness when they’re fresh out of the oven. As much as I enjoy…

Conrad Los Angeles, just another new luxury hotel I have learned about
I am not sure where I got this from, but I have become obsessed with looking for the nicest hotels around, and then wishing upon a star to one day stay there. Today’s new hotel I just learned about is the Conrad Los Angeles. I admit, this was all inspired by the CNN list of…

Think outside American Express: Other cards with travel benefits
I think it is easy to think about American Express as the go to card for people who love to travel in style. But did you know that the other major brands also have special benefits as well? These perks include enhanced amenities at hotels, early or late check-in, airline fee credits and more. You…
