What’s Your favorite luxury Hotel?

hotels washington dc

Travelling in India is fun but challenging. And determing the best hotel on your loved ones are a lot more so. We’ve for ages been interested in learning the ‘right fit’ that many traveller seeks for their hotel stays. Is it the positioning, the luxurious quotient and great food? Or perhaps is it a captivating atmosphere, efficient service, outdoor activities and places to discover? My conclusion is, just like a great many other things in India, probably the seek out an ideal family hotel also defies a logical decision-making process.

Travelling as adults is relatively simple. We’re more flexible. Put in a few kids into the equation in fact it is a very different story, particularly when it’s really a long, arduous journey.

As with a lot of things with today’s India, the tourism sector has seen rapid expansion over the past decade and you will find now far more hotel options than ever before. Will no longer would be the only choices seriously high-end chain hotels (think the Oberois) grotty, over-priced mid-range hotels, or scruffy back-packer haunts. Put into they’re ‘heritage hotels’, decent independent luxury hotels, and homestays.

But is it possible to define which of these makes a perfect hotel for families with children?

hotels washington dc

Obviously, the positioning is fairly critical. This is the easy getting there, along with its location with regards to planned activities. A well-located hotel could help you save a long time on India’s sometimes dreadful roads where pit stops are rare, thus causing less, “Are we there yet?” questions in the children.

4 Interior Factors That Could Enhance Your Restaurant Experience
By: Hodge Walton
Tags: Restaurant, Hotels, Travel

When you decide to go to a restaurant with other people, it is essential to choose a place that plays to everybody’s palate. Yet another factor that could make the time more exciting or ruin it are the restaurant’s interiors.

Even if you are visiting a new place, and decide to stay in a motel with restaurant facilities, you need to take into account the interiors of the place to help make your stay more enjoyable.

Interiors play a crucial part in stimulating people’s senses. It can uplift the mood or break it. So, if you choose to hang out with your loved ones at a restaurant, it is important that along with the customer reviews on food, you also check up on the interior design of the restaurant. Here are some essential factors to bear in mind.

Table Arrangement

When you go to a restaurant with a group of people, you intend to make conversations through the course of the meal. In certain restaurants the tables are situated quite close to each other, which makes for uncomfortable conversations as the people next to you can hear in on everything. So, look for a restaurant where the tables are well spaced so that you and your group can enjoy a peaceful time filled with interesting conversations.

Lighting

Lighting plays a major role in you being able to enjoy your food and time, especially during dinnertime. Restaurants with harsh fluoro strips could give the place a harsh effect. Restaurants should be equipped with soft lighting. It helps to add a soft glow to the place, and also lets you enjoy your cherished time with your family or friends.

Noise Levels

Restaurants that go for the trending industrial design have a lot of hard surfaces that are not good at absorbing the surrounding noise. Since a restaurant has a lot of activity with customers and wait staff moving around, making conversations become difficult if their interiors are not fitted with furnishings like carpet or wooden floorings that absorb noise.

View

This may not be a crucial factor for everybody, but it does not hurt to have a restaurant with a great view. The view of a busy street scape or something by the water adds to the appeal of the place and can make your time even more amazing.

Choosing a restaurant with great interiors will enhance your dining experience. Barkly Motorlodge, one of the premium motels in Ballarat has the most exquisite restaurant which offers great food and a relaxing atmosphere with their modern décor. Visit barklymotorlodge.com.au for more details.

The Warwick Hotel near Rittenhouse Square has rebranded itself, upgrading its facilities and updating its name to the Radisson Blu Warwick Hotel.

[caption id=”attachment_246" align=”alignleft” width=”196"]

According to Joanne Cunningham, General Manager, Radisson Blu is one of the world’s leading hospitality brands characterized by its vibrant, contemporary, and engaging hospitality and service philosophy. Distinguished the world over as the HOTELS DESIGNED TO SAY YES!, Radisson Blu offers a visual celebration of leading-edge style where the delight is in the detail. The properties are located in prime locations in major cities, airport gateways, and leisure destinations around the world.

And now, too, in Philadelphia, where people are oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over the superb level of service they’ve experienced at the hotel.

“Rittenhouse Square is a treasure of a neighborhood and one that resonates style, sophistication, and luxury,” said Cunningham. “This renovation brings a contemporary design together with an iconic hotel located in Rittenhouse Square, while continuing to maintain the charm and heritage of this landmark property.”

As part of the renovation, the guest rooms, corridors, business center, fitness center, suites, concierge lounge, entrance of hotel, and lobby have been completed. Cunningham anticipates some additional enhancements. This week, the lobby walls will receive final graphics. In early 2014, the event space on the second and third floors will be redesigned to blend in with the sophisticated style of the lobby and customer areas. Also, the hotel is currently reviewing several concepts for Tavern 17, but Coffee Bar and The Prime Rib will remain unchanged.

While the improvements will likely increase rates, the hotel executives and staff are focused on value and customer service to add quality and enjoyment to the overall hospitality experience.

The Radisson Blu Warwick Hotel is a part of the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group’s upscale hotel brand in line with 4 star hotels. The group’s global footprint spans 100 countries and territories with a powerful set of global brands such as Radisson Blu, Radisson, Park Plaza, Park Inn by Radisson, Country Inns & Suites By Carlson, and Hotel Missoni. By 2015, the group plans to grow the portfolio to nearly 1,500 hotels in operation and under development.

3 great reasons to take a serviced apartment

3 great reasons to take a serviced apartment

St Dunstan’s Court Apartments, London

Serviced apartments are a fantastic alternative to hotels for relocation assignees around the world, offering tangible benefits to both the employee and the employer.

Skyline Worldwide’s Business Intelligence Manager for the EMEA region, Abi Lucy, tells us about just a few of the advantages of using serviced accommodation when relocating and travelling.

1. More space and flexibility

Serviced apartments offer more spacious accommodation compared to traditional hotels, often providing a living room, a kitchen, a separate bedroom and bathroom, ensuring that the guest can experience a more “home from home” atmosphere.

Guests are able to continue their typical routines without disruption, which can reduce the time it takes for them to settle in to their new environment. This flexibility isn’t restricted by specific breakfast times or rigid guidelines when staying in the apartment — serviced accommodation allows the guests to live their way.

2. Higher quality

At Skyline we pride ourselves on the quality and high standard of our apartments, and this doesn’t end with the permanent fixtures within the apartments. Not only do we source outstanding accommodation in key locations, we also provide 24 hour meet and greet services — so that the assignee will always be met personally by one of our team, complimentary internet access and Sky TV, and we ensure that the apartments are finished to the very highest specifications.

3. Cost effectiveness

The opportunity for cost savings is one of the biggest benefits for both the employer and the assignee. The facilities provided within the apartments, such as the full kitchen, allow the guest to avoid eating out, submitting expenses and waiting for reimbursement — so the employer is able to reduce per diem allowances for F&B, laundry and hotel-type incidentals.

The potential extent of savings can be increased considerably when two or three colleagues share an apartment, particularly for stays of 90 days plus. These savings can be as much as 50%, for a 2 bedroom apartment which would be more cost effective than 2 studios.

These cost savings can impact enormously on the overall price of the relocation process, as temporary accommodation can be one of the most significant outlays of any international assignment.

Celsium provides top-quality serviced apartments globally via our preferred partners. If you would like to learn more about serviced apartments worldwide, please contact us here.

Day 22: A lone seeker
By: Matjaž Šircelj
Tags: Travel, Love, Airports, Hotels, Cities

I like airports. I feel them as places where everybody has their wish granted. Going somewhere they imagined long time ago. Meeting someone they invited for holiday after not seeing them for too many years. Passengers going on the same plane are strangers, but they have the same goal. Everything is buzzing, yet it all seems like a calmed ant farm. All the shops, bars and restaurants make you feel like you’re in your own town. And especially I like bookstores. They are like reminiscences of the past, embracing our hungry soul, feeding us with curiosity, hugging us and sending us into the world richer, enlightened, wiser.

I like hotels. I feel them as places where everybody is home for just a little while. There is always someone at the desk that says goodnight, always a good morning. I know it’s their job, but still, their nature is friendly, they try to be human as possible, they help through those rare moments when you’re not at home, yet you are. And especially I like their piano bars. Everyone is welcome there and no one is lonely, even if they come alone. Music is gentle, there is no rush, only slow movement of lost souls, trying to have a pleasant evening.

I like cities in the evening. I feel people on long walks, exploring bright alleys. I hear distant chatter, music from the bars. I smell the food from the restaurants, taking me all over the world. Everything feels more peaceful. Everyone starts accepting reality that day is coming to an end. And especially I like people, wondering around like they in the city for the first time, trying to find where to go next to a dinner, party, hotel.

Barcelona, November 2008

There are so many places in our lives where we are surrounded with people, but we feel so alone. And sometimes there are places, where we are alone on a journey, but feel so connected. Connected not only with complete strangers, but with their souls, their exploring spirits, their adventurous hearts.

One of the hardest thing in the world is feeling lonely in a group of people. And one of the most beautiful thing is being one with lone seekers just like you.

A Hotel Review of: Marina Bay Sands (Deluxe Room)
Tags: Staycation, Singapore, Hotel

In October, I had the chance to stay in one of Singapore’s most iconic hotels — Marina Bay Sands! Situated on top of Bayfront MRT Station and The Shoppes, this is a landmark, no tourist should miss!

Night view of Marina Bay Sands

When walking in the 3 tower long building, we were stunned by the interiors of the lobby. Due to the long crowds at the Check In counters, we were invited to use the VIP check in lane. After a short 15 minutes wait, we were attended to by the friendly check in staff and was off to our rooms pretty fast.

Deluxe Twin Room (Gardens View)

We were assigned to a room at the third tower of the massive structure. (Take note that the walk from the first tower to the last can be tiring) Due to safe distancing measures (We stayed during the COVID period), there were 2 Safe Distancing staff stationed at each entrance of the towers to make sure that there would not be more than 5 guest (including visitors) in one room at any point in time. Do note that all unregistered guest must leave the room by 10pm.

Honestly, I felt that the rooms were very old. However, there were a few slightly more modern touches (like the lights) which help make the room nicer.

View from our Deluxe Twin Room

Do you remember seeing the long surfboard like structure spanning the top of all three towers? That’s where the swimming pool is!

View from the rooftop Infinity Pool

You may think that the pool stretches across all three towers. However, the answer is no! In fact, the pools are segregated into 3, with a mini kids pool at one end of the “surfboard” (if I’m not wrong). Unfortunately due to the pandemic, reservations for the infinity pool has to be made in advance to control the crowd. All food and beverages would have to be consumed within the first 30 minutes of your timeslot. If you do not feel like swimming, you can always relax on one of their many lounge chairs too!

Note: There is also a jacuzzi on the other side of the swimming pool with great views of Gardens by the Bay!

View of Marina Bay Sands from Gardens by the Bay

All in all, I really enjoyed my stay at the Marina Bay Sands. However, my gripe with it was that the location is not exactly ideal if you wish to walk to the area of Suntec City or Orchard (where most people would normally go for shopping) and the rooms weren’t the best. But, you could easily take the train from Bayfront to Esplanade or Orchard respectively! For a nicer room, you could also pay to upgrade to a Premier Room instead, with a slightly bigger room and more modern interiors (though they may not be cheap). Even though I enjoyed my stay, I am not sure if the price post COVID would be justifiable for the type of room and location. Well, we can only wait and see, i guess.

A branded watch or jewellery represents success. When a person wears something expensive, adorable and trendy at the same time, he or she is looked upon with respect. These products not only symbolise dignity, but also add stars to the personality of who wears them. In this world, wearing luxury watches or accessories is a trend. That is undeniable fact that no one in general can resist products from top brands. Even a hundred ordinary products cannot make for one single branded product. And that’s why they are in great demand and customers from all over the world want to get hold of them as precious collections.

It is not that the luxury and branded products are priced high just because they are from a reputed brand. They have touches from international designers and boast of superior technologies, which make them precious in every way. One common issue faced by the fans of the biggest brands is the price involved with the products. No doubt the well to do customers can purchase these luxurious items at will; but the average customers sometimes have to get their desires crushed when the economy is not helping much. This is very tragic!

There is a solution. Certain online pawn shop outlets let these enthusiastic fans purchase great discounted products from the top brands around the world. Especially in a country like UK, purchasing DKNY watches online at great discounts from online pawn shops is quite possible. It is really possible to get products that are a little old, but in great shape and with a warranty. For instance these online stores have Rolex watches, branded accessories and Jewellery from Thomas Sabo all sold at super rebates. It is only a matter of time before you make up your mind and complete your collection.
Changes in the Hotel Industry

“Today,” says Mr Marriott, “guests check in, they go to their room, drop their stuff. Then they go back to the lobby and hang out with friends or work on their computer.” As a result, lobby designs must now accommodate what he calls “this new desire to connect”. Take Courtyard, for example, one of the company’s cheaper brands. “In an old Courtyard hotel, two or three years ago, there was nothing going on in the lobby,” says Mr Marriott. “Today we have a bistro. And we have a lot of cubby places where people can get together.”

Bill Marriott has spent 60 years working for his family hotel group and talked to The Economist about how he’s seen the industry change. Besides making the lobby a more exciting place to hang out, Marriott says they’ve made desks smaller in hotel rooms to provide more space and because people just like working from bed. Also: guests don’t really use the closet and just grab things from their suitcases on the luggage rack.

The not unpacking of the suitcase is definitely true (for me at least). All of the hotels I’ve stayed at in the last two years were for weddings, and the main reasons for hanging out in the lobby were because it was the place that made the most sense to meet before heading out, and because they were always handing out free cookies. Suggestion to hotels: more free cookies, please.

How Will Travel Change In 2021?

How Will Travel Change In 2021?

The New Year is right around the corner, so we have decided to look back at this year in tourism and make a forecast for the near future of the hospitality industry.

The main trends we have already seen this year will continue developing. The sense of uncertainty that led to a decrease in bookings will stay — people now plan trips at the last moment. Until the situation returns to some semblance of normalcy, people will stick to this behaviour. With that said, as tourist traffic recovers, planning in advance should once again become more beneficial, and people will come back.

Another thing is that with less income, people became less mobile. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to change next year. What is here to stay, however, is domestic tourism. In 2021 it will continue to be the driving trend of the hospitality industry. If previously people used to travel to a handful of popular destinations, now the word “mass” in regards to tourism has become synonymous with “unsafe”, thus more and more people choose the seldom-travelled routes and resorts within their countries. This means domestic markets are expanding from within. Customized travel has also become more prominent — smaller tourist groups, carefully designed experiences, and guided journeys through nature reserves. There is a growing demand for vacations centered around outdoor activities — rafting, horseback riding, bike trails, fitness tours.

It’s hard to make a solid forecast for the near future of international tourism — it depends on a plethora of factors and decisions made by multiple countries. Of course, the world will continue opening up again, but it will be a very slow and gradual process. Firstly, new medical certificates required for international travel will be introduced, and people will keep cautious about catching a disease. All of this leads to a conclusion that crowded resorts aren’t coming back anytime soon, and when they do, most people will be wearing masks.

The Craziest Hotel Sign I Ever Saw

The Craziest Hotel Sign I Ever Saw

It’s different in Europe

Photo by greyerbaby at Morguefile.com

My wife and I once stayed at the Villa Serbelloni in Bellagio, one of Italy’s grandest hotels. We don’t usually stay in a place like that but it was our anniversary so we splurged.

We got into our room, put our suitcase down and admired the view over Lake Como. Nice!

Then my wife noticed a card lying on the nightstand. It was like a “Do Not Disturb” sign, but different. Really different.

“Take a look at this,” she said. “I’ve never seen anything like it!”

The card was in four languages and it took me a minute to find one I understood. Then I saw it. It was an instruction to the guest: “If you leave your baby alone in the room in the evening, please hang up this sign on the door (outside).”

I flipped the card over. This was the side that would be visible when you hung it on your doorknob.

At the top was, “Silence, baby is sleeping.” And below, “I’m alone. If I cry, please tell the concierge.”

“Do you think this is for real?” I asked. “You just leave your baby in the room by itself?”

“I guess,” said my wife. “But I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it.”

I can’t say if anyone actually used the card. We kept our ears open but didn’t hear any abandoned babies crying in their room. Nor did we see the concierge scurrying around with a wailing infant in his arms. But still.

Definitely a WTF moment.

European Union On Changes In Tourism
Tags: Tourism, Blockchain, Hms, Hospitality, Hotel

As we are trying to hold the second wave of the pandemic at bay, which shows little signs of stopping, it is becoming more and more obvious that a lot of industries will undergo drastic changes, and one of the first fields to go through this change is the tourism industry. This is coming from the European Union authorities.

Bans and restrictions on travel that were implemented in an effort to curtail the spread of COVID-19 have hit the tourism sector very hard. Entire hotels are vacant, airplanes are rusting away with little use, and staff is laid off by the millions.

What is happening amid the coronavirus hysteria in the field of international tourism and air travel? For instance, Germany is reducing prices on railroad travel in an effort to incentivize people to use alternative means of transportation.

Air carriers, one of them is Easyjet, are cutting down on their fleets. It all points towards a conclusion: if tourism is to survive the pandemic, it must radically change.

A lot of forward-looking travel firms, hoteliers and transport companies understand the inevitable structural changes to the economy, and are already putting effort into adapting to the new reality.

Will tourism ever come back in its former glory? Without a doubt, but it will be a completely different thing. At least that is what the European authorities believe. They claim there will no longer be hundreds of charter flights with millions of tourists going to beach resorts. EU commissioners advise everyone to get up to speed on the theory of “sustainable development” and begin adapting to the new world order.

The EU authorities claim that companies who believe they will be able to come back to the way they were doing business as they used to, won’t be able to survive the current crisis.
