I booked my stay at the very last-minute (2 days before arrival) and was a bit afraid about this property. Indeed, the “Cherry Blossom” event is very famous in Japan and all luxury hotels were full since a long time… New Otani was the only one with available room and usually it is quite a bad omen ! However I…
It was quite easy to choose Bulgari London for our first 2013 stay : a new boutique hotel in Knighstbridge with oversized room, the biggest SPA pool in the city and very good first reviews.

This is the magic of Cathay Pacific, one of the TOP 3 companies which understood that a travel begins when you enter the plane. Indeed, the first impression when you pass the…
For my business trip in Hong-Kong I simply chose an hotel close to my office at Time Square ; Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Causeway Bay is in the town center of HK and more precisely in the shopping/business district. It means you can easily walk to the subway or even to Convention Center and this is very pleasant. Globally the…
