Priceline

November 18th, 2009
Priceline.com – is one of the most popular hotel-booking sites on the web. Promoted by the untouchable Captain Kirk, it’s no wonder this website has become a favorite among hotel bookers around the world. Indeed, Priceline offers extensive coverage, linking you to cruises, hotels, flights, cars and package vacation deals. And yet, our thorough research team was able to find two particular shortcomings on this popular site. First, Priceline is focused exclusively on discounts. While we at hotels-in.com care about your economic needs, we also recognize that travelers have more than just budgetary concerns. Second, the homepage’s interface is cluttered with unhelpful company ads that detract from the truly relevant information. Once you enter into the actual search, these sidebars go away, but the overwhelming number of icons on… ... Read the rest of Priceline

Three Interesting Airport Hotels

November 14th, 2009
Is there anything more boring than being asked to fly to a city for a meeting, only to find out that the meeting is in an office by the airport and that you'll be staying at the airport hotel? Airport hotels have a reputation for being soulless and extremely dull. Trust me, once you've stayed in a few of the same chain, it becomes difficult to distinguish between them. Part of the reason is that airport hotels tend to be less expensive than their downtown counterparts. And because they cater almost exclusively for business travelers, they can be pretty unremarkable. Thankfully, the hotel business is one that's always innovating and if you're luckily enough to have a generous boss, you might want to consider staying in any of the following hot airport… ...

Business Lounge Access

November 14th, 2009
Three options for gaining access to business lounges One of the big headaches for the business traveler is 'dead-time'. I'm talking about the insane amount of time you spend traveling to airports, waiting around in airports, taxiing in airports. If you fly within Europe or the States, it's not unusual to spend more time messing around on the ground than in the air. One way to make the most of your time in the airport is to access a business lounge. Your lounge will at the minimum provide a desk, power-point and Internet. Some offer free drinks, showers and other services. Usually though, these lounges are the preserve of business/first passengers. But what if your company isn't willing to pay for a business or first class ticket? You can, thankfully, still make use… ... Read the rest of Business Lounge Access

Weird & Wonderful Vegas Entertainment

November 13th, 2009
Weird and Wonderful Hotel Entertainment: Vegas Style There's no shortage of entertainment options in Las Vegas, and mostly it centres around the large mega-resorts that are scattered around the city. Not every hotel can afford a Celine Dion or Elton John, and to stay competitive they sometimes come up with bizarre ideas to keep punters amused. Here are some ideas if you're looking for a little off-the-wall hotel entertainment (that preferably does not involve Siegfried and Roy) Taking the mountain to Mohammed parislasvegas Iconic monuments are hard-earned. And clearly the architects of Vegas hotels don't have the time or inclination to build them. So why not borrow from other great cities? That's obviously what they had in mind when building the hotels: Paris Las… ... Read the rest of Weird & Wonderful Vegas Entertainment

Gentrification in Berlin

November 12th, 2009
Dear Bloggers, Hello again from a darkening Berlin (for all you readers beguiled by Berlin’s momentary trendiness, the city sits at 52 degrees 30 minutes North—that’s higher up than Quebec City!) As the Winterzeit sets in and 2010 approaches, it’s a good time to reflect on the changes that have brought us to where we are now. Berlin, as many of you know, is a city in flux. Every day a new building pops up, a new restaurant opens and old rents rise. Berlin is still a comparatively inexpensive city to live in, but an aggressive wave of gentrification has ransacked this once Bohemian paradise. As any moderately informed tourist can tell you, this started out in the former East neighborhood of Prenzlauerberg or “P’Berg” as the Amis (Americans) like to call it… ...

Old School Vegas Hotels

November 12th, 2009
Las Vegas "Old-School" Hotels Everyone knows hotels in Vegas are the biggest, glitziest and most elaborate hotels in the world. Ice skating rinks, shopping malls, not to mention super-casinos are all part of the experience for many people. But it hasn't always been this way. It wasn't until 1976 when Atlantic City started to issue gambling licenses that the mega-resort boom of Vegas happened. Seeing Atlantic City as a threat, these mega-resorts became destinations in their own right - and not just for gamblers. Steve Wynn and other big tycoons made Vegas a vacation spot for the masses, and the city spawned ever bigger hotels. It's still possible to stay in a hotel that has some history, and recaptures some of the glamour and taste of Vegas's early… ... Read the rest of Old School Vegas Hotels

Art Deco Miami Hotels

November 10th, 2009
In many respects Miami is like many other cities in the US; it has all the trappings of a big city. Except for one difference - the Art Deco National Historic District. Although it's only a small part of the town (comprising just a few dozen buildings), their architectural merit marks this out as a big draw for the city. What many people do not realise about this district is that between the 1930s and 1980s, it was in fact pretty unfashionable. The area became run down and was a frequent haunt for drug dealers and gamblers. Not until the late 80s (and perhaps it had something to do with Miami Vice), did the area become gentrified. It's now possible to stay in any number of art-deco miami

Hello Blogosphere! (… and my take on getting the most out of a hotel stay)

November 4th, 2009
Hello all you enthusiastic and excitable travellers out there! I’m Gerhard, and I’ll be blogging here. So get used to it ;) You ask: Who is this guy and what exactly is his deal? Why is he writing these public messages about hotels for the entire world to see? Who or what is his muse, and what inspires him? I once overheard an Australian man who had worked on the railroad there talking to a stranger on a train in Germany. He said, “When you’re young, you’re just odd. But when you get older, you’re an enigma.” In short, I’m hoping to make it to the enigma level. Anyways, I’m 26, and live in Berlin. I moved here from Tennessee, mainly because I wanted… ...
