LUXX XL – Bangkok

Posted on 03 March 2010

LUXX XL has that homey feeling that is sometimes hard to find when you are thousands of miles away from home. It’s hard to believe that this minimalist cool structure would have this feel to it, but you have to stay here to believe. It’s far from that annoying bed and breakfast feel where you [...]

New Majestic Hotel – Singapore

Posted on 15 February 2010

Andrew Derrick
The New Majestic Hotel in Singapore offers Design with a capital “D.” But while it offers a hotel experience filled with artwork and decor by all sorts of different artists, theatre directors, and designers of furniture and clothing, the feel is accessible without pretension. There is definitely a touch of whimsy with rooms [...]

Posted on 11 February 2010

Review and Photos by The Cobrasnake
L’Hotel Caron de Beaumarchais is very well decorated. From the lobby with old paintings and books everywhere to the rooms with amazing wallpaper and vintage furniture. You feel at home in this old fashioned hotel.   The hotel is located in one of the best neighborhoods in Paris making it [...]

Malmaison – Oxford, UK

Posted on 27 January 2010

Jennifer O’Neill
To say a stay at Malmaison Oxford, is like no hotel stay I’ve ever experienced before, would be quite an understatement. This unique hotel located in the idyllic town of Oxford, England, is actually a former Victorian prison, which has been seamlessly transformed into a luxurious boutique hotel. I know you’re probably [...]

Hotel Indigo London-Paddington

Posted on 05 January 2010

A Robb Wirt Experience

As my London escapades come to an end, I relocate over to the Paddington area to check out Hotel Indigo, a 4 star branded boutique hotel. No! I didn’t get kicked out of my last hotel. You’re so silly. First thing I noticed was how close the hotel is to the tube. [...]

Concourse Hotel by Steve Aoki

Posted on 30 December 2009

When i checked in to Concourse Hotel in Madison Wisconsin it felt like a standard hotel nothing out of the ordinary. Lobby and reception looked and felt like most sub par hotels I’ve been in. They booked me on the top floor with a decent view. The room was a bit bigger than your average [...]

Hidden Hotel – Paris

Posted on 27 December 2009

Review and Photos by The Cobrasnake

The Hidden Hotel. What can I say. It’s hidden on a quiet street in the 17th Arrondissement of Paris. Its only been open for a few months but it has some character. The concept is that you should feel like you are in a cabin or something. I didn’t really feel [...]

Mandarin Oriental – NYC

Posted on 06 December 2009

There is no denying that the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Manhattan is serious about luxury with an added Far-East flair: chandeliers, Oriental marble and tapestries; over-attentive staff who aren’t uncomfortably stiff; glorious flower arrangements; divine bathrooms; ludicrously comfortable beds and floor to ceiling windows in some of the largest rooms in all of New York. [...]

The MAve Hotel – NYC

Posted on 04 December 2009

By Danny Chan

Let’s skip the foreplay and get straight to business. That’s the feeling I had when I hopped out of my taxi and into the minimal lobby (if you even want to call it that) of the MAve Hotel. As I approached the reception desk I was greeted in such a professional and yet [...]

Hotel on Rivington – NYC

Posted on 25 November 2009

Hotels these days are really pushing the boundaries in terms of offering more services, outlandish design and mechanized service. Hotel on Rivington holds their standards to a high point, without sacrificing anything in the process. I’ve visited plenty of hotels of late where the staff seems terrified of the management (and thusly, me), hotels where [...]

Hempel Hotel – London

Posted on 09 November 2009

Review and Photos by The Cobrasnake

The Hempel is a really quiet hotel located in Paddington. It’s far away from everything. When you are inside it feels really relaxing. The reception is very quiet and clean -as is the rest of the hotel. The room was completely white. The bed was so big you could comfortably sleep 4 [...]

One Aldwych Hotel – London

Posted on 01 November 2009

Located in the heart of the West End and situated right next to Covent Garden, One Aldwych is a celebration of the neighborhood in which it stands. One quick elevator up and you’re high above the London streets. The suite’s picture windows offer clear views of the London cityscape and some rooms offer a glimpse [...]

Athenaeum – London

Posted on 25 October 2009

By Robb Wirt

One of my favorite places to stay, hands down! I don’t even know where to start. Give me a moment while I collect my thoughts… Hmmm, well, I guess it starts back at the tube station really. The hotel is located in the middle of Green Park and Marble Arch tube stops. Green [...]
