New Poll!

Set up a new poll today.  Vote on your favorite style of luxury hotel!  Once the poll closes, I will post a feature on a chosen hotel in that category.  Here are the choices (as you can see in the poll) with an example of a hotel that fits that description:

Grand: Willard Intercontinental Washington
Boutique: Lorien Hotel & Spa
Spa/Beach Resort: Hotel Hana-Maui and Honua Spa
Business: Shangri-la Far Eastern Plaza Hotel

As for the results of the last poll, the favorite part of a luxury hotel to the most readers was the Beach/Pool area.  So I scouted out a great looking beach resort called Moon Dance Cliffs in Jamaica on the JustLuxe travel website.  This hotel is located right on the ocean and features a selection of rooms, suites, and villas (yes, villas!) that you can choose for your stay.  The pool area looks amazing and there's also a spa that features a full range of services at pretty reasonable prices.  The hotel also features an all-inclusive package so you can enjoy your stay without worrying about racking up the bill.  Next time you're headed to Jamaica, give the Moon Dance Cliffs some thought.

Welcome to Hotel Hopper!

Hey everyone, welcome to my new Hotel Hopper blog!  I encourage you to browse through all of the content on the different pages.  I am NOT a professional in the hotel industry, but just a consumer who appreciates quality products and wants to create a personal and realistic online community about exceptional hotels.  The site will feature all types of hotels, ranging from luxury hotels, boutiques, spa hotels, and resorts.  The home page will feature most of the site content, which is likely to feature articles, reviews, polls, surveys, feeds, and other relevant material.  I will create posts about new or interesting hotels to visit someday that I have discovered through the internet, magazines, other types of media, or by word of mouth.  The Your Hotel Hops page allows you to create posts on the exceptional places you have stayed during your travels.  These posts will be reviewed so that the common theme of the site is preserved, but I will try to be as liberal as possible so you can share your experiences with others.  The Luxury Hotel Rating Criteria presents the methodology I plan on using to review luxury hotels that I visit.  This page can also serve as a template should you want to share your experiences on the Your Hotel Hops page.  The Gallery page will features interesting pics of hotels that I find during my searches that may not be featured in a post.  Finally, feel free to leave comments on the Feedback page.  I hope you enjoy and check back often for new content!
