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.

Featured Article - Best Business Hotels in NYC, Boston, and D.C.

From time to time, I will feature articles from other sites and blogs as I come across interesting ones.  For the most part, I will try to share articles that feature a particular category of luxury hotels or an in-depth look at a particularly interesting hotel.  This week, I'd like to share with you an article from the The Suite Life Blog, which features some suggestions for nice business hotels in three often frequented cities in the Northeast: New York City, Boston, and Washington D.C.  You can check out the article here.  In addition, I have added the Perfect Escapes site to the resources listed at the bottom of the page.


The article offers options in each city at what it calls moderate and luxury levels and also lists links to other favorite business hotels in Chicago, San Francisco, and Hong Kong.  For Boston, the article suggests The Charles Hotel at the moderate level and the XV Beacon at the luxury level.  For NYC, the Affinia Shelburne and The Benjamin Hotel are the locations of choice.  Finally, the article serves up The Churchill Hotel at the moderate level and Kimpton's Hotel Palomar for D.C., which ironically was also featured recently on the TripKick blog and has a great restaurant called Urbana I check out during restaurant week.  I think of the three cities, I love what the Boston selections have to offer the most, and they both have great individual websites so be sure to check them out!

More on The Suite Life Blog and Kimpton Hotels in the future!
