Disclaimer: I was invited by Sands Macao to enjoy one night at Conrad Macao, as well as dine at the Portuguese restaurant Chiado, and the Chinese restaurant Jiang Nan. Following a nice Cantonese meal earlier this year at The Venetian Macao, I was looking forward to seeing what else the massive Sands Macao development — […]

Hotel Review: The Hari, Hong Kong
Disclaimer: In exchange for a 2-night stay, I am writing a review of The Hari hotel in Hong Kong. Having been a former (albeit brief) Hong Kong, and Shenzhen resident, I seem to make it to HK once or twice a year. Somehow, HKG is still my 2nd-most used airport, even though it has been […]
Hotel Review: Park Hotel Tokyo

Hotel Review: Shiba Park Hotel, Tokyo

Although I could have just as easily looked at a map, I was barely familiar with Brickell, let alone Miami. However, given that it was just a few minutes walk from the Metro Rail station, by which you can easily get […]
Hotel Review: Marriott Marquis Dubai
Disclaimer: In exchange for a stay, I am writing this review of the Marriott Marquis Dubai. Located in the brand-new Jewel of the Creek district close to downtown Deira and City Centre Deira shopping plaza, the 434-room Marriott Marquis Dubai just opened in late March 2024. Check-in I had a short walk to the hotel […]
