Hotel Review: Shiba Park Hotel, Tokyo
Disclaimer: In exchange for a two-night stay at Tokyo’s Shiba Park Hotel, I am writing this review. At the other end of the frenetic Tokyo spectrum, we have the 76-year old Shiba Park Hotel; you wouldn’t be surprised to know that the hotel is just a few minutes walk from the eponymous Shiba Park, and […]
Hotel Review: Shinjuku Prince Hotel, Tokyo
Disclaimer: I am writing this review in exchange for a one-night stay at the Shinjuku Prince Hotel. There is probably no single Tokyo hotel that I’ve walked by more than the Shinjuku Prince Hotel. Why? One, it’s in a cliché photogenic neighborhood, Kabukicho: Two, I’m a frequent visitor to the Shinjuku Batting Center, home of […]
Hotel Review: Novotel Miami Brickell
Disclaimer: Thanks to Vanessa Menkes Communications, I received a one-night stay at Novotel Miami Brickell. Following an underwhelming stay at DUA Miami, it was time to switch from Marriott to Accor.

Check-in I had a short walk to the hotel […]
Hotel Review: Aloft Bangkok Sukhumvit 11
The 298-room Aloft Bangkok Sukhumvit 11 — located on Sukhumvit Soi 11 –exists in a very crowded sea of hotels, restaurants, and nightlife. With so much choice — and more options being built month after month in one of the world’s most visited cities — how does this property stand out? For a more literal […]
Hotel Review: Mövenpick Hotel and Residences Riyadh
Earlier this year, I had to go to Riyadh for some delicious business, so I chose to stay at the Mövenpick Hotel and Residences Riyadh. It’s only about one year old, but it still looks like it’s a new property. Located near King Abdullah Financial District, the chief economic zone of the Saudi capital, undoubtedly […]
