Even the Red Dot site is not up to date yet:-)
Again a nice amenity/gadget for a hotel.

The Ambassador’s Last stand is a blog about the last days of the famous LA Ambassador Hotel.
They still have to update with the actual demolition of the hotel which was all over the news recently. 
I was wrong: The demolition I was referring to, was a Las Vegas Hotel

Sometimes you have to sit behind your computer screen and read a Blog post of someone far away in a foreign language (0300VD) to become a little bit proud of your own city where with a lot of difficulty a piece of the infrastructure has been knitted together and now attracts attention because of its […]

The Uk Times Travel Blog is currently written by a fellow hotelier from Cornwall, Mark Hayes, who prior to buying and building his own 3 room B&B, used to fill 25.000 hotel rooms per night in Florida for Disney.

And now Cesar Gonsales of the multi authored Argentina’s Travel Guide has given it a […]
