Happy Hotelier

Burj Al Arab by Tigger 2008

Just by coincidence I noticed someone landing here via Jumeira Knowledge base
I already knew a lot is going on at High Syndicate, sister of WiWiH: Many Hoteliers use it as as a closed group repository. I assumed access only for the insiders of the big hotel chain in question […]

Luxury Hotelier is a magazine for Hoteliers. It was launched in 2007. I am honored to be on their free paper edition distribution list. It acknowledges in a way I am a Luxury Hotelier. And that is one of the main reasons I am Blogging: being fully mesmerized having become a Luxury Hotelier.
They offer great […]

Hotel Front Desk Blog’s post Hotel Bloggers Linky (Not Kinky) Love inspired me to this post. He lists a couple of Hotel Insider Blogs, because:
Unlike most other industries, there’s not a lot of hotel related blogs penned by employees & insiders actually working in the hospitality industry - most seem to be just another marketing […]

Planning a trip to Paris? Don’t plan without reading this Times Online article The Complete Guide to Paris Style Hotels, where Steve Keenan summarizes in a well written and well documented article some of the best hotels in Paris.
I had featured some on the list already. But there are new surprises.
I have avoided Paris for […]

My High Five no 2 are for:

11 Bizarre Hotels That Will Knock Your Socks Off, most of them featured at my Unusual Hotels page or on the site Unusual Hotels of the World One minus in the post: I know that “Amsterdam” always draws visitore to your post, but this time the Dock Crane hotel […]

When I wrote about this now closed Berlin object of art/experimental one room billboard hotel in December 2007, I didn’t imagine that people would actually sleep in it. I visited it in March when I was in Berlin for ITB Berlin. Henri Roelings, who is one of the guys behind WiWiH (Who Is Who […]

That’s a good idea: Open an architectural monument for a stay! Then you can enjoy the look and feel of the creation of the architect.

The Davidson House in Buffalo, US, a design of America’s foremost Arts and Craft movement architect Frank Lloyd Wright is open for a stay with a minimum of 2 nights.

The Amsterdam College Hotel Front

Some of my prior posts in the Dutch Design category I forgot to number. I found the correct number:-)
Dutch designers Colin Finnegan and Gerard Glintmeijer of FG Stijl have had a important influence in the design of the Amsterdam College Hotel. I now have access to press material from their site […]

Director of Sleep

In my prior post I asked: “What is a Director of Sleep?”
I probed a bit further.
Usually a Director of Sleep is someone in a Hospital, a Mental or a Geriatric Institution who has specialized in sleep deprivation.
Thanks to the Learning Journey Blog and Cater Research I now know a bit more about […]

Today a short review of Pension Manfred Klauss, because one of our Austrian relatives called for their address and I want to be able to find its address back here at my blog.
This little Inn (”Pension” in German) is located between Wurzburg and Nurnberg in Germany.
This is about half way between The Netherlands and Vienna […]

I discovered Unique Small Hotels.
It seems a derivative of Booking.com, but because it unveils very little about itself I’m not sure.
As owner of a unique small luxury hotel I am always looking for small luxury hotels and B&B’s.
After checking out some of their offerings I can agree with many of their picks. Maybe I should […]

Here we go again with my “Nothing Zen” series
A fellow TrendHunter, a very trend setting young lady from Down Under, younger than my 2 daughters (who, by the way, are two very trend setting young ladies themselves) is going to attend a conference at the VU university of Amsterdam in July and asks me whether […]

Where to stay in Berlin?
General
So I will be meeting a couple of fellow Travel Bloggers (T-Listers) at the PhoCusWright Travel bloggers Summit.
As a hotelier, my primary focus is Luxury Hotels, although I must admit that anyone who sees the various subjects covered here, might doubt that.
I use the tag Nothing Zen, because when you […]

The Event
I am looking forward to the opportunity: On March 5 and 6, 2008 I will be meeting a couple of fellow Travel Bloggers (T-Listers) at a Travel bloggers Summit at ITB Berlin (International Travel Boerse (or Fair), Berlin.
More about the Summit itself later. For now a link to the Blog that has been launched […]

General
This post has been on my back burner for quite some time.
The reason i have revived it is that Buenos Aires is moving up on my wish list to visit. Also I realise there is nothing wrong with ongoing work on posts once published. So the
Originally I copied and pasted an article that Ian Mount […]
