GPS Carlos Melia at Yotel New York City

Jan 20 2012
Filed In: Carlos Melia, GPS Carlos Melia, Hotel Check IN

GPS Carlos Melia at Yotel New York City | New York, United States | Just Checked IN at my Premium Cabin at Yotel New York. I am fully fascinated by the concept and style of this hotel. Luxury cabins with full five-star services, avant-garde design and technology, a great location for a very affordable price. Where Mission Control is their version of a Concierge Desk, fully automated Check IN, a robot that stores your luggage and a real Dohyo is the restaurant and bar. I will be posting more upon departure, but I wanted to share this with you all, since I found it to be the coolest affordable hotel option in New York City. where you won’t jeopardize quality and service for price.

The Mark Hotel New York City


Filed In: Carlos Melia, Hotel Check IN, Hotels, New York, United States

The Mark Hotel New York City | New York, United States | I have just checked OUT from the beautiful and charming exclusive boutique hotel The Mark. If there is a way to describe it is… full class, welcoming, happening, fashionable and chic. 1927 landmark building at the corner of 77th Street and Madison Avenue. Designed by Jacques Grange and with impeccable service under the perfectionist eye of luxury hotel manager Olivier Lordonnois, The Mark combines old-world comfort, avant-garde design, the latest technologies and an unprecedented level of personal service to create the finest five-star hotel of the 21st-century. I have been in New York for over seven years, and I must say that I always stick to the same hotel preferences, although The Mark is not just a hotel, it is a whole experience of great taste and class.

Setai South Beach Check IN

Jan 16 2012
Filed In: Florida, Miami Beach, United States

Setai South Beach Check IN | Miami Beach, United States | Last night I checked IN at the stunning, chic and sexy Setai South Beach. I will be spending here two nights, in a beautiful room facing the shore line of South Beach. A very Asian look combined with the sex appeal of SOBE, just the perfect balance. An intimate, serene oceanfront resort in the heart of South Beach.

The Mark Restaurant by Jean George

Dec 23 2011
Filed In: New York, Restaurants

The Mark Restaurant by Jean George | New York, United States | back in New York City, and back to the amazing restaurants that this city have to offer both for lunch or dinner. In this case, how can anything go wrong when you combine an international awarded chef like Jean George, the masterful style and design of Jacques Grange and the operation by Leading Hotel of the World member The Mark. Invited by Angel Mejia Sales Manager, I came to try the restaurant and have a quick glimpse of the hotel, where I will be staying soon sometime in January to review their offer in full.
