Hotel Check IN at The OKURA Prestige Bangkok

Mar 27 2013
Filed In: Bangkok, Carlos Melia, FeaturedSlider, Hotel Check IN, Hotels, Hotels I am Obsessed with, Thailand

Our Suite is the perfect size for an urban apartment, with all the amenities and services to enjoy Bangkok in full. Literally, both Rubin and I, feel that now, we have arrived to Bangkok. The Okura Prestige allows you to discover and enjoy the City of Angels, in full sophistication, while only steps away from your true urban experience, and that to me, is the way to enjoy Bangkok.

Marriott Grande Vista Resort in Orlando

Nov 06 2012
Filed In: FeaturedSlider, Florida, Hotels, Orlando, United States

In the magical heart of Orlando is Marriott’s Grande Vista, offering spacious villas and guestrooms just minutes from Orlando’s most famous attractions I have been for the last 3 nights at the Marriott Grande Vista Resort in Orlando. I came to visit my family, who have a global timeshare and every time we come to the area of Florida, it is with Marriott properties.

NapCabs at Munich International Airport

Oct 25 2012
Filed In: Amenities, Europe, Favorites, FeaturedSlider, Germany, Hotels, Press Releases, Travel in Style

One of the best travel ideas I have seen in years, which I hope will extend globally. How about your own room/cabin right next to your flight boarding gate. Comfort and privacy for passengers inside airport terminals Making the stay at the airport more pleasant an comfortable is the idea behind NapCabs. Rent by the hour (EUR 10) and pay as you go, for a minimum of 3 hours and a maximum of 12.

81 L’Hotel Deauville

Oct 11 2012
Filed In: Deauville, Europe, FeaturedSlider, France, Hotel

Boutique small hotel located in the town of Deauville, just a few blocks away from the beach promenade, restaurants and the fish market. Contemporary colorful design respecting the true styles and architecture of a traditional Normand house.

Hotel Check IN Nobis Hotel Stockholm

Oct 10 2012
Filed In: Carlos Melia, Europe, FeaturedSlider, Featuredtravelvideo2, Hotel, Hotel Check IN, Stockholm, Sweden

Just arrived tonight to Stockholm in Sweden and this time I checked IN at the Nobis Hotel by Design Hotels. Been here for less than two hours. Walked around the property and it looks quite interesting. See the video of my room and some photos that I did as I was exploring the property. Nobis Hotel is an independent, 201-room first class, luxury hotel in Stockholm, Sweden occupying a prime spot on Norrmalmstorg square, the single most central and attractive location in the downtown area.

Hotel Check IN at La Ferme Saint Simeon

Oct 08 2012
Filed In: Carlos Melia, Deauville, FeaturedSlider, France, Hotel, Hotel Check IN

Tonight very late I checked in at La Ferme Saint Simeon five stars hotel, by Relais & Chateaux in Honfleur, approximately 15 minutes from Deauville. Was not able to see much, since I arrived very late and it was dark already. So more upon check OUT. So far I can show you the video of the room and the main room of the restaurant.

Hotel Check IN Le Negresco Hotel

Sep 28 2012
Filed In: Carlos Melia, Europe, FeaturedSlider, France, Hotel Check IN, Nice

Today after a fabulous stay in St Tropez for two days, I returned to Nice, which in many way is a smaller version of Paris. Same as two days ago, I checked IN at the lovely and chic, but veryyyyy eclectic Le Negresco Hotel. An institution in the city, known unanimously to be the best hotel in town, and I fully second that. I was here 4 days ago, when I got this stunning Suite overlooking the Promenade de Anglais, and the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This rooms have been renovated and modernized with some pop touches.

Hotel Check IN at Hotel Saint Amour la Tartane

Sep 27 2012
Filed In: Carlos Melia, Europe, FeaturedSlider, Featuredtravelvideo3, France, Hotel Check IN, St Tropez

Approximately 10 minutes from Saint Tropes Port, is Hotel Saint Amour la Tartane, on the Route to Plages de Salins. A lovely villa based concept hotel, on a classic Provence style. 28 Suites and Villas settled around a clear blue swimming pool (which I wish would be heated to jump in right now). Definitely a complete Saint Tropez experience compared to my previous stay at Rue Gambetta close to the port. Tonight dinner at their Asian restaurant. Now off to Plage Pampelonne and Le Club 55 for Lunch. More to come upon check out. CM @ Carlos Melia Recommends
