United Polaris Lounge – the best of United Business Class?
The last couple of years I’ve been regularly flying United Polaris Business Class. Obviously taking a seat in Business Class is always a joy, certainly compared with a seat in the back of the plane. The Polaris business class is by no means a bad product but for me, it’s certainly not the best. The…

Park Hyatt Chicago Review – the flagship Park Hyatt!
Last summer, I visited the Park Hyatt Chicago. The Park Hyatt Chicago was the first hotel of the ‘Park Hyatt’ brand and opened back in 1980.

The Bellagio Las Vegas – la più bella?
When you enter the lobby of the Bellagio hotel with its spectacular glass sculpture, it’s hard to believe that the Bellagio Las Vegas opened more than 25 years ago. The hotel still attracts thousands of tourists trying to get a glimpse of the lobby and conservatory, and it’s still one of the most popular hotels…

Grand Hyatt SFO; the best airport hotel?
Historically airport hotels, especially the ones in the US, weren’t the most luxurious hotels to stay. In fact, they were quite tacky.
