One of the More Preferred New Orleans Hotels

The Royal Sonesta Hotel in New Orleans, LA is located in the French Quarter and has a historically French design to match. Gabled windows, French doors, and a gorgeous courtyard all make this aesthetically beautiful hotel a favorite for many travelers. I read several reviews online that were written by previous customers and almost all of them had great things to say. One review even mentioned how the structure of this hotel was able to prevent city noise from entering the rooms of the guests during Mardi Gras. Most of the other reviews mentioned the hotel's excellent customer service and amenities.

The nice part about this 4-star hotel is that it is also rather affordable. Currently, an overnight stay will cost you $109, which is excellent considering where it is located. Guests are very close to many of the city’s shops, restaurants and attractions. Another feature of the Royal Sonesta that not all New Orleans hotels have is an underground parking garage that makes city street parking obsolete. New Orleans is known for having very little public parking, and having an underground garage at the hotel can make things very convenient. The next time that you are planning on traveling to this beautiful city, especially during Mardi Gras, I suggest that you reserve a few nights at the Royal Sonesta.

Current Rates For the Hotel Del Coronado

Especially for those of us that are located in desert areas, now is the perfect time to go visit San Diego and the beautiful peninsula of Coronado. Because I am interested in going there myself, I had to check out some of the current rates that are available at the Hotel Del Coronado. Since the first weekend in May has no availability, I performed a search for the nights of Friday, May 9th and Saturday, May 10th. For the beautiful Junior Suite, I was given a price of $340. Although this price was given for the two-night stay, I am going to assume that this is a nightly rate and that the total cost would be $680.

I was also given a price for a room that is a little bit smaller than the Junior Suite, but has a partial ocean view. This room had a rate of $300, and this suite actually looks as though it is more ideal for couples to stay in. There are plenty of other rooms available for this same weekend, which are king-size bedrooms without ocean views. For more information, visit hoteldel.com and keep in mind that they have many days in the summer that are already completely booked.

SBE Hotel Group is Proud to Present SLS

SBE Hotel Group, which is known for the beautiful Miami Ritz Plaza and the Sahara Hotel & Casino, is proud to announce that they will now be adding SLS hotels to their excellent portfolio. SLS is basically going to be a branch of SBE that plans to have hotels in the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean. SLS Los Angeles is going to be the new name for the soon-to-be renovated Le Meridien at Beverly Hills, and it is the first hotel to come from this exciting, new branch.

SLS appears to be another way for SBE to market themselves, and I think that it is a great idea. SBE Hotel Group is part of SBE Entertainment, and by creating a separate name that is strictly in the hotel business they can continue to keep their image fresh. You can expect that these new hotels will be luxurious, satisfying and very expensive.

One of My Favorite Key West Hotels

Marquesa is a gorgeous little hotel located in the heart of the historic district. The way that this establishment is set up is very unique, with four separate structures surrounding an area with 2 pools and a garden. This award-winning hotel is a perfect place for couples that want to have a relaxing vacation with beautiful surroundings. Not to mention, how many Key West hotels will serve you breakfast in their very own garden?

You can visit marquesa.com for information and photos of this wonderful hotel, or you can just pay it a visit to see for yourself. One of the things that I like about Marquesa is that it does not have the outside look of a traditional hotel. This place looks more like a bed and breakfast, although once you get inside you will see that it is much larger. Their rates are a little steep, however, with poolside rooms currently costing 290 dollars per night. If you want to stay somewhere that is quite unique then I suggest that you check out Marquesa.

Aviara - One of the many 5-Star San Diego Hotels

Four Seasons is certainly known for their high-quality resorts and lodging facilities that travelers have grown to love over the years, and there is no doubt that they have a handful of resorts that are especially known for their luxurious qualities. In Southern California, Aviara is one of the many San Diego Hotels that happens to be classified as a "5-Star Resort." If you are a traveler or vacationer with a big bankroll, then I suggest that you inquire about staying at this gorgeous resort. Even if you are traveling alone, Aviara will leave a lasting impression on you for years to come.

With rooms starting at 385 dollars per night, this luxury inn has guest services that will make you never want to leave. I personally like this resort because it caters to individuals that like to stay active and physically fit. In addition to having a fitness center that is over 1,500 square feet in size, guests can play volleyball, croquet, and tennis. Their golf course is also beautiful in more ways than one, and there are even some recreational options for the younger guests. Your kids will feel like royalty when playing pinball, arcade games and pool in an exclusive game room. Child guests can also take advantage of complimentary milk and cookies before bedtime, as well as child-size bathrobes.

The scenery at Aviara cannot be adequately described with words, and the only way to really see what this place is like is to spend a few days at it. However, in the meantime you can view some photographs of the property by visiting www.fourseasons.com/aviara. Do not forget about this gorgeous resort the next time that you are planning a trip to San Diego.

Looking for a Barcelona Hotel?

I have not personally traveled to the beautiful city of Barcelona, but I have heard that it has become a popular attraction for college students around the world. Many students will travel to Spain in order to study abroad, while others will do so to broaden their horizons and experience an unfamiliar culture. We all know that an international flight costs nearly a fortune, and a 2-week stay at a Barcelona hotel certainly is not cheap in itself. With the way that the U.S. economy is going, and the unfortunate drop the dollar has taken, students are now looking for more affordable ways to travel to this gorgeous city.

I have heard many young adults mention that they were able to save money on their Barcelona vacation by staying at a hostel. Hostels tend to have large rooms that put up several people at a time, and this is the reason why they are so affordable. I will admit that it is not the most luxurious place to stay at, and some might even say that it can be dangerous, but it is not uncommon for college students to spend several nights at these establishments. If safety is your concern, then I suggest traveling with a large group. You can also contact your university or college to learn about other students that will be traveling the same time that you are, and you can try to make arrangements to stay with them. For more information, I would suggest either speaking to a study abroad associate at your school or you can try visiting hostels.com.

Myrtle Beach Hotels for the Family

The next time that you are thinking about taking a family vacation to the Grand Strand then be sure to choose wisely when arranging your hotel accommodations. There are a couple of great resorts that I am going to recommend to you, and they are certainly within most people's price ranges. The first of the two Myrtle Beach hotels that I am going to mention is the Compass Cove Oceanfront Resort. This popular hotel has 530 rooms, and 720 feet of beachfront property. The reason that I think Compass Cove is great for families is due to their large list of amenities. Visitors can take advantage of a fitness room, several adult pools, six kiddie pools, shuffleboard courts, lazy rivers, saunas, jacuzzis, lounges, an arcade, wireless Internet and a whole lot more. If you visit their official website at compasscove.com, you can check out a huge list of specials that are available right now.

The other family resort in Myrtle Beach that looks like a winner is the Sea Mist Oceanfront Resort. Their website has a great list of things for the whole family to enjoy including magic shows, family karaoke, pirate adventures, pizza nights, jungle adventure beach blasts and much more. In terms of fun for the children, I would say that Sea Mist sounds like one of the best choices.

One of My Favorite Radisson Hotels

Among the many Radisson Hotels that exist in the United States, there are certainly a few that stand out among the rest. One of these, which happens to be a personal favorite of mine, is the Radisson Hotel in King of Prussia, PA. This hotel is also known as the Radisson Hotel Valley Forge, and it is a great place for business travelers who are in town for one of the many events that are held at the Valley Forge Convention Center. This Radisson is also known for its large rooms and excellent service, and to top it off their rates are pretty affordable as well.

To learn more about the Radisson Hotel Valley Forge you can visit radisson.com/kingofprussiapa. It is here that you can check for available rooms and rates in the event that you will be staying in King of Prussia sometime this year. The Radisson website claims that they offer the best online rates, and they guarantee this as well. Also, while you are visiting the website I suggest that you take a look at their Goldpoints Plus Program, especially if you stay at Radisson Hotels on a regular basis.

So Many Hotel Booking Websites - Which One to Choose?

Sometimes I feel that the Internet can be overwhelming, especially when I'm trying to purchase something. There is a countless amount of hotel booking websites available today and sometimes it is difficult to determine which ones are worth using. I recently checked out www.hotelreservations.com and I quickly learned how it worked. Hotel Reservations is a website that will search the Internet for you and find all of the best nightly rates for various hotels. Of course, the advantage to this is the fact that you only have to go to one website to find fairly good prices.

To get an idea of how well this website worked, I did a search for hotels in the Miami area. As I flipped through the pages of results, I noticed that the website continued to periodically search for more and more results. Before I knew it, I had more choices for hotels in Miami than I even needed. I also was able to sort these hotels out by price range, which helped me narrow down my search. If you want to avoid digging through the Internet to find hotel booking options then I suggest that you visit this website and see what you can come up with.
