Review: Hyatt Regency Mainz
There is no Hyatt I stay at more than this hotel. Over the years, I have come to consider this hotel a second home and the staff part of my extended German family. It’s not the best Hyatt, but...

Review: Hyatt Regency Dusseldorf
Dusseldorf is a perfect city for a long weekend trip. The three days spent in this charming capital of North Rhine-Westphalia were marvelous. They were also comfortable, thanks to the Hyatt Regency Dusseldorf, now one of my favorite Hyatts in...
My Park Hyatt St. Kitts Dilemma…
The Park Hyatt St. Kitts is offering an incredible deal right now. It is also a resort I’ve talked about visiting for more than a year. Yet I’m struggling over whether to book it. At around $255 night with...
Review: Hyatt Regency Cologne
The Hyatt Regency in Cologne (Köln) Germany was one of the most disappointing Hyatts I have ever stayed in. Oh, it wasn’t without many redeeming qualities, but the hotel (or my room at least) is in desperate need of...

Review: Park Hyatt Tokyo
It has been seven years since I last stayed at the Park Hyatt Tokyo and thus I looked forward to refreshing my previous review. I hate to be anticlimactic, but very little has changed. It’s still a great hotel....

Good evening from LA. For the first time in weeks, it appears I will not set foot on a plane this week. I’m looking forward to it. Honestly. Last week, the Gulf Carriers “kissed and made up” with their...
Review: Grand Hyatt Denver Suite and Valet Trouble
During a stay at the Grand Hyatt Denver we got a chance to try the parlor suite and enjoy the pool. But this great property is let down by the overpriced valet that under delivers. If you are considering...

Review: Andaz Singapore
Two nights at the Andaz Singapore was not enough…what a great new hotel in Singapore. The hotel is located on 5 Fraser Street, about 20 minutes from the airport. It’s a new building that looks old, adjacent to a...

In my final post from our last-minute trip to Cartagena, Colombia, my four-year-old daughter and I had the chance to try the Aqoral Spa at the Hyatt Regency Cartagena. It was better than expected for both mommy and daughter. ...
Andaz Singapore + Trapped in Changi Airport + Lost Apple Watch
I don’t generally like wrist watches, but have grown to love my Apple Watch. Yesterday I nearly lost it, then nearly lost it again. I left my Apple Watch in the pocket of my robe at the Andaz Singapore....
Review: Hyatt Regency Paris Charles de Gaulle
I enjoyed my night at the Hyatt Regency Paris CDG Airport, a full-service hotel with comfortable rooms. Instead of paying nearly 400EUR for a second night at the Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile, I moved to the Hyatt Regency Charles...
Review: Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile
I would have been happy to stay another night at the Park Hyatt Paris, but no vacancy forced me to move over to the Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile across town. This 995-room hotel was transformed over the last two...
