Review: InterContinental Almaty
As my travails at Almaty International Airport demonstrate, Kazakhstan is not a destination for the faint of heart. But that should not keep you away. The bustling markets, unique architecture, and glistening monuments make Almaty a city that should...

Stepping out of the bustling Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and onto a small side street nestled away in the thriving heart of Milan, I spied the Park Hyatt sign. A bellman stood outside the door and welcomed me as I...
Review: Hyatt at the Bellevue (formerly Park Hyatt Philadelphia)
I love historic hotels and the Hyatt at the Bellevue in Philadelphia certainly has a storied history. From its beginning, the Bellevue-Stratford was the center of Philadelphia’s cultural, social and business activities. It soon functioned as a sort...
Review: Park Hyatt Washington D.C.
Business brought me down to Washington, DC and rather than staying at the Willard InterContinental, my usual hotel of choice in the District, I opted to try out the Park Hyatt. My first meeting was at noon so I...

Below is a brief review of my recent stay at the Hyatt Regency in Montreal. Its brevity can be explained: about the only thing I did at the hotel was sleep. I arrived in Montreal on an early morning...
Review: Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego
I have stayed at the Manchester over a dozen times the last decade (dating back to its single tower days) and have experienced a recurring pattern: I will love ceratin aspects of the stay while other aspects leave me wondering why I always choose...
