When traveling with kids through the beautiful Sonoma Valley, you need to stay somewhere close to soak it all in. You also need somewhere that feels like home, I found that with The Best Western Sonoma Valley Inn. In the heart of Sonoma sits this fantastic hotel with so much to offer families, solo travelers and even the lucky business travelers passing through.  Apart from the super spacious rooms (that even have a fireplace), you can count on a hot breakfast, fabulous pool, free laundry facilities, warm inviting communal spaces, and more!

Planning a trip to London can be both exciting and completely overwhelming. Where do you go? What will you see? But more importantly, where will you stay? The most obvious choice might be to find a hotel near attractions; you might be surprised to find out, though; that it isn’t your only option.

We travel to new places to see attractions, meet interesting people, and have experiences that haven’t been done before. When staying at a hotel, you really only meet other guests that are just like you. I believe living like a local gives you a real view of the city you are in and everything it holds for you. My recent stay with Marlin Apartments in London gave me the ultimate experience of local life, food, and culture.

When staying in Vegas most travelers only think about “on strip” lodging, but it’s a huge mistake to limit yourself. There are probably more options than you realize “off strip” and there are some truly amazing resorts; case in point is The Red Rock Casino & Resort. Not only does The Red Rock Casino & Resort have so much more to offer you, but you also can skip all the other tourists and crowds. I have found that with most places you travel to, the locals know best, and Vegas and The Red Rock Casino & Resort is no exception as it’s where the locals come to play. For me the keyword is “Resort”, which for me means more amenities and more fun. After the holiday craziness I know I could definitely use some amenities and fun - how about you?

I love hotels with a theme, a niche, that something extra special. I’m a sucker for “cute” or “unique”, but I like it done in a classy way. I don’t want cheesy Disneyland theming; I can get that directly from Disney. I want something I can be proud of showing off to my friends and sharing the uniqueness with them. It’s not easy though to find a hotel that meets those standards. That’s why I was floored when I came across the Library Hotel Collection.

I’ve heard the saying since I was a child; it’s all in the details. Until I became an adult I didn’t truly understand what that meant—and until my recent stay at The Langham Place Hotel in NYC I hadn’t seen it put to action so well. When staying at a five-star hotel you get accustomed to the perks and know what to expect, so when you go to another five star hotel and they surpass those perks and expectations I am impressed—Langham Place NYC did just that.
