The Stendhal Place Vendôme has a tiny little entrance, which could easily be missed. The lobby, restaurant and rooms follow the same size standard as the entrance, everything is very small, or tiny rather, yet most beguiling. Do book a suite if you think you may need more space. The location is simply perfect, you will be steps away from the famous Place Vendôme, as… Read more »

What we liked the most about staying at the Pillows was that it was located in the charming and quiet Rouppe Square. This area is a good respite from the buzz of the city center around Grand Place, yet only a ten minute walk away from most of the city’s main attractions. The hotel is modern and very comfortable, with design touches and unique details… Read more »

This charming historic landmark, which was once a former ambassador’s home among other illustrious inhabitants, is just blocks away from the Grand Place and right by the imposing covered galleries of De la Reine and Saint Hubert. The small hotel has likeable common areas on ground floor, that somehow make you feel like you are in your own home’s living room. A tiny patio with… Read more »

This old style property could be a little more charming, but the location is excellent and the rates are one of the most favorable cost versus benefit choices in central Brussels. The Warwick has a traditional style with classic wooden furnishings, but recent renovations brought comforts to its facilities, like central air conditioning and more modern equipment and amenities, which the staff really emphasized to… Read more »

Located in the heart of the city, the Amigo is probably one of the best hotels in town, a stone’s throw from the Grand Place and from where you will be able to walk to most of the city’s main attractions and great restaurants, cafes and bars. Delightful Sablon district and its museums are just a fifteen minute walk away. This upscale hotel is very… Read more »

The Orange’s goal is to make you feel at home, and you will certainly feel that way when staying in one of its four rooms. The location is very convenient in residential Belgravia. Often overlooked in favor of other more famous London neighborhoods, we recommend you give this area a try and make the most of this residential appeal. The Orange also happens to be… Read more »

This charming boutique hotel is ideal if you like the home-away-from-home feeling. Named one of London´s coziest hotels, this lovely townhouse property has only twelve rooms, and the impeccably friendly hotel staff are welcoming and obliging at all times. It is located right at the heart of affluent Knightsbridge, near the famous Harrods store and Sloane Street, with its many restaurants, cafes, retail and high… Read more »

Our springtime visit to this typical Kensington architecture property was made even prettier by the wonderful flowers adorning its entrance. The Kensington Hotel is located just blocks away from the tube station, very convenient to explore the whole city of London.

A typical 18th Century British building houses The Gore, a property that has been renovated and offers all amenities a traveler could expect. Located in South Kensington, just blocks away from the Natural History Museum and a seven minute walk to subway stations, its location is ideal to explore the city, especially considering that this part of town offers more reasonable hotel rates. The Gore’s… Read more »

The Fraser is well located in Kensington, just one block away from the Natural History Museum and near tube stations, ideal to explore the whole of the city of London. It is a very functional and efficient “condo style” hotel, with a breakfast room and bar, even though we believe in the neighborhood you will find better options for drinks and meals. The hotel is… Read more »

The Grand Beach Surfside hotel is located next to the iconic Bal Harbour Shops (try Carpaccio restaurant) in an upscale neighborhood. We believe this beachfront 4 star hotel to be one of the best cost x benefit options in expensive Miami Beach. We really enjoyed the very modern, bright and airy property, with pools by the beach and a rooftop one from where you can… Read more »

The Rosa Salva is one of the best 3-star hotels in town, and we would actually rate it a “3-star premium”. If you are staying in Venice for a short period of time and willing to stay close to the main attractions of the city, the location of this property is perfect, a 5- minute walk to St Mark or the Rialto. The hotel has… Read more »
