The Newest Hotel Trend

Who doesn’t enjoy a two-for-one special? The newest trend in the hotel industry is all about twofers, only most of the money saving is taking place on the property’s end, while travelers look to save more time than dough.

According to hotel industry insiders, by having two hotels on the same lot chains not only save on construction and operational costs by combining amenities such as the pool … Continue reading →

Paris Plans to Wed

Here we go again… I’ll say this for Paris Hilton, she might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but she certainly gets props for possessing sheer determination when it comes to finding… a husband. She’s been in love before. In fact, she’s even been officially engaged to someone who could actually afford to keep her happy. Unfortunately, true love has evaded the poor little rich girl–until now. According to the highlighted blonde drama queen, she has found the man she plans to marry (I know, I know, you’ve heard this before, but stick with me). Hilton recently revealed … Continue reading →

Hotels and Daylight Savings

Tomorrow is my favorite day of the year. No kidding. It’s not my birthday. It’s not my anniversary. It’s not the day I gave birth to my first child. It is the day we set our clocks back an hour, which means I get an extra hour of sleep. And, that (at least to me) is a gift you can’t put a price tag on. Think about it; how many times during the course of a year do we wish out loud for more time? Tomorrow is the day most of us are granted an extra 60 minutes. Free time—literally. … Continue reading →

The Evolution of the Concierge

When was the last time you used the services of a hotel concierge? (Perhaps, a better question is: Have you ever used the service of a concierge?) I can count on one hand the amount of times I have asked for assistance from a concierge. But, that number also reflects the amount of times I have stayed in an establishment that offered the service. These days with technology driving virtually all aspects of the travel industry it’s no surprise that hotels are now revolutionizing their concierge operations. Luxury properties around the world are upgrading concierge services and training staff members … Continue reading →

Paris Postscript

Well, you didn’t expect her to go on Larry King looking like she just spent 23 in jail did you? Oh wait. That is the reason Paris Hilton is appearing on the CNN show tonight. It’s been more than 24 hours since the hotel heiress strutted out of the Century Regional Detention Facility wearing tight jeans and $300 stilettos. Twenty-four hours later and any hope that the party princess had a major ego adjustment as a result of her time behind bars seems to be fading. The first sign that the celebutante’s stay in the slammer hasn’t readjusted her priorities—the … Continue reading →

A “Hilton Hotel” With A Twist

Most people know her simply as Paris’s sister. Perhaps, that’s one of the reasons Nicky Hilton is launching a new business venture that will be named after herself: “Nicky O” Hotels. Yes, it’s true. The Hilton heiress is getting into the hotel business. But, as you can tell by the name, she will not be following in her family’s footsteps. Rather, her venture will focus on creating hip hotels for the fashionably aware. The 22-year-old, self-professed fashionista plans to put her own touch on two existing buildings on Miami’s famed Ocean Boulevard to create the “Nicky O” Hotel, set to … Continue reading →
