And the Best Boutique Hotel In St. Pete Is…
The Birchwood is the best hotel in St. Pete and our first choice when staying downtown. It has just 18 rooms, all of them spacious and tastefully designed with claw-footed tubs. No frills here: no gym, no pool, but a first-rate restaurant in the lobby — Birch & Vine — and a weekend hotspot of a rooftop barContinue reading “And the Best Boutique Hotel In St. Pete Is…”

Monday through Thursday, it’s relatively calm, and a favoriteContinue reading “Hidden in Plain Sight: A New LA Favorite”
The CheckOut: Hotel Sans Souci Wien in Vienna
Top/Bottom Line: Relatively new on the scene, the Hotel Sans Souci Wien combines modern sophistication with a refreshing touch of whimsy, from the yoo Studio-designed furnishings in shades of cream and purple to the clever, oversized Vienna-set selfies by Austrian skier-turned-art photographer Hubertus von Hohenlohe that adorn the lobby and many rooms.

One of the Coolest Restaurants in the West (…and it’s not in LA!)
The Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails is located inside the Hotel Palomar in downtown Phoenix and is the city’s newest and, we think, best restaurant to come along in some time. This modern space is gorgeously designed and would not feel out of place in New York or San Francisco. This is big city dining atContinue reading “One of the Coolest Restaurants in the West (…and it’s not in LA!)”
Where We Sleep: Stumbling Upon London’s Coolest Hotel
This is 40 Winks, a non-conventional hotel (if you can even call it that…) in hip East London that has none of the homogeneity of amenities of a normal accommodation, and all of the wildcard style that makes it on of our favorite hidden gems. The hotel is just two rooms (and one large, shared bathroom) ofContinue reading “Where We Sleep: Stumbling Upon London’s Coolest Hotel”
Good Morning, Bangkok
It’s going to be a hectic few days for me as I traverse Thailand, from Bangkok to Chiang Mai to Phuket to Koh Phi Phi. Here’s a photo of the stunning view from the rooftop of the Sofitel So Bangkok hotel overlooking the verdurous treetops and epic skyline just beyond. If you have any Thailand photos or stories fromContinue reading “Good Morning, Bangkok”

Correspondent Update: New and Improved Sheraton Times Square
The Times Square Sheraton may boast the best uptown location of any major hotel, and we love that it’s walking distance to Hell’s Kitchen, perfect for gays looking to party it up in Manhattan’s new gay mecca without having to worry about cab fare.
