Radisson Blu Plaza Oslo Review

Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Oslo Good location, and a dirty cloth Stayed Jan 2016 Published Apr 2016 After a great visit of Amsterdam and seeing the many attractions including the canals, museums and the buildings, I stopped in Oslo for the weekend before heading to Reykjavik. The biggest reason I wanted to visit Oslo was...

Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam Review

Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam: Lukewarm feelings More Hits than Misses, but one expects more Visited Jan 2016 Published Apr 2016 After great stays at Intercontinental Amstel and the Andaz, and not-so-great W Amsterdam, I arrived at the last and most expensive hotel of this trip to Amsterdam for one night. This also meant I had...

Hotel Review: Andaz Amsterdam

Andaz Amsterdam: Deserves an A and no less Smooth from the Start to the End Visited Jan 2016 Published Apr 2016 Entrance After the elegant (and missing George Clooney) Intercontinental Amstel, my next hotel was the Andaz which I was keen to try as a new Hyatt Diamond member.

Unfortunately (again), when I was considering...

Trip Report: Conrad Koh Samui

The Conrad Koh Samui is one of those rare confluences of myth and legend. As one of the crown jewels in the Hilton global portfolio, through-the-roof levels of hype on Flyertalk and rates upwards of $1,000 a night, it's an understatement to say I was ridiculously excited to have...

Trip Report: The Vana Belle Koh Samui

I'm sure the definition of "aspirational" differs among people, but I'd definitely consider the Vana Belle to be one of SPG's aspirational properties. In my book, any property that offers a private pool with any room surely can't be that bad The Vana Belle, together with 6 other of SPG's...

W Bangkok Review

W Bangkok Impressed by the breakfast! And the great Thai service quality  Visited October 2015  Bangkok is definitely a popular destination for many Singaporeans as well as foreigners around the world. Having been to Bangkok many times, and stayed in many different hotels, I have not typed a review for some of them. Remarkably,...
