The London Dungeon
posted by Texas on 1 June 2009 at 20:00
It's a tour through the torture history of London. It's like a museum walk through tour where you walk by exhibits of torture methods used over history. It's a fun tour and it's a little creepy, but it was my favorite thing I did on my first trip to London.

JW Marriott Hotel
posted by kring on 1 June 2009 at 19:50
One of the most luxurious hotels in the world. My dad works for Marriott and was largely involved in Marriott's operations in the Middle East. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit Dubai. The city is absolutely amazing and is very cool. The hotel itself was like none of the other Marriott's I've ever stayed at. It has two amazing restaurants: the Bamboo Lagoon and the Hofbrauhaus. The Bamboo Lagoon has southwestern Asian cuisine and has a setting that makes you feel like you're in the tropical jungle. The Hofbrauhaus was very comforting for us being so far away from the western culture, it is made in style of a Bavarian restaurant. Since we lived in Germany for 7 years, it was like a home away from home, with a full menu of Bavarian cuisine and a great beer selection. This hotel also has a roof top pool which is a great way to spend the day relaxing in the sun.

Guinness Storehouse
posted by Texas on 31 May 2009 at 18:46
The home of the worlds most popular stout. Irish stout is by far my favorite style of beer and naturally during my visit in Ireland I had to visit this place. It's in a great location, which is only a short walk from the city center. It was a great tour, because I got to learn the history of Irish stout and learn about the brewing process. Although I usually don't drink Guinness, I enjoyed having a pint right there at the factory. After drinking Guinness there, I no longer will drink Guinness in the US.

Athens Ledra Marriott Hotel
posted by Texas on 31 May 2009 at 18:08
This is one of the Marriott Hotels found in downtown Athens. I've stayed here during all of my stays in the city and it is a great hotel. Greece and Athens are my by far one of my most favorite places to visit. This hotel features great dinning and a luxurious lobby with affordable rates. The highlight of the hotel is the roof top pool which boast a view of the city and even has a beautiful view of the Acropolis. It is great for spending a relaxing day at the pool with full service food available all day. The most ideal setting to visit the roof top is at sunset to view the Acropolis as it lights up and have cocktails at the full service bar. It is also a great location for a wedding or any banquet; the hotel has plenty of packages to pick from.

Al Diwan

A very nice Lebanese restaurant that focuses on top notch food at reasonable prices. My father works for Marriott Hotels and he is very good friends with the GM of the Marriott on Champs Elysees. He took us here during one of our visits, he is of Arab decent and this is his personal recommendation. Coming from a Lebanese background, this place was very comforting with a menu that contained all the traditional foods, I grew up with. It's an excellent place to go during the day if you're looking for a place to have lunch. They serve fresh hummus and pita, free of charge (like at a Mexican Restaurant with chips and salsa). They also make great Arabic coffee which can also be accompanied by some of their home made desserts. Another great thing about this place, is the location. It's only a few blocks from the Champs Elysees.
