When I just visited London with my wife, we stayed at the Millennium Bailey’s Hotel in South Kensington. It is very conveniently located, with a tube station just across the road, and lots of little pubs and restaurants nearby. The rooms were small, as are most European rooms, but it was nice that they had a 110 V outlet in our room.

The last time I visited Las Vegas, I exchanged with my time share in order to stay at the Hilton Grand Vacations Club at the Flamingo Hilton. It is a great all suite hotel, located right on the strip, that allows its guest the full amenities of the Flamingo Resort. There is a great pool, and a very friendly staff, and our one bedroom suite was very luxurious.

When I was staying in Rome for two nights before my last cruise, I was lucky enough to have booked the Intercontinental de la Ville. Even though we arrived late (around midnight) the concierge was able to recommend a nearby restaurant that was still open and serving dinner, and the front desk gave us a complimentary upgrade on our room. The staff was all incredibly friendly, and the location at the top of the Spanish Steps was perfect.

The last time I flew into Miami, it was only for one night, as it was the cheapest airfare into Florida over the President’s Week Holiday. The flight got in late so I knew I would want to stay at an airport hotel, and being an avid Holiday Inn fan, this seemed a good choice. While the cost was a bit high, it was a great facility, with a clean room, and a friendly staff, even though we got in late. They also gave us a welcome kit, with free drink coupons for the bar upstairs.

When I travel to Geneva, I try to stay at the Hotel Montbrillant. It is considered a luxury hotel property and is very nice, although the rooms that they reserve for business travelers are a bit on the small side compared to what Americans are used to. Still, they have all the amenities you need for a business stay, including wireless Internet service and an array of assistance if you need to send faxes or require a copy machine. They also have LCD flat panel TVs, which is a nice touch. I've also had the occasion to upgrade to what they consider their "superior" rooms, which include kitchenettes. They are also small and cozy, but perfectly adequate for business or even casual stays. There is an on-site wellness center and restaurants, so everything you need is at your fingertips. The Hotel Montbrillant is a solid place to stay that has always been hospitable and gracious to me as a guest.
