Mandarin Oriental Munich

Just spent a couple nights at Mandarin Oriental in Munich. Wow what a great hotel! It couldn’t be in a better location. It’s only minutes to the hustle and bustle of the main square, but you would never know it because the hotel is so relaxing and peaceful. The hotel is decorated very classical with cool tones. The staff was so wonderful. The maids even set out a beautiful bookmark next to the bedside table on top of the book I was reading. What a nice personal touch. The rooms are really spacious even from US standards. I noticed all the guests really getting the VIP treatment, not just myself. Again a really wonderful stay and would highly recommend this hotel, even for a group with the highest standards!

Guten Tag or Hello From Germany!

Stayed the weekend at Rocco Forte Villa Kennedy in Frankfurt. Wow what a fantastic hotel! The staff has been amazing and really giving us the five star treatment. The most unique thing I noticed are the heated floors in the bathroom, what a wonderful touch. The perfect way to describe the decor is simple elegance, everything is just right not overstated or understated. A portion of the hotel is 100+ years old. It was previously a manor belonging to a wealthy Jewish family that fled before the war. It has been marvelously restored and the new edition blends perfectly with the historical portion of the hotel. 

Frankfurt is a very modern city but still embraces its history. The riverfront area can't be beat for long walks. The local apple wine is really tasty, but like the German beer, its very strong.  

Cheers,
Kelly

The Fabulous Scottsdale Fairmont Princess

Our team was on site this weekend at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. The resort is beautiful and the hotel staff was amazing. We had lots of last minute changes and every time we asked for assistance, they happily helped with a smile on their face. They continually went above and beyond for our group and made us look successful!

A million thanks to their team!
