If you are looking for an edgy, sophisticated, and European feel yet don’t want to fly far to get it, consider Montreal as the perfect long weekend getaway. And if you like your hotels to be just as edgy as the city then choose the newly redesigned Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth.

Twenty-four years since my last stay at a truly timeless hotel, but what stood out in my memory was the rich history of an iconic hotel, the stylish guest rooms, great location, and personalized butler service, all still valid today.

It always warms my heart to spot a special and unexpected Virtuoso amenity waiting for me in my room on arrival.

When Fairmont opened the largest hotel in Austin, in fact Fairmont’s largest hotel in the U.S., I just had to head north from San Antonio to check it out myself.

A quick stopover in Singapore before boarding Seabourn Encore sailing to Sydney was pretty close to perfect at the Mandarin Oriental, Singapore.

I travel the world over, but I have to say that one of my most satisfying and relaxing vacations this year was at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando. Imagine a 5-star resort where you can actually feel relaxed in the middle of theme park craziness.

Wrapping up a 24-day cruise on Seabourn Encore, on my final stop in Sydney I had the chance to experience one of their best hotels, The Langham.

If you are looking for the true essence of Bali, Four Seasons Resort at Sayan is one-stop shopping.
