Informerà gli  ospiti sulle aree di Londra che utilizzano tecnologie “verdi”, riserverà  eco-ristoranti e bar, indicherà i negozi e le architetture, agli appuntamenti a  tema ed i dettagli di tutte le iniziative del Gruppo Fairmont.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Oltre £2.4 milioni sono stati investiti nella tecnologia per il rispetto  dell'ambiente, come il riciclo e purificazione dell'acqua, il recupero dell'olio  delle cucine da trasformare in biodisel, un sistema di controllo a risparmio  energetico in funzione 24 ore su 24, l’utilizzo della naturale ventilazione per  regolare i sistemi di areazione delle suite, le luci a basso consumo energetico,  il riciclo del 90% dei rifiuti dell'hotel, l'utilizzo di mezzi di trasporto  ibridi e lo stretto contatto con le associazioni di beneficenza per il riciclo  di candele, francobolli e computer. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Tutto è stato studiato e realizzato per far si che gli ospiti possano trovare  il soggiorno più lussuoso e confortevole, con la coscienza di vivere anche nel  maggior rispetto della destinazione e dell'ambiente. All'interno, grazie al  progetto di Pierre Yves Rochon, alle realizzazioni del Gruppo Chorus, ad una  squadra di oltre 1000 artigiani ed artisti, è stato ricreato lo storico stile  Eduardiano e Art Deco, con intramontabili luoghi d'incontro e grandi novità, tra  cui due nuove Royal Suite, 38 rinnovate River Suite, il Beaufort Bar e la Savoy  Tea area.&lt;br /&gt;Gli ospiti saranno di nuovo accolti nel Thames Foyer, dove il  meraviglioso gazebo in ferro battuto con la famosa cupola di vetro decorata,  richiama l'atmosfera di un giardino d'inverno.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Il Savoy non tornerà ad essere solo un punto di riferimento per l'hotellerie  mondiale, ma anche per la sua amata offerta culinaria, sempre più ricca. Riapre  il &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;River Restaurant&lt;/span&gt;, ristorante francese contemporaneo, curato oggi dal noto  Chef De Cuisine Ryan Murphy, mentre il leggendario &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Savoy Grill&lt;/span&gt;, sarà gestito  dalla Gordon Ramsay Holdings. I suoi piatti saranno creati ad arte dallo Chef  Stuart Gillies, con la collaborazione del Capo Chef, Andy Cook ed il menù si  ispirerà alle classiche grill room ed ai sapori del grande Chef Escoffier, che  diresse le cucine dell'hotel per molti anni, dal 1890.&lt;br /&gt;Nuovo il Beaufort  Bar, per degustare champagne e cocktail prima di cena, mentre per acquistare i  famosi infusi e prodotti di alta pasticceria il Savoy Tea sarà il luogo di  riferimento. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;L'&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;area fitness &lt;/span&gt;contemporanea, con pareti in vetro ed una piscina sul tetto,  una delle poche in città, è il luogo ideale per una pausa sportiva in città.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-3367048577002222338?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/3367048577002222338/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=3367048577002222338' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/3367048577002222338'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/3367048577002222338'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2010/12/e-stato-riaperto-lo-storico-hotel-savoy.html' title='Primo maggiordomo ecologico al mondo nello storico Hotel Savoy di Londra'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/TP5pBpnIIrI/AAAAAAAABm8/73N9kFr9kJM/s72-c/prco_italy_t68-02.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-2718244113519730237</id><published>2010-12-06T09:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-06T10:18:10.854-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Anversa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Belgio'/><title type='text'>Un weekend ad Anversa</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/TP0lOfwyL5I/AAAAAAAABmk/mB32eiY9nnc/s1600/ModeNatie.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547631246964830098" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/TP0lOfwyL5I/AAAAAAAABmk/mB32eiY9nnc/s200/ModeNatie.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anversa&lt;/strong&gt;, la città di &lt;strong&gt;Rubens&lt;/strong&gt;, ma anche una delle capitali europee della moda d'avanguardia.

Tanti gli ospiti tra cui Pati Batacchi, Elisabetta Gucci, Eugenio Giani, Leandro Gualtieri, Monica Calamai, Alberto Pecci, tutti arrivati ad ammirare le opere dell'artista riconosciuto universalmente come uno dei più affermati del Novecento in campo internazionale.&lt;br /&gt;Opere seducenti, intense che lasciano il visitatore affascinato dall'uso del colore alle volte tenue, quasi trasparente nascosto dietro una nebbia milanese o una nevicata, alle volte forte, deciso, prorompente con quelle pennellate rosso fuoco, arancioni, gialle come fossero esplosioni di lapilli che tutto inondano e sconvolgono.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Maestr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/TPkFirXQgdI/AAAAAAAABmU/HRblKgs5BxU/s1600/Antonio%2BRecalcati%2Bcon%2BLucio%2BFontana%2B%2528Carlo%2BOrsi%2Bfot%2529%255B1%255D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 154px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/TPkFirXQgdI/AAAAAAAABmU/HRblKgs5BxU/s200/Antonio%2BRecalcati%2Bcon%2BLucio%2BFontana%2B%2528Carlo%2BOrsi%2Bfot%2529%255B1%255D.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546470509397443026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;o, è come se queste tele non abbiano alcun filo conduttore che le unisca.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;E' vero. Ma io dipingo ciò che sento in quel momento. La mia arte è come un sogno caotico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lei ha vissuto a Parigi dove è diventato amico di personaggi come Eduardo Arroyo, Gilles Aillaud e Jaques Prévert per poi trasferirsi a New York e infine tornare in Italia, a Milano. Sembra quasi che dopo un po' si stancasse dei posti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Io sono alla continua ricerca di qualcosa. Dopo un po' ho bisogno di togliermi di dosso le abitudini che piano, piano ti inghiottiscono come in una sabbia mobile. Ho bisogno di rimettermi in gioco di continuo e così quando un luogo non mi emoziona più facendo finire la mia vena creativa me ne vado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lei, eterosessuale, spesso dipinge uomini, mai donne. Come mai?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Non sono uomini qualunque. Sono io. Io sono il protagonista di questi quadri. Io parlo di me come può fare uno scrittore. Tutti noi artisti, ognuno nel proprio campo, diventiamo i protagonisti di noi stessi. Una sorta di autobiografia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Visto che siamo a Firenze, come vede questa città?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Un cimitero storico. Tutto qui è straordinario, irraggiungibile, ma alla fine è una città morta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;E se fosse un colore?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Il bianco. La purezza, ma anche il niente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Come vorrebbe essere ricordato tra 100 anni?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;In nessun modo. Non mi interessa. Come non mi interessa morire. Non voglio un funerale, non voglio una croce, non voglio gli amici.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A proposito, lei era una grande amico di Enrico Coveri. Come lo ricorda?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Una persona straordinaria. Un genio.

No, non è un monumento, anche se esiste dal 1947, ma un laboratorio artigianale di tessuti, la &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tessilarte&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Oltre 60 anni di vita per una piccola azienda nata grazie alla passione di &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Vittoria Camerino Martinetti &lt;/span&gt;e dal 1970 portata avanti con amore dalla figlia &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Paola Martinetti Graziano&lt;/span&gt;, architetto. A coadiuvarla uno staff, tutto al femminile! Le materie prime e i tessuti vengono prodotti in Italia e tutta la manodopera relativa al ricamo e alla confezione è principalmente toscana. Grazie alla sua creatività senza fine Paola propone una biancheria per l&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/S9hp1lK2adI/AAAAAAAABlk/yaQfgG3flOc/s1600/tessilarte1.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 98px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/S9hp1lK2adI/AAAAAAAABlk/yaQfgG3flOc/s200/tessilarte1.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465234517045701074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;a casa (lenzuola, tovaglie, asciugamani, copricuscini e piccola oggettistica) innovativa nel design e con colori moderni che dai bianchi spaziano alle tinte più accese anche abbinate tra loro per un risultato davvero stupefacente. Lini, cotoni, rasi, arricchiti anche di preziosi ricami realizzati ancora a mano, e dedicati a coloro che desiderano contornarsi solo di cose belle e di altissima qualità.&lt;br /&gt;Un esempio di entusiasmante amore e infinita passione per la tradizione se pur con uno sguardo rivolto verso il futuro e per quella cultura artigiana che da secoli è vanto particolare della terra fiorentina.

L'attività ricettiva non è la sola organizzata dai titolari. Da sempre amanti della Sardegna, infatti, grazie alla collaborazione con alcune associazioni specializzate nel settore, si interessano di proporre &lt;strong&gt;itinerari ad hoc&lt;/strong&gt; che toccano le più suggestive località dell'isola.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span class="Stile2"&gt;Per gli amanti dell'enogastronomia regionale sono previste su prenotazione &lt;strong&gt;visite guidate&lt;/strong&gt; ad &lt;strong&gt;aziende vinicole&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;cantine&lt;/strong&gt; e &lt;strong&gt;liquorifici&lt;/strong&gt; per vedere da vicino come nascono i famosi liquori di mirto e ginepro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;The B&amp;amp;B Garibaldi is located in the marvellous setting of the historic centre of Cagliari, the most &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/S6HcKDtG9zI/AAAAAAAABks/dTiN3D75jgc/s1600-h/B%26B+Garibaldi+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 146px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449879089446319922" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/S6HcKDtG9zI/AAAAAAAABks/dTiN3D75jgc/s200/B%26B+Garibaldi+1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;important Sardinian town. It combines all modern facilities with our ancient tradition to offer you comfortable accommodation in all discretion and refined elegance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;As hospitality is a peculiar tract of Sardinian people, B&amp;amp;B Garibaldi wants to give its customers a high qualified service and a special welcome, as the famous ancient Sardinian hospitality culture demands, so no wonder if you will feel yourselves as private guests of its proprietors. Our guests can either have breakfast in their rooms or, thanks to a special agreement, they will have the possibility to have breakfast at “L'Antico Caffè”, one of the most suggestive pub of the town, completely furnished in period style, at the foot of the beautiful terrace facing the Bastione Saint Remy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;The proprietors and the qualified staff of B&amp;amp;B Garibaldi offer also &lt;strong&gt;special excursions&lt;/strong&gt; and are at their guests' disposal to advise them where to go and what to see. The proprietors of B&amp;amp;B Garibaldi, who love Sardinia and its charming beauties, have been working for many years in the field of tourism: they collaborate with tour operators and specialized associations in planning ad hoc tour itineraries which arrive at the most suggestive and fascinating places of our island. People who are keen on local gastronomy and wine tradition can book a &lt;strong&gt;conducted tour&lt;/strong&gt; to &lt;strong&gt;wine farms&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;wine cellars&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;liquor distilleries&lt;/strong&gt;, to look at the famous production of myrtle and juniper liqueurs from close up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:info@bbgaribaldicagliari.it"&gt;info@bbgaribaldicagliari.it&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-2776714249726104129?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/2776714249726104129/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=2776714249726104129' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/2776714249726104129'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/2776714249726104129'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2010/03/b-garibaldi-cagliari.html' title='B&amp;B Garibaldi (Cagliari)'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/S6HcEBPSMoI/AAAAAAAABkk/IuYkLSMMRa8/s72-c/B%26B+Garibaldi+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-1007521339096212404</id><published>2010-03-10T23:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-16T01:40:28.220-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='*Exhibitions'/><title type='text'>Grande successo di Mario Luca Giusti al Taste!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/S5jwwr3jPkI/AAAAAAAABj4/bkqD4Si12hQ/s1600-h/bichhieri+in+bassa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 134px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447368468504723010" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/S5jwwr3jPkI/AAAAAAAABj4/bkqD4Si12hQ/s200/bichhieri+in+bassa.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Grande successo al &lt;strong&gt;Taste&lt;/strong&gt; per &lt;strong&gt;Mario Luca Giusti&lt;/strong&gt; che ha presentato le sue novità di articoli per la casa nella sezione &lt;strong&gt;Taste Tools&lt;/strong&gt; della manifestazione fiorentina che si è tenuta dal 13 al 15 marzo negli spazi della Stazione Leopolda.&lt;br /&gt;Un appuntamento in cui è andato in scena l'omaggio che il brand, famoso nel mondo per i suoi eleganti e seducenti articoli in materiali plastici se pur dall'aspetto del cristallo, ha voluto rendere alla sua città, Firenze: i &lt;strong&gt;bicchieri&lt;/strong&gt; in policarbonato che si rifanno ai calici rinascimentali e le &lt;strong&gt;alzate&lt;/strong&gt; in acrilico ispirate alla Cupola del Brunelleschi.

Certo, indossare l’abito giusto e conoscere le buone maniere sono premesse indispensabili per essere considerato quello che un tempo veniva definito un &lt;strong&gt;gentiluomo&lt;/strong&gt;, ma lo stile implica qualcosa di più: l’essere a proprio agio in ogni situazione e far sentire così anche gli altri; rendere percepibile la propria presenza senza tuttavia imporla; essere un modello di comportamento per gli altri, ma soprattutto per sé stessi e senza dimenticare che qualcosa da imparare c’è sempre.&lt;br /&gt;In questo piccolo manuale Alessandro Giannotti passa in rassegna le &lt;strong&gt;regole dell’eleganza&lt;/strong&gt; e dello stile maschile: dall’abbigliamento alla cura della persona, dal lavoro allo sport, dalle cerimonie alle vacanze. "Stile per lui" è un ottimo &lt;strong&gt;vademecum&lt;/strong&gt; da cui attingere a piene mani spunti e suggerimenti per un look adeguato e mai sopra le righe, per un savoir faire adatto alle occasioni e mai fonte di imbarazzo.&lt;br /&gt;Il volume è corredato dalle spiritose e vivaci illustrazioni di &lt;strong&gt;Alessandra Ceriani&lt;/strong&gt; ed esce in contemporanea a Eleganza per lei di &lt;strong&gt;Arianna Chieli,&lt;/strong&gt; primo titolo della neonata collana di Astræa ‘The Pink Book’.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-4286738423778738906?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/4286738423778738906/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=4286738423778738906' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/4286738423778738906'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/4286738423778738906'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/11/stile-per-lui-di-alessandro-giannotti.html' title='Alessandro Giannotti &quot;Stile per Lui&quot;'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Su_bHoKvaQI/AAAAAAAABfI/5AUQM1AwrlU/s72-c/untitled.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-5385848528431436631</id><published>2009-10-21T23:39:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T22:45:05.576-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Abu Dhabi'/><title type='text'>Helix Hotel (Abu Dhabi)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SwDzoaysfFI/AAAAAAAABgQ/JZsC-5C88wk/s1600/helix9.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 114px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404587428556864594" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SwDzoaysfFI/AAAAAAAABgQ/JZsC-5C88wk/s200/helix9.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Sarà lo studio newyorkese &lt;strong&gt;Leeser Architecture&lt;/strong&gt;, a realizzazione l'&lt;strong&gt;Helix Hotel&lt;/strong&gt; nella Zayed Bay di &lt;strong&gt;Abu Dhabi&lt;/strong&gt; (Emirati Arabi). Chiamato così per i suoi piani sfalsati che sembrano riprodurre una spirale, l’albergo sorgerà proprio a ridosso della baia, in parte galleggiante sull’acqua, adiacente al Sheik Zayed Bridge dell'architetto Zaha Hadid attualmente in costruzione. Con Helix, Leeser Architecture ha elaborato un nuovo modo di considerare l’hotel negli Emirati, &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SwDztfziseI/AAAAAAAABgY/KhY8_QtUz1M/s1600/helix71.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 132px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404587515801940450" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SwDztfziseI/AAAAAAAABgY/KhY8_QtUz1M/s200/helix71.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;mettendo in evidenza elementi che di solito sono invisibili, e animando giocosamente parti che restano tradizionalmente statiche e sul suolo.&lt;br /&gt;Con 208 camere e suite, disposte intorno a un &lt;strong&gt;piano elicoidale&lt;/strong&gt;, l'impostazione dell’hotel dispensa immediatamente il visitatore dall'idea che debba imbarcarsi nei vecchi e rigidi corridoi e atri che caratterizzano un tipico albergo. I piani cambiano costantemente larghezza e altezza man mano che ci si sposta verso quelli superiori. Nessuna stanza è posizionata di fronte a un’altra e con la stessa vista. Man mano che la spirale si snoda verso l'alto, gli elementi variano da salotti e ristoranti sulla baia, a sale riunioni e conferenze, caffè, a una &lt;strong&gt;lussuosa Spa&lt;/strong&gt; al quinto piano per finire alla piscina sul tetto.&lt;br /&gt;La pista da running al quinto&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SwDz8oz4ZpI/AAAAAAAABgo/AVVrqDa_7jY/s1600/helix6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 146px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404587775917319826" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SwDz8oz4ZpI/AAAAAAAABgo/AVVrqDa_7jY/s200/helix6.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; piano rappresenta l'unico momento in cui prevalgono le superfici piane - un gioco di prestigio dell'architetto e un inatteso lusso di cui possono godere gli ospiti dell’hotel nei mesi più freschi. La piscina sul tetto dell’hotel, ubicata nella porzione aggettante del solaio, ha il fondo in vetro che rende visibili l’acqua e i nuotatori dal piano terra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Leseer Architecture&lt;/strong&gt; is the American firm that will build the new five-star luxury hotel in the Zayed Bay in &lt;strong&gt;Abu Dhabi&lt;/strong&gt;, UAE. Called &lt;strong&gt;Helix Fotel&lt;/strong&gt; for its staggered floor plates, it rests in the bay, partially floating in the water and adjacent to the serpentine sheik zayed bridge currently under construction by zaha hadid.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;With 208 guest rooms and suites arranged around a helical floor, the hotel immediately dispenses with the idea that visitors must engage in the stale paradigms of rigid hallways and atria that characterize a typical hotel stay. the floor constantly shifts in width and pitch as it rises to the top floor, keeping public spaces always in flux. No two rooms positioned across from each other have exact views to the other side.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;As the Helix winds upward, programmatic elements change from lounges and restaurants on the bay, to meeting rooms and conference facilities, to lounges and cafes, to the luxury indoor-outdoor &lt;strong&gt;health spa&lt;/strong&gt; on the fifth floor, to, finally, the upper pool deck on the roof.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The running track on the fifth floor represents the only moment when the ramping ceases and a flat surface prevails. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the sub-lobby, a dynamic glass wall is built from the base of the second floor down into the water.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-5385848528431436631?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/5385848528431436631/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=5385848528431436631' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/5385848528431436631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/5385848528431436631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/10/helix-hotel-abu-dhabi.html' title='Helix Hotel (Abu Dhabi)'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SwDzoaysfFI/AAAAAAAABgQ/JZsC-5C88wk/s72-c/helix9.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-2380575171461943651</id><published>2009-10-21T07:26:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-02T08:43:34.458-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Londra'/><title type='text'>Soho Hotel (London)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/St8bbj_8SGI/AAAAAAAABeQ/iWNP8ewoyRY/s1600-h/soho+hotel2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 186px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395061038946994274" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/St8bbj_8SGI/AAAAAAAABeQ/iWNP8ewoyRY/s200/soho+hotel2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Il &lt;strong&gt;Soho Hotel&lt;/strong&gt; è situato in una strada tranquilla nel cuore di &lt;strong&gt;Londra,&lt;/strong&gt; dove si trovano i migliori locali per l'intrattenimento, ottimi ristoranti, bar e caffè alla moda, teatri e la vibrante vita notturna londinese.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;L'interior design è firmato &lt;strong&gt;Kit Kemp&lt;/strong&gt; che lo ha voluto in uno stile contemporaneo con le camere ognuna diversa dalle altre.

Like the rest of the hotel, the guestrooms are all furnished comfortably and with a modern design.

This is the&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conrad Tokio&lt;/strong&gt;, located 37 floors over the &lt;strong&gt;Tokyo Shiodome&lt;/strong&gt; area and offering panoramic views of the extensive Hamarikyu Gardens, a former feudal lord's residence, and the city bay skyline. The 290 guestrooms and suites of this hotel mix contemporary &lt;strong&gt;luxury&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;technology&lt;/strong&gt; with an atmosphere rich in the soothing and distinctive traditions of Japan.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The design draws its inspiration from two key concepts: Sumie (black and white Japanese painting) and mon (gate). With a generous size of 48 square metres and three-metre-high ceilings, the Conrad Tokyo’s accommodations are among Tokyo's largest, and each offers panoramic views of either the city or the gardens. Vibrancy, drama and theatrical dining in Japan are all embodied in the Tokyo hotel's three signature restaurants which serve a choice of inspired Japanese, Chinese and Continental delicacies.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Michelin-starred China Blue restaurant specialises in tantalising Chinese cuisine with an innovative twist, while &lt;strong&gt;Gordon Ramsay&lt;/strong&gt; at Conrad Tokyo is popular with guests and locals alike. Water and the moon, two of nature's most powerful yet calming symbols, have been integrated into the design of what is the largest hotel Spa facility of its kind in Tokyo. With ten private treatment rooms, &lt;strong&gt;Mizuki Spa&lt;/strong&gt; is a harmonious cocoon where every imaginable indulgence awaits.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONRAD TOKIO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a name="cnrdHtlPgs"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;1-9-1 HIGASHI-SHINBASHI, MINATO-KU&lt;br /&gt;TOKIO 105-7337&lt;br /&gt;TEL: 81-3-6388-8000&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-6668505512790154602?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/6668505512790154602/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=6668505512790154602' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/6668505512790154602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/6668505512790154602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/10/conrad-tokyo-hotel-tokyo.html' title='Conrad Tokyo Hotel (Tokyo)'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SsrxFG2ZFwI/AAAAAAAABcI/TEoQg2IwRqQ/s72-c/Conrad+Tokio+4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-1509227990821856162</id><published>2009-10-04T04:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-04T04:47:22.856-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Italia montagna'/><title type='text'>Auberge de la Maison (Courmayeur)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SsiJOFbZZXI/AAAAAAAABbI/iQfHGr6BBdY/s1600-h/L%27auberge+de+la+maison+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 161px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388707829217060210" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SsiJOFbZZXI/AAAAAAAABbI/iQfHGr6BBdY/s200/L%27auberge+de+la+maison+1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Un albergo di fascino nel cuore della frazione più caratteristica di &lt;strong&gt;Courmayeur&lt;/strong&gt;: siamo ad Entrèves, poche tipiche case che si stringono attorno all’antica casa-forte, già appartenuta alla signoria di Courmayeur.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;L’Auberge de la Maison&lt;/strong&gt; si trova, a pochi minuti dal centro di Courmayeur, in una conca spettacolare, ai piedi del Monte Bianco, un contesto unico al mondo tra colate di ghiaccio e roccia in un suggestivo contrasto di colori che spaziano dal bianco con riflessi verdi del ghiaccio, al blu del cielo, al grigio-nero della roccia.

The hotel looks at the chain of Monte Bianco, the highest massif in Europe, a great challenge to those who love mountain sports. Auberge de la Maison is an &lt;strong&gt;elegant chalet&lt;/strong&gt;, in a typical and simple architecture, when old boiseries and rich wood frames make one feel at home, a warm and welcoming home indeed .&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The 33 rooms offer &lt;strong&gt;comfort&lt;/strong&gt; in a traditional way: a wooden “soppalco”, a big stove, old prints or paintings representing mountain scenarios.

Situato in un vecchio palazzo in stile fiammingo rispecchia proprio l'immagine del locale della "vecchia New York" grazie a un arredamento in legno scuro, classico dei ristoranti americani del passato.&lt;br /&gt;Al piano terreno vengono servite hamburger al bancone per coloro che desiderano un pranzo veloce, mentre al piano superiore il &lt;strong&gt;Bar Room&lt;/strong&gt; appare come un vecchio saloon dove è possibile gustare birra alla spina, scegliere in una ricca lista di vini e mangiare ottimi piatti con più relax.&lt;br /&gt;Ma ciò che ha reso questo ristorante davvero unico è la sua Richard Nouveau, l'&lt;strong&gt;hamburger più cara &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SlSkxrqCAPI/AAAAAAAABVQ/HyBxaYKTB0k/s1600-h/wall-street-burger-shoppe-new-york-nyc-interior-01.jpg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356087030289924338" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 174px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SlSkxrqCAPI/AAAAAAAABVQ/HyBxaYKTB0k/s200/wall-street-burger-shoppe-new-york-nyc-interior-01.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;della &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grande Mela&lt;/strong&gt;, ben $175!

Presto detto, un'ottima carne di manzo arricchita di 25 grammi di &lt;strong&gt;tartufo&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;nero&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;foie gras&lt;/strong&gt; e formaggio gruviera stagionato. Il tutto servito in una brioche guarnita con ulteriore tartufo. Insomma, un piatto davvero da provare creato dallo chef &lt;strong&gt;Kevin O'Connell,&lt;/strong&gt; anche se non proprio a buon mercato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wall Street Burger Shoppe&lt;/strong&gt; is the first burger joint of its kind in the Financial District of &lt;strong&gt;New York City&lt;/strong&gt;. Erected in a landmarked Flemish building with the style and feel of a classic ‘old New York’ burger eatery, it is two restaurants in one.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The ground floor offers quick-service burgers, upstairs is the Bar Room, reminiscent of old New York saloons, offering local &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SlSk_j7u0nI/AAAAAAAABVY/E5wF1bf-aZ0/s1600-h/wall-street-burger-shoppe-new-york-nyc-05.jpg"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356087268734849650" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 172px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SlSk_j7u0nI/AAAAAAAABVY/E5wF1bf-aZ0/s200/wall-street-burger-shoppe-new-york-nyc-05.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;beers on tap, an extensive wine list and a separate Bar Menu.

A real surprise for customers that continues from the hall inside the 24 rooms all of them named by colors that were painted, black, blue, red, orange... Each one with amazing play of light and other touches of style such as lacquer work of &lt;strong&gt;Isabelle Emmerique&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;But that's not all because the client can select scents and fragrances in the room to match with the mood and to live this experience so unique in a relaxed and comfortable way.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE FIVE HOTEL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3, RUE FLATTERS&lt;br /&gt;75005 PARIS&lt;br /&gt;TEL: +33 (0)1 43 31 74 21&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:contact@thefivehotel.com"&gt;contact@thefivehotel.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-2647352548769414658?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/2647352548769414658/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=2647352548769414658' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/2647352548769414658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/2647352548769414658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/07/five-hotel-paris.html' title='The Five Hotel (Paris)'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SlRhxU-6TEI/AAAAAAAABUw/Sxwy0YTC1Hg/s72-c/the+5+hotel.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-1381852301713330078</id><published>2009-07-03T01:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-03T08:35:42.194-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Svizzera'/><title type='text'>Null Stern Hotel (Switzerland)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sk3IDLmRNxI/AAAAAAAABUo/j3Z9LIzVl6U/s1600-h/fratelli+Riklin.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354155488991852306" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 155px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sk3IDLmRNxI/AAAAAAAABUo/j3Z9LIzVl6U/s200/fratelli+Riklin.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Il &lt;strong&gt;Null Stern Hotel&lt;/strong&gt; è un'invenzione dei gemelli, ed entrambi artisti concettuali, &lt;strong&gt;Frank &lt;/strong&gt;e &lt;strong&gt;Patrik Riklin&lt;/strong&gt;, fondatori dell‘Atelier fur Sonderaufgaben (atelier per progetti speciali) nel cantone di St. Gallen, in Svizzera. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In cooperazione con il comune di Sevelen è nato &lt;strong&gt;il primo Hotel Zero Stelle&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;al mondo&lt;/strong&gt;, ampliamento del tradizionale concetto d'albergo inteso come istallazione artistica.

Ubicato all’interno del quattrocentesco &lt;strong&gt;Palazzo Tornabuoni Corsi&lt;/strong&gt; mantiene uno stile architettonico e un arredamento interno semplice ed essenziale come gli altri locali della catena anche se la storicità del luogo ha reso necessaria una diversa applicazione del concept lasciando inalterato lo spazio e la sua percezione con una vetrata a giorno. Un modo per garantire continuità visiva e spaziale tra il chiostro rinascimentale, attribuito a &lt;strong&gt;Michelozzo&lt;/strong&gt;, e la loggia.&lt;br /&gt;La filosofia di Obika’ è quella di offrire ai propri clienti le migliori mozzarelle di bufala e le migliori ricette tradizionali, attraverso l’utilizzo di prodotti italiani freschi ed artigianali di alta qualità. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;La presentazione dei piatti “a vista” prevede una speciale selezione di prodotti biologici e stagion&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SkoZxWbtQuI/AAAAAAAABUA/3xgct_Gm-ro/s1600-h/obik%C3%A0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353119442709332706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 132px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SkoZxWbtQuI/AAAAAAAABUA/3xgct_Gm-ro/s200/obik%C3%A0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;ali anche se il primo posto nel menu è riservato alle &lt;strong&gt;mozzarelle di Bufala&lt;/strong&gt; , filate e mozzate a mano, tutte rigorosamente fresche di giornata. Si può scegliere tra il sapore dolce e delicato della mozzarella di Paestum, quello consistente e saporito della Pontina o infine il gusto più marcato e deciso dell’Affumicata, tutto accompagnato da prosciutto di Parma DOP, bresaola della Valtellina, mortadella di Prato ed altro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Proseguendo nel menu, si passa poi agli antipasti con specialità quali le friselle pugliesi o la caponata siciliana; i primi piatti, tra cui la pasta artigianale di Gragnano, tortini di riso, tradizionali zuppe di legumi e insalate. Infine i dolci tra i quali il tiramisù e la torta caprese. Specialità da gustare con un’ampia gamma di vini quali Feudi di San Gregorio, Marchesi Antinori, Tasca d’Almerita.&lt;br /&gt;Al mattino al Bar è servita la prima colazione, mentre durante il resto della giornata sarà possibile degustare il gelato di Vivoli, storica gelateria fiorentina. Il servizio caffetteria rimarrà operativo per tutto l’arco della giornata. Un’altra delle caratteristiche distintive del locale è l'&lt;strong&gt;aperitivo&lt;/strong&gt; servito dalle 18,30 alle 20,30 mentre la domenica viene proposto anche il &lt;strong&gt;Brunch Italiano&lt;/strong&gt; con un ricco buffet. Obikà è infine anche catering e take-away. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SkoZ2sajd2I/AAAAAAAABUI/8xzK2RzgloU/s1600-h/obik%C3%A01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353119534509422434" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SkoZ2sajd2I/AAAAAAAABUI/8xzK2RzgloU/s200/obik%C3%A01.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obikà&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Mozzarella Bar&lt;/strong&gt; opens in Via Tornabuoni, in the unique city of &lt;strong&gt;Florence&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Located inside the &lt;strong&gt;Palazzo Tornabuoni Corsi&lt;/strong&gt;, an historic fifteenth century palace, it nevertheless retains the distinctive architectonic style and interior design of other Obikàs around the world maintaining the use of natural materials: glass, wood and iron.&lt;br /&gt;The dominant colour of the interior design is black, in contrast with the oak wood; the chromatic range is completed with natural iron and resin. The Obikà philosophy is based on research of the best &lt;strong&gt;buffalo mozzarellas&lt;/strong&gt; and other Italian specialties, and on the use of fresh, handmade products, all of the highest quality. Exclusively handmade and produced with buffalo milk, all of Obikà’s mozzarellas come from a PDO area (Protected Designation of Origin).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Starters include specialties such as the Wholemeal crispy bread from Apulia, the Sicilian vegetable and tomato casserole; primi piatti, with the traditional pasta from Gragnano, along with Rice tortinos and the traditional Vegetable soup. The salads are completely derived from organic agriculture. The dessert section includes tiramisù and the Chocolate and almond cake with ice cream, a typical Campania region cake. The wine list features labels of outstanding quality such as Feudi di San Gregorio, Marchesi Antinori, Tasca d’Almerita.&lt;br /&gt;In the morning, croissants and handmade pastries are served. Coffee service is available all day, as is Vivoli ice cream, from the historic Florentine ice cream shop. Another distinguishing characteristic is the &lt;strong&gt;aperitivo&lt;/strong&gt;, served from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;On Sundays, an &lt;strong&gt;Italian brunch&lt;/strong&gt; is served from 12:00pm to 3:00pm. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;It also offers catering and take-away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OBIKA' MOZZARELLA BAR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VIA TORNABUONI 16&lt;br /&gt;FIRENZE&lt;br /&gt;TEL: +39-055 27 73 526&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:firenze@obika.it"&gt;firenze@obika.it&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-4538389693782403862?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/4538389693782403862/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=4538389693782403862' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/4538389693782403862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/4538389693782403862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/06/obika-mozzarella-bar-florence.html' title='Obikà Mozzarella Bar (Florence)'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Skofmc5HREI/AAAAAAAABUQ/Ehflys6sDko/s72-c/obik%C3%A0+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-2654308307840987884</id><published>2009-06-30T02:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-30T08:24:03.232-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Siracusa'/><title type='text'>Hotel Gutkowski (Siracusa)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SkneFzwwr7I/AAAAAAAABT4/YwMiEzgE5vA/s1600-h/gutkowski3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 151px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353053823481982898" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SkneFzwwr7I/AAAAAAAABT4/YwMiEzgE5vA/s200/gutkowski3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Il &lt;strong&gt;Gutkowski &lt;/strong&gt;è un piccolo quanto delizioso &lt;strong&gt;albergo&lt;/strong&gt; di 25 camere distribuite in due vecchi edifici in origine abitati da artigiani e pescatori e oggi restaurati in uno stile tradizionale rivisitato in luce contemporanea.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Si trova nel centro storico di Siracusa, &lt;strong&gt;Ortigia&lt;/strong&gt;, e alcune sue caratteristiche, come i colori naturali, l’ambiente intimo e accogliente e l’atmosfera ospitale,ne fanno un albergo molto particolare, ideale per chi ama viaggiare preferendo hotel di piccole dimensioni per respirare un'atmosfera rilassante, quasi familiare.

Siamo nel cuore della città dove il quartiere dello shopping di &lt;strong&gt;Knightsbridge&lt;/strong&gt; incontra il fascino alla moda di &lt;strong&gt;Chelsea&lt;/strong&gt;. Risalendo Sloane Street e sfilando davanti alle vetrine di boutique come Ermanno Scervino, Tiffany e Gucci, si raggiungono prima i grandi magazzini Harrods, poi Harvey Nichols, quindi South Kensington e la zona dei grandi musei, per giungere, infine, alla quiete di Hyde Park&lt;br /&gt;Un albergo in cui non è stato trascurato neppure il minimo dettaglio, The Sloane Square, tanto che hanno pensato anche agli &lt;strong&gt;ospiti più alti&lt;/strong&gt;, mettendo a loro disposizione dieci "&lt;strong&gt;camere su misura&lt;/strong&gt;", con letti e vasche da bagno più lunghi.

E, confusa con la gente del posto, non è raro incontrare anche qualche celebrità!&lt;br /&gt;Affacciata sulle fronde di Sloane Square ma pur sempre nel cuore del quartiere "modaiolo" di Chelsea, The Chelsea Brasserie accoglie i clienti in un'atmosfera rilassata, con un prelibato menu curato dal celebre chef &lt;strong&gt;David Karlsson Moller&lt;/strong&gt; noto per le sue proposte gastronomiche all'insegna della leggerezza per pranzo e delle proposte pi&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SkMq0gk-0CI/AAAAAAAABSI/Y4cekQYJdWI/s1600-h/mod_galleries_34_thumb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351167863832891426" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 160px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 142px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SkMq0gk-0CI/AAAAAAAABSI/Y4cekQYJdWI/s200/mod_galleries_34_thumb.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;ù tradizionali per la sera. &lt;strong&gt;Da non perdere il Sunday Brunch&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;Il ristorante è affiancato da un bar per palati fini, che propone a sua volta spuntini leggeri innaffiati da una ricchissima carta di cocktail e bevande alcoliche.

E' un antico borgo in pietra del XIV secolo che sorge maestoso su una splendida collina interamente circondata da cipressi e ulivi secolari, che fanno da cornice ad uno stupendo panorama sul centro storico di Torrita di Siena e la campagna circostante. Appena varcato il cancello di questa dimora storica si inizia un &lt;strong&gt;percorso artistico e poetico&lt;/strong&gt; di perfetta fusione tra armonia della natura e armonia dell'arte contemporanea, sapientemente coniugate così da rendere la Residenza d'Arte una dimora di charme unica nel suo genere. La reception è collocata in un grande salone accogliente dove vecchie travi e mura in pietra vibrano in una danza cromatica emozionale insie&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sjiy1r85KOI/AAAAAAAABQQ/HDBx0Gk1Jbc/s1600-h/residenza+3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348221192903403746" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 125px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sjiy1r85KOI/AAAAAAAABQQ/HDBx0Gk1Jbc/s200/residenza+3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;me ad innumerevoli opere pittoriche, scultoree e di design artistico. Le forme e i colori avvolgono magicamente l'intero borgo in tutti gli ambienti interni ed esterni.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Tutte le romantiche e accoglienti camere e suites sono diverse tra loro, impreziosite da forme, figure, tinte e colori caldi, rifinite in ogni minimo dettaglio con il chiaro intento di stupire e rapire le emozioni dei clienti. Ci si ritroverà quindi a vivere il &lt;strong&gt;soggiorno&lt;/strong&gt; in un luogo&lt;strong&gt; inusuale&lt;/strong&gt; e &lt;strong&gt;lussuoso,&lt;/strong&gt; che offre agli ospiti un'atmosfera ricca di emozioni, conciliando il piacere dello spirito con il riposo del corpo e della mente. Il progetto di creare un gallery/hotel unico al mondo come la Residenza d’Arte nasce da un’idea e dalle passioni di Anna Izzo, scultrice, pittrice, ed interior designer conosciuta e quotata a livello internazione, la quale ha voluto offrire un’alternativa ai soliti hotel e relais senza personalità, realizzando in un luogo così antico e denso&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sjiynrvln9I/AAAAAAAABP4/ozrMoNIo8L8/s1600-h/residenza.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348220952329428946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 125px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sjiynrvln9I/AAAAAAAABP4/ozrMoNIo8L8/s200/residenza.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; di storia un vero e proprio hotel/showroom che potesse emozionare e coinvolgere fortemente i suoi ospiti grazie all’originalità ed energia delle sue opere d’arte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Residenza d'Arte&lt;/strong&gt; is a charming abode situated in the town of Torrita di Siena, a 14th century village in stone a few kilometres from Siena, Pienza, Montepulciano, and Cortona. It rises majestically on a splendid hill surrounded by cypresses and age-old olive trees, which act as picture frames for the stupendous panorama. As soon as you cross the gate of this historic dwelling, you embark on an &lt;strong&gt;artistic &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;poetic experience&lt;/strong&gt; that is a perfect fusion between the harmony of nature and the harmony of contemporary art, intelligently combined so as to make the Residenza d'Arte a unique place to stay.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The reception desk is in a large and pleasant hall where old beam&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sjiyr3Xyw0I/AAAAAAAABQA/ofOu35wlm5A/s1600-h/residenza+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348221024170328898" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 125px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sjiyr3Xyw0I/AAAAAAAABQA/ofOu35wlm5A/s200/residenza+1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;s and stone walls vibrate in a moving dance together with numerous paintings, sculptures, and design artworks.

This makes the Residenza d’Arte an &lt;strong&gt;unusual &lt;/strong&gt;and&lt;strong&gt; luxurious place to stay&lt;/strong&gt;, offering a rich atmosphere of emotions and combining the pleasure of the spirit with the rest of mind and body.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The project to create an unique Gallery Hotel in the world as the Residenza d'Arte is born from an idea of the artist &lt;strong&gt;Anna Izzo&lt;/strong&gt;, sculptress, painter and interior designer known all over the world. She has wanted to offer an alternative to the usual hotel without personality, creating in a place so ancient and rich of history a real hotel with the intention to strongly involve the guests through the originality and energy of her creations.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RESIDENZA D’ARTE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;POGGIO MADONNA DELL’OLIVO&lt;br /&gt;TORRITA DI SIENA&lt;br /&gt;(SIENA)&lt;br /&gt;TEL: +39-0577 68 65 28&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:residenzadarte@fastwebnet.it" target="_blank"&gt;residenzadarte@fastwebnet.it&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-8499469773001615533?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/8499469773001615533/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=8499469773001615533' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/8499469773001615533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/8499469773001615533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/06/residenza-darte-torrita-di-siena.html' title='Residenza d&apos;Arte (Torrita di Siena)'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SjiyxKy4_CI/AAAAAAAABQI/z3R8RR1KyOs/s72-c/residenza+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-4678593876841458950</id><published>2009-06-16T23:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-18T08:51:00.790-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gay and Gay Friendly'/><title type='text'>The Grand Resort and Spa (Fort Lauderdale)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SjiUamYmpRI/AAAAAAAABPg/aCyHAU2TinI/s1600-h/The+Grand+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 183px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348187742203716882" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SjiUamYmpRI/AAAAAAAABPg/aCyHAU2TinI/s200/The+Grand+1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Il &lt;strong&gt;Grand Resort and Spa&lt;/strong&gt; è il più grande hotel di &lt;strong&gt;Fort Lauderdale&lt;/strong&gt;, in Florida, dedicato esclusivamente a una &lt;strong&gt;clientela gay&lt;/strong&gt;.

nelle vicinanze di &lt;strong&gt;Butera&lt;/strong&gt;, in provincia di Caltanissetta, si trova la &lt;strong&gt;Farm Ospitalità di Campagna&lt;/strong&gt; che racchiude in sé un connubio ottimale tra arte e design contemporaneo ed architettura antica. La campagna circostante è impregnata di un’&lt;strong&gt;atmosfera romantica&lt;/strong&gt; d’altri tempi ed accoglie i suoi ospiti con sensazioni uniche unite all’arte del ricevere tipico della nostra cultura mediterranea.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Situata all’interno di una tenuta di 200 ettari con infiniti campi coltivati a grano, vigneto, uliveto e mandorleto biologico, la Farm si divide tra la corte esterna e la zona interna che si articola in ambienti da vivere in comune in un’accogliente atmosfera: come l’elegante salotto, arredato con divani m&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SjN4MM7n6sI/AAAAAAAABL4/1814AXVp2C8/s1600-h/Farm+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346749333643979458" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 194px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SjN4MM7n6sI/AAAAAAAABL4/1814AXVp2C8/s200/Farm+1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;oderni e spunti esotici ed arricchito dal vecchio camino e da particolari ed inaspettate opere d’arte.

Questa stanza sarà la vostra per 30 minuti prima e 30 minuti dopo il trattamento.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ma non dimenticate di portare un costume da bagno perché tutta l’area dedicata all'acqua è unisex!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;For newyorkers, &lt;strong&gt;Great Jones Spa&lt;/strong&gt; is one of the best in the Big Apple: a slice of heaven in the middle of &lt;strong&gt;Noho&lt;/strong&gt; (North-Houston), you feel like you are no longer in Manhattan.&lt;br /&gt;All of the other spas are usually located on the floor of an office building and you feel like you are going to a business meeting rather than a spa appoin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SieJIgXQU4I/AAAAAAAABJg/8ywL6uGwmKY/s1600-h/juice_bar_500_01.jpg"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343390262117815170" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 185px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SieJIgXQU4I/AAAAAAAABJg/8ywL6uGwmKY/s200/juice_bar_500_01.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;tment. Great Jones spa is 10,000 sq feet of &lt;strong&gt;maximized pleasure&lt;/strong&gt;: you come in the regular-looking entrance, but then you go back and down, down, down into the caverns of a small modern bathhouse that looks like you should have a man in cotton toga slapping your back with an eucalyptus branch.&lt;br /&gt;The water lounge is excellent, namely jacuzzi, cold plunge, sauna, and steam room. Refreshing healthy fruits &amp;amp; nuts are offered for snacks, and pitchers of iced lemon water are everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;Upon request you can book the &lt;strong&gt;special couple room&lt;/strong&gt; which comes with a private steam room and jacuzzi. It features rock walls and discreet votives. This room is yours for 30 minutes before and 30 minutes following the treatment.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Don't forget to bring a bathing suit: the whole water area is co-ed!&lt;br /&gt;(Olivia Poli, New York)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GREAT JONES SPA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;29 GREAT JONES STREET&lt;br /&gt;NEW YORK, NY 10012&lt;br /&gt;TEL: +1-212 505.3185&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:info@gjspa.com"&gt;info@gjspa.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-430315532155292801?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/430315532155292801/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=430315532155292801' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/430315532155292801'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/430315532155292801'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/06/great-jones-spa-new-york-city.html' title='Great Jones Spa (New York)'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SieI7JTelUI/AAAAAAAABJY/gx6MgTmS4zk/s72-c/spa2%5B1%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-3419175040479608989</id><published>2009-06-02T09:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-02T09:13:58.795-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Italia mare'/><title type='text'>Hotel Aquadulci (Sardinia)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SiVNtslPdCI/AAAAAAAABIo/sPyeemsx6vA/s1600-h/surroundings1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342761980401775650" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 114px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SiVNtslPdCI/AAAAAAAABIo/sPyeemsx6vA/s200/surroundings1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; L’&lt;strong&gt;Hotel Aquadulci&lt;/strong&gt; è la scelta naturale di chi vuole unire vacanza e piacere del vivere, immergendosi nelle sensazioni.

Situato sulla &lt;strong&gt;Fifth Avenue&lt;/strong&gt;, con una spettacolare vista su Central Park, fu aperto nel 1930 e le sue 189 camere per gli ospiti, tra cui 49 suite, divennero poi emblema del &lt;strong&gt;Gruppo Taj Hotels&lt;/strong&gt; nella Grande Mela nel 2005. Tra le novità l’apertura del ristorante in stile Brasserie, &lt;strong&gt;Le Caprice at the Pierre&lt;/strong&gt;, al primo piano dell’Hotel che esce per la prima volta dalla location londinese e porta la sua fama d’alto livello anche negli Stati Uniti. Il luogo perfetto per colazioni di lavoro o cene romantiche.&lt;br /&gt;Significante la ristrutturazione sia delle camere dagli alti soffitti e ognuna con il proprio salotto che dei bagni, che hanno mantenuto intatto lo &lt;strong&gt;stile Decò&lt;/strong&gt;, mentre il primo piano continua a richiamare il carattere &lt;strong&gt;Neo–Georgiano&lt;/strong&gt; ricco di motivi decorativi che si ritrova anche negli spaziosi e quanto mai chic locali comuni. I toni sono chiari come l'avorio, il pervinca e il verde acqua con tocchi di colore acceso come il corallo e blu per un trionfo di preziosi tessuti in seta e broccati per i tendaggi e per i cuscini dei comodi divani, per&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SgnTpEk2lXI/AAAAAAAABFQ/obgb1Gs4vDE/s1600-h/The+Pierre+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335027936153474418" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 157px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SgnTpEk2lXI/AAAAAAAABFQ/obgb1Gs4vDE/s200/The+Pierre+2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; un’atmosfera di &lt;strong&gt;vero lusso&lt;/strong&gt;. A rendere tutto più confortevole gli eleganti tappeti appositamente realizzati a mano. Alcune suite possono avere fino a sei camere comunicanti perfette per accogliere famiglie o capi di stato. Nuovo anche l’ingresso dalla 61st Street che resterà sempre aperto per meeting ed eventi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Pierre&lt;/strong&gt;, the iconic U.S. flagship of &lt;strong&gt;Taj Hotels&lt;/strong&gt; on New York’s Fifth Avenue overlooking Central Park, will re-open &lt;strong&gt;June 1&lt;/strong&gt; following a meticulous renovation to create new guestroom and bath interiors and to reconfigure first floor public areas to accommodate a new restaurant, &lt;strong&gt;Le Caprice at The Pierre&lt;/strong&gt;, as well as 2 East, a new lobby lounge, and a graciously welcoming reception area.&lt;br /&gt;All guestrooms and suites are being transformed to feature a warm, inviting residential-style décor with a feeling of &lt;strong&gt;quiet luxury&lt;/strong&gt;. High ceilings and abundant natural light evoke a gracious, airy experience that enhances the new interiors. Color palettes, comprised of soft neutrals in pale ivory and taupe with tones of corals or blues, are contrasted with rich woods, tufted leather headboards and matching benches. Richly textured silk and brocade fabrics in elegant neutrals with tasteful accents of color adorn upholstery, pillows, draperies and bed throws. Hand-carved carpets ensure &lt;strong&gt;comfort &lt;/strong&gt;and superb acoustical sound control.&lt;br /&gt;The living ro&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SgnTfgRo5pI/AAAAAAAABFI/3AEv896-_54/s1600-h/The+Pierre.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335027771790386834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SgnTfgRo5pI/AAAAAAAABFI/3AEv896-_54/s200/The+Pierre.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;oms in all guest suites will feature similarly inviting color palettes, comfortably elegant plush sofas and chairs, rich wood cabinetry, side tables and desks in the style of classic antiques, and the Bose Home Theatre system.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The decorative fireplace is trimmed with original architectural details that have been restored to match the original crown ceiling moldings and window frames, and fitted with romantic white pillar candles. Some suites will accommodate up to six connecting bedrooms under just one key, ideal for families, corporate travellers and heads of state. The new designs for the first floor respect the &lt;strong&gt;neo-Georgian&lt;/strong&gt; character of The Pierre’s grand public spaces, with decorative motifs, subtle embellishments and artful floor plans that perfectly accommodate sophisticated entertaining and hospitality for discerning guests. The new restaurant, Le Caprice at The Pierre will feature timeless classics for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including its legendary Thai-baked sea bass and salmon fishcakes, in a convivial modern setting.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE PIERRE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 EAST 61th STREET&lt;br /&gt;10065 NEW YORK, NY&lt;br /&gt;TEL +1-212 83 88 000&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:thepierre.ny@tajhotels.com"&gt;thepierre.ny@tajhotels.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-5663101066201046018?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/5663101066201046018/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=5663101066201046018' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/5663101066201046018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/5663101066201046018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/05/pierre.html' title='The Pierre (New York)'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SgnUIhGp-tI/AAAAAAAABFY/NqOjnxry3y4/s72-c/The+Pierre+1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-5527786524672380478</id><published>2009-05-12T01:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-05T06:46:08.772-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Firenze'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bed and Breakfast'/><title type='text'>Relais Modern (Florence)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SgkwMtRVz7I/AAAAAAAABFA/reJMgb4NB9I/s1600-h/Relais+modern.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334848228465954738" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 138px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SgkwMtRVz7I/AAAAAAAABFA/reJMgb4NB9I/s200/Relais+modern.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Rosso come il giglio di Firenze, come un buon vino toscano, come la forza e la passione di questa città, come le luminose tinte che tratteggiano il &lt;strong&gt;Bed and Breakfast&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Relais Modern&lt;/strong&gt; con leggerezza e solarità.&lt;br /&gt;Situtato nel pieno centro di Firenze vicino alla stazione Santa Maria Novella, al centro congressi Fortezza da Basso e ai più importanti luoghi di interesse artistici si distingue per un’elegante sintesi di comodità, tecnologia e design: nel moderno Relais Modern pulsa un efficiente cuore di &lt;strong&gt;domotica&lt;/strong&gt;, che regola i comfort per sintonizzarsi al &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SgkwDWKzSvI/AAAAAAAABEw/bm263xT5ZwM/s1600-h/Relais+Modern+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334848067645688562" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 138px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SgkwDWKzSvI/AAAAAAAABEw/bm263xT5ZwM/s200/Relais+Modern+2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;meglio con il vostro benessere.&lt;br /&gt;Un B&amp;amp;B dal moderno concept di tecnologia, design e leggerezza.

Il palazzo accoglie gli ospiti con una accogliente lobby che si apre sulla veranda e sulla sala da pranzo da cui si intravede la piscina. Una grande scalinata conduce fino alle dieci&lt;strong&gt; suite di vero lusso&lt;/strong&gt;, ancora in stile Maharaja con grandi terrazzi che si affacciano sul giardino.&lt;br /&gt;L’arredamento richiama i colori del fiume Gange, della calendula e dei gelsomini, con le sfumature del rosa dei fiori di loto che le acque donano a Varanasi. La città ha anche una storica tradizione tessile, che si ritrova nell’uso dei ricchi tessuti e dei drappeggi all’interno del Nadesar Palace. Anche le opera d’arte sono pezzi antichi della collezione dei Maharaja.

Built by the East India Company and acquired by Maharaja Prabhu Narain Singh in the 19th century, the palace is named after goddess Nadesari whose shrine is located in front of the palace.

Choose from deliciously spiced local cuisine or delicately balanced satvik, for those on a spiritual journey. And finish with a wide array of mouth watering local sweetmeats - in the true spirit of Varanasi - with a green betel-leaf delicacy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In a city that takes the spiritual journey very seriously - Treat yourself to a rejuvenation of mind, body and spirit, at any of the 3 treatment rooms and a yoga room in the &lt;strong&gt;Jiva Spa&lt;/strong&gt;. Holistic treatments, custom-made healing baths, aroma therapies and ayurvedic massages all conceived in a royal, relaxed atmosphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NADESAR PALACE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;VARANASI&lt;br /&gt;221 002 UTTAR PRADESH&lt;br /&gt;INDIA&lt;br /&gt;TEL: +91-542 2503001&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:nadesar.varanasi@tajhotels.com"&gt;nadesar.varanasi@tajhotels.com&lt;/a&gt;

Gli interni minimalisti e sobri seguono la stessa filosofia che si ritrova nel nuovo &lt;strong&gt;B&amp;amp;B Sofie Lachaert&lt;/strong&gt; realizzato nello stesso edificio in cui le camere rispecchiano in pieno lo stile della galleria.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Solo due camere, una con un letto matrimoniale king-size, l’altra con due letti singoli, i cui arredi sono stati disegnati e realizzati dai proprietari.

This same philosophy extends to the newly opened &lt;strong&gt;B&amp;amp;B Sofie Lachaert&lt;/strong&gt; accommodations too that mirrors the subtle style of the gallery. The decor of the two guest rooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with twin beds, was designed by the owners. An interesting blend of contemporary and vintage, of art objects and utensils from the gallery. Much of what you see is also for sale.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The extensive breakfast with many fresh ingredients is served in the gallery, using the silver and cutlery by various artists. Guests can enjoy home-made rolls and conserves, eggs fresh from the B&amp;amp;B’s own henhouse, freshly squeezed fruit juice and expresso, all rounded off with - last but not least! - Belgian chocolates. After breakfast, guests are invited to join in an exclusive guided tour of the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;B&amp;amp;B SOFIE LACHAERT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;ST.

Located in the mansion's farm dated 1865 of Nicolaos Orlof's family this resort, designed by the young architect &lt;strong&gt;Elza Manola&lt;/strong&gt;, gains a reputation of a real oasis because of the elegant architecture of Spetses that is in full harmony with the unique environment of the island. For its the construction were used natural materials, some of which come from the ground soil of Spetses, such as rock, wood, pebbles, marble, lime, tiles, slab-stone, all worked by the hands of &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SgA7YadcKWI/AAAAAAAABCw/QumXU1xd-HA/s1600-h/orloff+resort+3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332327249412368738" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 155px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SgA7YadcKWI/AAAAAAAABCw/QumXU1xd-HA/s200/orloff+resort+3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;local foremen.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;The harmonic co-existence of the traditional architecture with the modern aesthetics and the new technology, in association with the high standard services and the warm smile of the personnel offer to the customers a unique experience of hospitality, relaxation and pleasure.

A new concept for one of the most interesting hotel of this wonderful town located only a few minutes away from its historic centre.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;It is the ideal base for business trips or for the tourists who wish to live the Dutch capital in its different aspects as such as shopping, culture and fun.

Questo hotel nel pittoresco villaggio di Oia è una vera festa per la vista: una splendente costruzione color bianco brillante su di una roccia che si inerpica lungo una ripida collina ad un centinaio di metri sopra il mare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Le 27 stanze per gli ospiti sfruttano al massimo questa posizione davvero unica; le stanze standard hanno terrazze private, mentre le suite migliori dispongono di stanze da letto davvero ampie con &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sf7DF2VAZeI/AAAAAAAABBQ/99bi7MrxBU4/s1600-h/katikies+3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331913514103629282" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 135px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sf7DF2VAZeI/AAAAAAAABBQ/99bi7MrxBU4/s200/katikies+3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;finestre panoramiche sul mare. Alcune hanno persino la sala da pranzo su terrazze all'aperto e, nel caso della &lt;strong&gt;Katikies Suite&lt;/strong&gt;, un salotto che potrebbe competere con molti dei più bei bar all'aperto. Gli interni sono semplici e bianchi, nello stile tradizionale dell'isola greca, senza scadere nel minimalismo: pensate ad oggetti antichi ed al marmo, ma in quantità modesta e di gusto ricercato. L’hotel offre &lt;strong&gt;ottimi ristoranti&lt;/strong&gt; come quello sul tetto, che serve cucina mediterranea sotto una veranda all'aperto, il Kirini accanto alla piscina, con un ambiente meno formale, ed il White Cave con solo tre tavoli situati in una grotta naturale, il luogo ideale per una cena romantica!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;On &lt;strong&gt;Sant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sf7C7JnSN3I/AAAAAAAABBA/cjj7LqVXRKU/s1600-h/katikies+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331913330302007154" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sf7C7JnSN3I/AAAAAAAABBA/cjj7LqVXRKU/s200/katikies+1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;orini &lt;/strong&gt;Island, the &lt;strong&gt;view&lt;/strong&gt; is the thing, and there may be none better than that from the &lt;strong&gt;Katikies Hotel,&lt;/strong&gt; looking out over the island’s submerged volcanic caldera and the azure sea. This hotel located in the picturesque village of Oia is a real feast for the eyes, not just a scenic overlook but a sparkling white modernist take on a traditional cliff dwelling, spilling down the steep hillside a hundred meters above the water.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The 27 guest rooms and suites make the most of the hotel’s position and are created like a little Greek apartament; even the standard rooms have private terraces, and the better suites feature loft bedrooms with picture windows overlooking the sea. Some even feature outdoor terrace &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sf7C2aB-I8I/AAAAAAAABA4/9_U0YQ7gLMc/s1600-h/katikies.jpg"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331913248809558978" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sf7C2aB-I8I/AAAAAAAABA4/9_U0YQ7gLMc/s200/katikies.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;dining rooms, and in the case of the &lt;strong&gt;Katikies Suite&lt;/strong&gt;, a lounge to rival many a rooftop bar. Interiors are spare and white, in traditional Greek island style, yet without venturing into showy minimalism —think antiques and marble, but in tastefully modest quantities.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The hotel offers &lt;strong&gt;very good restaurants&lt;/strong&gt; as such as the one on rooftop serving Mediterranean cuisine on an open-air veranda, the Kirini poolside restaurant for more casual fare and the White Cave with just three tables in a natural cave overlooking the caldera, the perfect place for a romantic dinner!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KATIKIES HOTEL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;SANTORINI 84702&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:info@katikies.com"&gt;info@katikies.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-5052182242795778494?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/5052182242795778494/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=5052182242795778494' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/5052182242795778494'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/5052182242795778494'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/05/katikies-hotel.html' title='Katikies Hotel (Greece)'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sf7DhA4wMAI/AAAAAAAABBo/7x8KK5KM6Uw/s72-c/katikies+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-7121784385824311577</id><published>2009-04-28T02:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-02T09:39:21.753-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marocco'/><title type='text'>Infinity Sea House (Morocco)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SfbT5yGLBwI/AAAAAAAABAY/QKsiaLXYzpE/s1600-h/Riad+Infinity+Sea.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329680198693226242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 140px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SfbT5yGLBwI/AAAAAAAABAY/QKsiaLXYzpE/s200/Riad+Infinity+Sea.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Infinity Sea House&lt;/strong&gt; di Marrakech è un riad completamente ristrutturato e trasformato in una elegante oasi del “bien vivre”. Il riad si trova tra il quartiere di Bab Targzoulte e di Sidi Ben Slimane, nei pressi della Moschea di Sidi Bel Abes, uno dei luoghi più tradizionali della città in cui si respira profondo il fascino della cultura e dello stile di vita marocchino.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Piccole botteghe, bazar e abitazioni private fanno da contorno all’animata vita di strada in un caleidoscopio di forti emozioni e tradizioni secolari.

Senza dimenticare la morbida e raffinata biancheria, ma anche preziose lenzuola di lino, piumini e complementi d’arredo rigorosamente bianchi, sinonimo di eleganza e purezza formale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Che dire, poi, del fascino del marmo italiano, elegante e raffinato, perfetto per il decoro delle camere e dei grandi saloni open space, arredati con ampi divani, tavoli in cristallo e acciaio.

Fusion ideale, quindi, di forme e colori che reinterpreta il piacere di vivere in un riad dal fascino arabo-andaluso, nel cuore della medina di Marrakech, con l’eccellenza, l’originalità e il design del &lt;strong&gt;Made in Italy&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SfbUDJZPloI/AAAAAAAABAo/ajrUmbav4Is/s1600-h/Riad+Infinity+Sea+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329680359566055042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 140px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SfbUDJZPloI/AAAAAAAABAo/ajrUmbav4Is/s200/Riad+Infinity+Sea+2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Infinity Sea House&lt;/strong&gt; is located between the Bab Targzoulte and Sidi Ben Slimane quarters of Marrakech near the Sidi Bel Abes Mosque, one of the most traditional sites in the city where the Moroccan culture and lifestyle are most enthralling. Small shops, bazaars and private homes set the stage for the lively street life in a kaleidoscope of intense emotions and age-old traditions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The riad can be reached by car, an excellent logistics solution in the Medina, with it narrow and crowded alleyways where traffic is only pedestrian. Still on foot, it only takes 15 minutes to reach the Marrakech Museum and Medersa ben Youssef and, in less then 20, be tempted by the whirlwind of jugglers, artists and storytellers in Jemma El Fna square, declared a site of &lt;strong&gt;World Heritage by Unesco&lt;/strong&gt;. Infinity Sea House is a fully renovated riad transformed into an elegant oasis of &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SfbUNclGQpI/AAAAAAAABAw/_nRuQ-6BoJU/s1600-h/Riad+Infinity+Sea+4.jpg"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329680536514740882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 140px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SfbUNclGQpI/AAAAAAAABAw/_nRuQ-6BoJU/s200/Riad+Infinity+Sea+4.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;"bien vivre". The clear philosophy is to revive the Arabic-Andalusian architectural influences, combining essentialism with Italian design style.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The project, by the Italian interior designer &lt;strong&gt;Maurizio Ceppi,&lt;/strong&gt; represents an excellent balance between Made in Italy and the Arabic-Moroccan-Andalusian style.Extraordinary expression of Italian design in the shapes, colours and contents for the glass mosaics in the bathrooms, red, light blue and iridescent blue. Without overlooking the soft and elegant linens, bathrobes, towels, tablecloths and even linen sheets, comforters and upholstery, strictly white, a synonym of elegance and formal purity. What else can be said about the charm of Italian marble, elegant and sophisticated, perfect for room and large open space decor, furnished with ample sofas, crystal and steel tables.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lighting as a furnishing and colour design to artfully illuminate rooms, patios and suites. Ideal fusion of shapes and colours that reinterpret the joy of living in a riad with Arabic-Andalusian charm, in the heart of the Marrakech medina, with &lt;strong&gt;Made in Italy&lt;/strong&gt; excellence, originality and design.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INFINITY SEA HOUSE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SIDI BEN SLIMANE DERB IHIHANE 25&lt;br /&gt;MARRAKECH&lt;br /&gt;MAROCCO&lt;br /&gt;TEL: +212 524 386 890&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:infinitysea@menara.ma"&gt;infinitysea@menara.ma&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-7121784385824311577?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/7121784385824311577/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=7121784385824311577' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/7121784385824311577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/7121784385824311577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/04/infinity-sea-house.html' title='Infinity Sea House (Morocco)'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SfbT5yGLBwI/AAAAAAAABAY/QKsiaLXYzpE/s72-c/Riad+Infinity+Sea.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-2352050911297945273</id><published>2009-04-21T09:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-27T01:26:47.439-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bermuda'/><title type='text'>Tucker's Point Hotel &amp; Spa</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Se4IVnjXQZI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/CiDNc9qotJs/s1600-h/Beach+Club.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 82px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327204576713458066" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Se4IVnjXQZI/AAAAAAAAA_Y/CiDNc9qotJs/s200/Beach+Club.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; È stato appena inaugurato a &lt;strong&gt;Bermuda&lt;/strong&gt; il nuovo e &lt;strong&gt;lussuoso resort&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Tucker’s Point Hotel &amp;amp; Spa&lt;/strong&gt; situato proprio sul mare e a soli dieci minuti dall’aeroporto internazionale.

Perché è incredibile come cambi la prospettiva quando l’aereo non diventa un mezzo di trasporto ma una “casa”. Gli spazi si trasformano, e senza i sedili per i passeggeri l’effetto è spiazzante. E affascinante.

Era stato realizzato in origine per la Singapore Airlines e ha successivamente volato per la leggendaria Pan Am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;A really very special way to spend a night in Stockholm! From the mid of January, hostel guests are, for the first time ever, able to spend the night in a real, seasoned &lt;strong&gt;Jumbo Jet&lt;/strong&gt; – on the ground! This is the perfect way to start your trip abroad. The plane is a used out jumbo jet model 747-200 made in 1976 for Singapore Airlines and later served with the legendary Pan Am.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;It has been awarded a brand new, modern &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/ScOKtLe8CWI/AAAAAAAAA2s/o2KCBtpfdOM/s1600-h/JumboHostel2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315244494008617314" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 137px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/ScOKtLe8CWI/AAAAAAAAA2s/o2KCBtpfdOM/s200/JumboHostel2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;interior decoration, offering night guests an experience apart. It’s exciting for aviation enthusiasts and families with children as well as for business people. This exhilarating experience leaves no-one indifferent, I promise!&lt;br /&gt;In December 2007, Sigtuna authorities granted a building permit for establishing &lt;strong&gt;Jumbo Hostel&lt;/strong&gt; at the entrance to Arlanda airport. In January 2008, the aircraft was moved to a construction site parking where the first phase of the conversion has begun with the dismantling of the old interior, new paint and new decorations for the rooms. 450 seats are taken out and the plane is sanitized in its entirety. The hostel is built like any house, subjected to the same demands on climate control and isolation. It adheres to all common energy standards. Heating is achieved with an air-air inverter.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JUMBO HOSTEL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ARLANDA AIRPORT&lt;br /&gt;STOCCOLMA&lt;br /&gt;TEL: +46 (0)8-593 604 00&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:booking@jumbohostel.com"&gt;booking@jumbohostel.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-7223384469533819394?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/7223384469533819394/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=7223384469533819394' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/7223384469533819394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/7223384469533819394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/03/jumbo-hostel.html' title='Jumbo Hostel'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/ScOKod3ia-I/AAAAAAAAA2k/E840mASu8pE/s72-c/JumboHostel.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-817204727667095592</id><published>2009-03-20T01:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-21T03:10:58.991-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stoccolma'/><title type='text'>Birger Jarl Hotel</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/ScNOaHBRnjI/AAAAAAAAA2U/d0izmk0p2gc/s1600-h/Birger+Jarl2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315178195695279666" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 190px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/ScNOaHBRnjI/AAAAAAAAA2U/d0izmk0p2gc/s200/Birger+Jarl2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Prende il nome dal fondatore di Stoccolma il &lt;strong&gt;Birger Jarl&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Hotel&lt;/strong&gt;(Jarl significa capitano, titolo che fu dato nel 1248 a Birger Magnusson di Bjalbo da re Erik XI). Realizzato in puro design svedese è situato nel centro della capitale, all’interno del triangolo compreso tra Stureplan, Hotorget e Jarlaplan.&lt;br /&gt;E basta entrare in questo hotel per capire subito quanto sia pieno di sorprese proprio grazie all’atmosfera che vi si respira con quel mix senza alcun dubbio riuscito tra tradizione, come il rosso della lobby che si rifà a uno stile old-fashion, e l’eccellenza del miglior &lt;strong&gt;design svedese&lt;/strong&gt; attuale con le sue forme pulite e i toni chiari degli arredi che si amalgamano alle perfezione con punte di colore acceso. Un risultato davvero eccellente grazie a quegli architetti e designer chiamati giocare con la loro creatività per realizzare un albergo davvero unico sia negli spazi comuni che in alcune camere e suite.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Una moltitudine di oggetti e di soluzioni d’arredo da osservare con attenzione, perché qui niente deve passare &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/ScNOVufpZII/AAAAAAAAA2M/3l3ROg2BLIA/s1600-h/hotel+Birger+Jarl.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315178120392303746" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 189px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/ScNOVufpZII/AAAAAAAAA2M/3l3ROg2BLIA/s200/hotel+Birger+Jarl.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;in secondo piano. Ogni dettaglio diventa a suo modo protagonista. E se il Birger Jarl è un vero e proprio trionfante inno alla nazione, non poteva essere altrimenti anche il &lt;strong&gt;ristorante Conservatory&lt;/strong&gt; dove sono proposti piatti dell’antica cucina del luogo se pur rivisitati in maniera contemporanea.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The name of this hotel is borrowed from the founder of Stockholm, Birger Jarl (Jarl is the title that Birger Magnusson of Bjalbo received from king Erik XI in 1248). As soon as you step in through the main entrance, you will see that &lt;strong&gt;Birger Jarl&lt;/strong&gt; is an hotel that is full of surprises.

Inside, it ’s a place for people who appreciate a diversity of excellent design and who take pleasure in.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;When you visit it, however, you will notice at once that the hotel combines these traditions with innovative thinking and considerate service, as well as the best that modern &lt;strong&gt;Swedish design&lt;/strong&gt; has&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/ScNOf361XCI/AAAAAAAAA2c/3HNHFD8lJJU/s1600-h/hotel+Birger+Jarl1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315178294720945186" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 196px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 187px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/ScNOf361XCI/AAAAAAAAA2c/3HNHFD8lJJU/s200/hotel+Birger+Jarl1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to offer.. The traditional red tone of the walls in the lobby recalls old-fashioned Swedish colour schemes, while each object within it has a modern feel. You will be surrounded by a highly creative atmosphere. Lobby, livings and all room categories, whether standard, business or signature, are designed to unite functionality and aesthetic appeal offering a multitude of different items to observe and examine.

Il risultato è un benessere che si manifesta anche nel più piccolo dettaglio, con un prezioso contrappunto tra la monocromia post-minimal e l’accento degli elementi con il colore dell’oro.&lt;br /&gt;Uno spazio originale e raffinato privo di eccessi o forzature, in grado di soddisfare le &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbaCkzARKdI/AAAAAAAAA0E/O2t4PwET-eI/s1600-h/HH_60%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311576379208313298" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 178px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 152px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbaCkzARKdI/AAAAAAAAA0E/O2t4PwET-eI/s200/HH_60%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;esigenze dei viaggiatori che vogliono ritrovare l’atmosfera di casa in una delle città più suggestive al mondo.&lt;br /&gt;Tema conduttore dell’Hotel Home Florence è il bianco, il colore che contiene tutti gli altri, utilizzato con un candore che gioca tra l’innocenza e la ricercatezza, immergendo da subito l’ospite in un’atmosfera unica.&lt;br /&gt;La vista, con l’immacolata alternanza degli arredi e lo scenario inimitabile della città con il profilo più bello del mondo, visibile dall’esclusiva terrazza panoramica. Il gusto, con la cucina che, ancora, coniuga la semplicità della gastronomia &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbaCgdE4oxI/AAAAAAAAAz8/G_PLYwj3vlg/s1600-h/HH_49%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311576304602620690" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 186px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 140px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbaCgdE4oxI/AAAAAAAAAz8/G_PLYwj3vlg/s200/HH_49%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;casalinga con la perfezione dell’alta cucina. E, di nuovo, il tatto, nell’area dedicata al servizio massaggi all’interno della piccola palestra dove è possibile avere lezioni private di yoga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The&lt;strong&gt; Hotel Home Florence&lt;/strong&gt; was created through the first-rate refurbishment of an historic palazzo in Piazza Piave, overlooking the Arno river, in the city that is the cradle of Renaissance art and architecture. Thanks to its accomplished integration of the new design with the pre-existing building, this &lt;strong&gt;luxury&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;hotel &lt;/strong&gt;encapsulates a superior synthesis of &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbaCbwVb-CI/AAAAAAAAAz0/Dg2EFYLICXQ/s1600-h/h3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311576223872972834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 190px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 158px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbaCbwVb-CI/AAAAAAAAAz0/Dg2EFYLICXQ/s200/h3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;the culture and history of the entire city with the modern world.&lt;br /&gt;Through the sincerity of the materials used and the richness of the design, the style of the interiors expresses the pleasure of a welcome that is both given and received. The result is a feeling of wellbeing that manifests itself in even the smallest details, with an impressive counterpoint between the post-minimal monochrome colour scheme and the accent provided by the gold-coloured elements.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The colour white is the underlying theme of this hotel, which is used with a candour that walks the line between innocence and refinement, immediately immersing the guest in a unique atmosphere.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOTEL HOME FLORENCE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;PIAZZA PIAVE 3&lt;br /&gt;FIRENZE&lt;br /&gt;TEL. +39-055 24 36 68&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:info@hhflorence.it"&gt;info@hhflorence.it&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-1395891344458362882?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/1395891344458362882/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=1395891344458362882' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/1395891344458362882'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/1395891344458362882'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/03/hotel-home-florence.html' title='Hotel Home Florence'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbaCXTY4CRI/AAAAAAAAAzs/GI6HA4rmGmw/s72-c/h1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-8493751862018192260</id><published>2009-03-09T02:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-13T04:05:27.659-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Italia mare'/><title type='text'>Villa Rosmarino (Camogli)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbTilSv5DjI/AAAAAAAAAzk/CGovnxLAa9M/s1600-h/villa4.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311118990892404274" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 165px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbTilSv5DjI/AAAAAAAAAzk/CGovnxLAa9M/s200/villa4.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Una &lt;strong&gt;maison de charme&lt;/strong&gt; per godersi il mare. &lt;strong&gt;Villa Rosmarino&lt;/strong&gt;, casa ottocentesca arrampicata su una collina sovrastante &lt;strong&gt;Camogli&lt;/strong&gt;, sul Monte di Portofino e a picco sul Golfo Paradiso, assicura ai suoi ospiti una vacanza speciale. Parola d’ordine: relax, serenità e la sensazione di tornare un po’ indietro nel tempo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Un luogo che offre la “possibilità di un isola” a tutti coloro che non sopportano di abbandonare la città per essere catapultati nel caos di una vacanza pacchetto completo. Questo, almeno, è lo spirito con cui i due proprietari, Fulvio e Mario, hanno comprato e ristrutturato Villa Rosmarino. Regalare a loro stessi, ai loro amici e agli ospiti una casa unica.&lt;br /&gt;Colore dominante il beige lino. Una tonalità neutra che è riproposta nel colore delle pareti, nella laccatura delle porte, nelle &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbTigqEKuCI/AAAAAAAAAzc/3yEXLiXOi7E/s1600-h/villa3.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311118911252117538" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 191px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 143px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbTigqEKuCI/AAAAAAAAAzc/3yEXLiXOi7E/s200/villa3.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;resine e nei marmi dei bagni con i pavimenti sempre dai toni impalpabili in parquet di teak a listoni. In qualche piano si possono ritrovare i pavimenti originali in graniglia di marmo alla genovese. Le camere da letto sono poche per garantire maggiore tranquillità e un servizio accurato in ogni dettaglio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Pezzi di arredamento di design alle opere di artisti contemporanei italiani e internazionali caratterizzano i singoli ambienti. La colazione, che nelle giornate più fresche è servita in sala da pranzo e in quelle estive in giardino, è speciale: focaccia genovese, dolci fatti in casa, marmellate e mieli raffinati.&lt;br /&gt;A Villa Rosmarino si può fare di tutto. Dormire, il silenzio è “assordante”, rosolarsi nei lettini al bordo della &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbThayXtf4I/AAAAAAAAAzU/zTv-WZ4LaSQ/s1600-h/villa1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311117710890729346" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 191px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 152px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SbThayXtf4I/AAAAAAAAAzU/zTv-WZ4LaSQ/s200/villa1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;piscina&lt;/strong&gt; con acqua a sfioro, riposare nelle zone d’ombra del giardino con terrazze e pergole, approfittare di un massaggiatore professionista e anche fare un mare diverso. A disposizione degli ospiti un elegante &lt;strong&gt;gozzo&lt;/strong&gt; per scoprire il gusto di un tuffo nelle acque cristalline di Camogli, San Fruttuoso e Portofino.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;A magical experience!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Villa Rosmarino&lt;/strong&gt; owned by Fulvio and Mario is located just above &lt;strong&gt;Camogli&lt;/strong&gt; on Mount Portofino, a protected area that stretches out into the open sea, a natural border between the Golfo Paradiso and Golfo del Tigullio.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The large garden of Villa Rosmarino surrounds the house in a typical Ligurian fashion. A magnolia tree and some chamelias spread their fragrance on the Mount side, while climbing roses, gardenias, pomegranate trees and geraniums will lead your walk toward the swimming pool area.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lemon, tangerine and grapefruit trees bloom right outside the large opening doors of the living room while the lavender and rosemary bordered lawn that surrounds the swimming poll hosts the old mill grindstone and an ancient retorted fig tree. Guests can admire these colours while comfortably sunbathing on the lounge chairs and beds around the large &lt;strong&gt;swimming pool&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The villa's interiors are defined by modern furnishing and Italian design.

Il moderno arredo, opera dell’architetto fiorentino Guido Ciompi, è il frutto di un design inconfondibile per l'estremo gusto e distinzione.&lt;br /&gt;In questo &lt;strong&gt;boutique-hotel &lt;/strong&gt;tutto è studiato nel minimo dettaglio con un gioco di abbinamenti di colori davvero sorprendente. Le luci d'ambiente e le linee sobrie e squisite che rendono gradevole la sosta nella hall caratterizzata da un materasso fucsia sospeso al soffitto, nel piccolo ma accogliente bar o nei salotti, sono adatti per la loro atmosfera tranquilla ad una pausa distensiva con gli amici.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sav_sktUKXI/AAAAAAAAAys/gN3cxyF_WEE/s1600-h/11.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308617727019329906" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 159px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sav_sktUKXI/AAAAAAAAAys/gN3cxyF_WEE/s200/11.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le 21 camere sono state create in 21 stili diversi pur presentando tutte un filo conduttore nelle forme dei mobili in legno d’ebano, nei tessuti e nelle pelli color avorio. Due delle suite hanno la palestra privata, mentre altre due hanno la sauna. Al &lt;strong&gt;G Bar&lt;/strong&gt; il bancone è stato realizzato in vetro bianco volutamente in contrasto con il ristorante &lt;strong&gt;Le Noir&lt;/strong&gt; che si distingue per i tavoli laccati in nero e la tappezzeria in velluto dello stesso colore. Una raffinata cucina con piatti di terra e di pesce della tradizione italiana rivisitati con originalità e piatti della cucina internazionale.&lt;br /&gt;Insomma, un hotel raffinato, confortevole e piccolo a tal punto da fare sentire la clientela proprio come fosse a casa. Un’alternativa valida per chi desidera fuggire dal grande albergo, spesso impersonale e caotico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Gray Hotel&lt;/strong&gt; is located in the hearth of &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sav_wXJvvQI/AAAAAAAAAy0/KiCQ5q0rvg0/s1600-h/12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308617792099958018" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 169px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 199px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sav_wXJvvQI/AAAAAAAAAy0/KiCQ5q0rvg0/s200/12.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Milan, very close to the Duomo, teatro alla Scala and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, an important meeting point, with its elegant shops, coffee and tea houses. It is one of the most appreciated 5 star hotels in Milan: the perfect setting for people who love charm and luxury.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The modern furnishings of the hall, its design expressly studied, the other public reception rooms and the 21 bedrooms (2 with the gym and 2 with the sauna) created by the Florentine architect Guido Ciompi, welcome guests with the warmth of the lighting and quiet distinction. In the restaurant "&lt;strong&gt;Le Noir&lt;/strong&gt;", very famous for its style, customers can choose between meat or fish menu. One can enjoy tasty dishes from its creatively revisited Mediterranean cuisine and an international cuisine, accompanied by excellent wines. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Recommended for business lunch or brunch too.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE GRAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VIA SAN RAFFAELE 6&lt;br /&gt;MILANO&lt;br /&gt;TEL: +39-02 72 08 951&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:info.thegray@sinahotels.com"&gt;info.thegray@sinahotels.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-3793810895481003629?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/3793810895481003629/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=3793810895481003629' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/3793810895481003629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/3793810895481003629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/03/gray-hotel.html' title='The Gray Hotel'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sav_ooY_ZqI/AAAAAAAAAyk/x6E129lYkVM/s72-c/10.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-3788932982452080120</id><published>2009-03-02T02:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-18T06:55:13.921-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Montreal'/><title type='text'>Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sauz0HDK4VI/AAAAAAAAAyU/c7ChQfBtvVc/s1600-h/image%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308534293613175122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 198px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 152px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sauz0HDK4VI/AAAAAAAAAyU/c7ChQfBtvVc/s200/image%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Quaranta anni fa, John Lennon e Yoko si chiusero dal 26 Maggio al 02 Giugno nella suite 1742 del &lt;strong&gt;Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth Hotel&lt;/strong&gt; di Montreal per il Bed-in in favore della Pace.&lt;br /&gt;In quei memorabili giorni del 1969, la famosa coppia decise di restare a letto per una settimana per promuovere la pace, contro la Guerra in Vietnam, un evento che calamitò l’attenzione di tutta la stampa del mondo. Il risultato di questo Bed-In fu la composizione della famosa canzone Give Peace A Chance, il 01 giugno 1969.&lt;br /&gt;Nel corso degli anni, milioni di ospiti hanno trascorso il loro soggiorno nella John Lennon Suite, dove nonostante i restauri, resta ancora la straordinaria magia di quella settimana del 69. &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sauzm7zjqPI/AAAAAAAAAyM/U0DypWYZJRs/s1600-h/QEH-074.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308534067256600818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 194px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 168px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sauzm7zjqPI/AAAAAAAAAyM/U0DypWYZJRs/s200/QEH-074.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Diversi articoli, i dischi d’oro vinti dalla canzone e le fotografie della coppia nel mitico letto decorano la suite in testimonianza dell’evento.&lt;br /&gt;In occasione del 40° anniversario del Bed-In, il museo d’arte di Montreal ospiterà la mostra Imagine, con opere d’arte di Yoko Ono, fotografie, dischi e filmati dedicati al grande mito.&lt;br /&gt;Il Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth propone per l’anniversario il pacchetto Imagine: una notte presso l’hotel, cd con Give Peace a Chance, colazione in camera per due persone o a buffet nel ristorante &lt;strong&gt;Le Montréalais&lt;/strong&gt; e una copia della lirica Give Peace a Chance.

In the U.S. alone, 350 radio stations carried reports on the world’s best known peaceniks, who wanted to get their message out to all those around the world already protesting against the war in Vietnam.&lt;br /&gt;The highlight of this unique event was Lennon’s composition of Give Peace A Chance on June 1st. He wrote the song on the spur of the moment and converted the suite into a recording studio under the direction of André Perry. Some 50 people contributed to the recording of the song, which was immediately broadcast worldwide. Celebrities included Tommy Smothers, Dr Timothy and Petula Clark.&lt;br /&gt;Over the years, thousands of guests have enjoyed staying in the John Lennon Suite. Since 1969, the suite has been refurbished several times, however, according to some guests, there remains a mystical aura throughout the room. The walls of the living room and bedroom feature memorabilia composed of press articles, framed gold records of Give Peace A Chance with music and lyrics, and pictures of the couple.&lt;br /&gt;Guests of Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth hotel are invited to mark the 40th anniversary by reliving the legend and experience their own bed-in with the Imagine package. It includes one night accommodation; One CD featuring Give Peace a Chance; Breakfast in bed for two or buffet breakfast in &lt;strong&gt;Le Montréalais&lt;/strong&gt; restaurant and a copy of the lyrics of Give Peace a Chance.

Circondato da un ampio giardino mediterraneo, l’hotel dispone di varie zone relax: sala lettura, piscina con solarium, verande.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Le camere sono 10 doppie di cui 1 deluxe e 3 superior arredate ciascu&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SakdWBJnScI/AAAAAAAAAxc/v6wSt--HRKk/s1600-h/a7.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307805899935926722" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 180px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 121px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SakdWBJnScI/AAAAAAAAAxc/v6wSt--HRKk/s200/a7.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;na in modo diverso. La Deluxe si caratterizza per le dimensioni e un design particolarmente curato ed è l’unica con vasca. Le due Superior al primo piano godono di un senso di privacy e tranquillità e si affacciano una sul fiume Anapo, l’altra sul porto di Siracusa con Ortigia sullo sfondo. Una delle Superior al pian terreno è dotata di Macintosh Computer. La maggior parte delle standard insieme alla Deluxe hanno un piccolo deck dedicato all’ingresso. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Il progetto architettonico di restauro dei fabbricati che la compongono, mediante l’utilizzo di soluzioni originali e &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sakc1jHod0I/AAAAAAAAAxE/P26DtgZQAcA/s1600-h/a8.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307805342118737730" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 193px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 144px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sakc1jHod0I/AAAAAAAAAxE/P26DtgZQAcA/s200/a8.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;alternative, ha mantenuto intatte le murature originali, consolidate e bonificate. All’interno trionfano geometrie, colori dalle tinte tenui ma decise esaltati da tagli di luce studiati con un arredamento armonioso di artigianato, design moderno e antiquariato. Innumerevoli i particolari sfiziosi: il barocco siciliano accostato a linee essenziali, bagni curati nei dettagli con ampie docce e lavabi da appoggio&lt;br /&gt;All'interno dell'hotel, il piccolo ed esclusivo ristorante &lt;strong&gt;Zafferano Bistrot&lt;/strong&gt; il cui chef Massimo Giaquinta propone una cucina creativa dai sapori tipici della tradizione siciliana &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SakcuzHVs0I/AAAAAAAAAw8/CqBjiCYYS2M/s1600-h/a9.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307805226153390914" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 180px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 126px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SakcuzHVs0I/AAAAAAAAAw8/CqBjiCYYS2M/s200/a9.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;rivisitati ed aggiornati prestando particolare attenzione alla scelta di ingredienti locali di alta qualità.&lt;br /&gt;Gli antichi bagli si sono trasformati in ampie verande pavimentate in legno di Iroko. Il giardino è strutturato in funzione della circostante area fluviale a ridosso dell’ Anapo: piante di bambù ed erbette selvatiche ai limiti con la vegetazione spontanea cedono il posto ad aiuole con piante aromatiche, angoli di macchia mediterranea ed un ampio prato a ridosso della piscina.&lt;br /&gt;Credetemi, il &lt;strong&gt;comfort&lt;/strong&gt;, l’&lt;strong&gt;eleganza&lt;/strong&gt;, e la &lt;strong&gt;tranquillità&lt;/strong&gt; fanno del Caol Ishka un angolo di paradiso, situato in una zona ricca di spiagge, punti di interesse culturale e riserve naturali da non perdere.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Overlooking the natural port of Siracusa, &lt;strong&gt;Caol Ishka Hotel&lt;/strong&gt; is located on the bank of the river Anapo only 2km away from the historical Ortigia. Contemporary design by Roberto Gallo meets the charm of an old Sicilian Masseria. Surrounded by a large Mediterranean garden, guests can relax in the solarium by the swimming pool or on private patios.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas outside has maintained a traditional feel, inside one can find white and natural oak beam roofs alternated with white ceilings; warm colours for walls and floorings in coloured resin and different hardwoods.&lt;br /&gt;Bathrooms are spacious and comfortable, characterised by designer washbasins and large walk-in showers with Iroko decking and glass walls. Oversized doors have been crafted by local artisans with various finishes: bisazza mosaic, mirrors, fabrics, gold leaf.&lt;br /&gt;Believe me, &lt;strong&gt;beautiful surroundings&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;tranquillity&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;comfort&lt;/strong&gt; make Caol Ishka an ideal retreat within easy reach of beaches, cultural spots and natural reserves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CAOL ISHKA HOTEL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VIA BRENTA 65&lt;br /&gt;SIRACUSA&lt;br /&gt;TEL: +39-0931 69 057&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:info@coalishka.com"&gt;info@coalishka.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-4350197481057672766?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/4350197481057672766/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=4350197481057672766' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/4350197481057672766'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/4350197481057672766'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/02/caol-ishka-hotel.html' title='Hotel Caol Ishka'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SakdABOKCcI/AAAAAAAAAxU/Et0kNwzb7qg/s72-c/a6.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-6373690436485511615</id><published>2009-02-27T01:49:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-21T11:00:12.501-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bahamas'/><title type='text'>Compass Point Beach Resort</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sae3Uw_4FyI/AAAAAAAAAwk/Vwtd1jhCgYw/s1600-h/01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307412253257504546" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 191px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 154px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sae3Uw_4FyI/AAAAAAAAAwk/Vwtd1jhCgYw/s200/01.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Un caleidoscopio di colori per il &lt;strong&gt;Compass Point Beach Resort&lt;/strong&gt; a Bahamas, a soli dieci minuti dall’aeroporto internazionale e dalla cittadina di Nassau. Adiacente a Love Beach questo boutique hotel davvero particolare è composto da 18 capanni e cottage a due piani che posseggono il bagliore dei colori tipici del caldo dei &lt;strong&gt;Caraibi&lt;/strong&gt; contornati dal verde vivo del giardino perfettamente curato.&lt;br /&gt;Il luogo ideale per trascorrere un vacanza al sole in totale relax per tutti coloro che apprezzano la semplicità e la comodità, ma con un tocco di romanticismo.

Nei due bar è possibile gustare un aperitivo alla luce del tramonto o un drink dopo cena ammirando l’orizzonte di un mare senza fine. E per chi desidera momenti di assoluto romanticismo nella più totale privacy ecco che il &lt;strong&gt;resort&lt;/strong&gt; vi organizzerà una cena sul terrazzo della vostra camera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Located only 10 minutes from Nassau International Airport, &lt;strong&gt;Compass Point Beach Resort&lt;/strong&gt; is a boutique hotel situated on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Adjacent to Love Beach, the resort encompasses the Island’s flavour and culture with 18 brightly coloured huts lining the cobblestone walkways. While withdrawn from the hustle and bustle of &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sae3dTQQrxI/AAAAAAAAAw0/Fk5OnuGBfNA/s1600-h/03.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307412399891984146" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 186px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 151px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/Sae3dTQQrxI/AAAAAAAAAw0/Fk5OnuGBfNA/s200/03.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;downtown, it is still within easy access to Cable Beach and downtown Nassau.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;It's the perfect place for a relaxing getaway for those who value simplicity, comfort and romance. From the outside they display a bright array of colour, but when you step into one of the 18 huts, a calming effect takes over your body. White washed walls with natural wood floors and brightly coloured accents give each room a comfortable and simple feel. For your romantic moments the rooms have private patios, balconies or porches facing the ocean. Drift off to sleep each night with the soothing sounds of the waves rolling ashore.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The restaurant offers delicious Bahamian cuisine along with many International delights.

Una vera e propria cultura in grado di rispondere alle nuove esigenze degli ospiti.&lt;br /&gt;Massaggi, trattamenti estetici, termali e di fitness vengono sapientemente miscelati per aiutare l’ospite a ritrovare il proprio benessere: attraverso trattamenti rigeneranti in grado di restituire piacere e bellezza, ma anche con consulenze mediche e programmi personalizzati per migliorare la qualità della propria vita. Un luogo all’insegna del piacere multisensoriale, che con i suoi 60 ambienti per trattamenti mette ogni ospite nelle condizioni ideali per ascoltarsi e ritrovarsi. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ma non è tutto, Terme di Saturnia offre infatti anche un esclusivo campo da &lt;strong&gt;Golf &lt;/strong&gt;progettato dall’architetto Ronald Fream con un percorso 18 buche concepito nel totale rispetto delle norme per la salvaguardia della natura locale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Terme di Saturnia Spa &amp;amp; Golf Resort&lt;/strong&gt; is a luxury wellness hotel located at the foot of Saturnia in the heart of tuscan Maremma country.

Every tiniest detail - from flooring to lighting and choice of fabrics - has been thought through to create an atmosphere of total well-being.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;There's an impressive Roman bath, sauna and steam bath, while the original spring feeds our thermal park of hot-water swimming pools, waterfalls, Jacuzzi and waterways. Terme di Saturnia Spa &amp;amp; Golf Resort has created a prestigious &lt;strong&gt;golf course&lt;/strong&gt; specially designed for those who like to play in the midst of nature. Conceived by the famous architect Ronald Fream, this professional - standard 18 - hole course has been researched to avoid rough terrain and the need for near-impossible swings.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;TERME DI SATURNIA SPA &amp;amp; RESORT&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;SATURNIA&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;GROSSETO&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;TEL: +39-0564 60 01 11&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:info@termedisaturnia.it"&gt;info@termedisaturnia.it&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6473741171584330793-7625089406778655121?l=coolreviews2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/feeds/7625089406778655121/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6473741171584330793&amp;postID=7625089406778655121' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/7625089406778655121'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6473741171584330793/posts/default/7625089406778655121'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coolreviews2.blogspot.com/2009/02/terme-di-saturnia-spa-resort.html' title='Terme di Saturnia Spa &amp; Resort'/><author><name>Cool Reviews</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07665748323830609251</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZvTXxPHeiI/AAAAAAAAAt8/GLAWxL6wqkc/s72-c/a2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6473741171584330793.post-2128269102041718641</id><published>2009-02-17T07:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T00:59:22.569-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Genova'/><title type='text'>Bentley Hotel</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZrasTRVlVI/AAAAAAAAAtc/sTixenNQCqE/s1600-h/a1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303791965804270930" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 165px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 144px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZrasTRVlVI/AAAAAAAAAtc/sTixenNQCqE/s200/a1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Il &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Hotel&lt;/strong&gt; della &lt;strong&gt;THI Collection&lt;/strong&gt; è il nuovo ed unico &lt;strong&gt;albergo&lt;/strong&gt; a 5 stelle di Genova situato nell’edificio realizzato nel 1929 dall’architetto Giuseppe Crosa di Vergagni che in passato fu sede dell’Ilva, la maggiore industria siderurgica italiana. Gli interventi di ristrutturazione sono stati effettuati nel rispetto dei valori architettonici e nella salvaguardia dei canoni stilistici dell’epoca originaria in particolare per le facciate principali rimaste pressoché inalterate, ed eliminando tutte le trasformazioni apportate nel corso dei decenni.&lt;br /&gt;Ad accogliere gli ospiti un ingresso a cui è stata ripristinata la forma &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZra2Vm3fuI/AAAAAAAAAts/SSseR1CX8i4/s1600-h/a3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303792138230136546" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 161px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 198px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZra2Vm3fuI/AAAAAAAAAts/SSseR1CX8i4/s200/a3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;ottagonale originale mantenendone la pavimentazione esistente in marmi policromi ad intarsio con disegno geometrico, in cui sono evidenti i simboli del lavoro in fonderia, ovvero il martello, il maglio e la pinza. L’atmosfera luminosa e fresca delle camere mantiene una connotazione di &lt;strong&gt;eleganza&lt;/strong&gt; e &lt;strong&gt;lusso&lt;/strong&gt; resa ancora più particolare dalle fotografie di artisti contemporanei alle pareti. Tre le nuance di colore: platino, titanio e rame, su cui giocano le cromie degli arredi e dei mobili disegnati ad hoc per l’hotel. Lusso che si ritrova anche nei bagni rivestiti in marmo nelle varietà bianco cristallino e antique brown.&lt;br /&gt;Il sesto ed ultimo piano è dedicato a camere e &lt;strong&gt;suite&lt;/strong&gt; con terrazza panoramica sulla città tra cui quella denominata Newport in cui oltre all’esclusività degli arredi ha una vasca idromassaggio privata sul terrazzo attrezzato mentre il bagno è arricchito &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZrayJ-ITNI/AAAAAAAAAtk/SxbM-XKYOgg/s1600-h/a2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303792066387004626" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 163px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 143px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZrayJ-ITNI/AAAAAAAAAtk/SxbM-XKYOgg/s200/a2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;da una piccola area fitness e una doccia con idrogetti.&lt;br /&gt;Il &lt;strong&gt;Ristorante Grace&lt;/strong&gt;, impreziosito da “Icone di luce” una suggestiva installazione dell’artista milanese Silvio Wolf, propone piatti legati al territorio creati dallo chef Salvatore Di Carlo legati che ama unire i sapori e gli aromi della Liguria ai piaceri della cucina internazionale di tradizione. Situato al piano terra e separato dalla hall da ampie vetrate ecco il lounge bar Norman che offre una piacevole pausa in ogni momento della giornata. E per momenti di assoluto relax la &lt;strong&gt;Wellness Club Azure&lt;/strong&gt; di circa 200 mq mette a disposizione della clientela una piscina ludica, vasca idromassaggio a getti d’acqua, bagno turco, doccia tropicale e nebulizzata, e area fitness.&lt;br /&gt;(Photo: S. Lombardi Vallauri)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Bentley Hotel&lt;/strong&gt; is the new five-star hotel in Genoa, located in the city centre in what used to be the headquarters of Ilva, Italy’s biggest iron and steel manufacturer. The building which hosts the hotel was designed by Genoese architect Giuseppe Crosa di Vergagni in 1929 and has now been brought back to life by a complete makeover, welcoming guests in the exclusive Carignano district just steps away from the city’s business and financial centre, the Teatro Carlo Felice and the Genoa Aquarium.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Grace Restaurant&lt;/strong&gt;, à la carte dining place, strongly linked to the regional cuisine, and the hotel’s Lounge Bar are pleasant meeting places in the heart of Genoa open to the whole city. Classic and imposing on the outside, modern, &lt;strong&gt;luxury&lt;/strong&gt; and elegant in its furnishings, the Bentley Hotel is the ideal venue for business travellers and for short holiday stays, also for the entire family.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The light and freshness of the rooms combine with the warm colours of the fabrics in platinum, titanium and copper tones. Delicate hues for luxurious quarters that are also found in the bathrooms, done in fine crystal white and antique brown marble. All 99 rooms and &lt;strong&gt;suites&lt;/strong&gt; of the hotel feature waxed natural oak floors and are equipped with all the conveniences. Immersed in a modern, luxurious setting, they are enriched with authentic photograph works by internationally renowned artists. For moments of sheer relaxation or workouts aimed at achieving perfect physical shape, the &lt;strong&gt;Wellness Club Azure&lt;/strong&gt; of approximately 200 m2 puts at guests’ disposal that features an exercise pool, water jet hydromassage tub, Turkish bath, tropical and mist showers and a fitness area with the latest equipment.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Photo: S.

È l'&lt;strong&gt;Hotel Amigo (Rocco Forte Collection)&lt;/strong&gt; adiacente ad una delle piazze più belle d'Europa, la Grand Place, nelle vicinanze del quartiere finanziario della città e a pochi passi dall'antico quartiere Le Sablon e per questo considerato un ottimo punto di partenza per esplorare la capitale belga.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Aperto negli anni Sessanta, ma recentemente ristrutturato, il nuovo design dell’&lt;strong&gt;albergo&lt;/strong&gt; è tradizionale con influenze moderne e un’atmosfera fiamminga. Tutte le 174 camere, tra cui 18 suite, sono spaziose e arredate con grande eleganza grazie anche all’uso di tessuti preziosi e complementi d’arredo dal design contemporaneo che le rendono luminose e al tempo stesso accoglienti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;E anche il panorama che si ammira è davvero &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZmieQTi7nI/AAAAAAAAAtE/c8Pd4m5hTkc/s1600-h/a1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303448676862193266" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 157px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 160px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZmieQTi7nI/AAAAAAAAAtE/c8Pd4m5hTkc/s200/a1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;unico, se alcune camere hanno la vista sulla Grand Place altre si aprono sui tetti e le guglie delle chiese della città. Bagni di buone dimensioni contenenti mosaici in rosso o verde si intonano perfettamente con i ripiani della toilette in marmo. Figure di Tintin o Snowy il cane ravvivano le pareti con un tocco di sofisticato humour.&lt;br /&gt;Ottimo il &lt;strong&gt;ristorante Bocconi&lt;/strong&gt; che propone una cucina mediterranea se pur rivisitata dalla creatività dello chef Vincenzo Regine che ama giocare con i profumi e i sapori della sua isola di origine, Ischia.

Superbly located in the very heart of the city, adjacent to one of the most beautiful squares in Europe, Grand Place, close to the financial district and within easy walking distance of the antiques district of Le Sablon, Hotel Amigo now provides a stylish and central base from which to explore the city.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Each one of the bedrooms and suites at Hotel Amigo are individual in style, spacious and luxurious, with some offering views towards Grand Place and others extensive views over the rooftops of Brussels.

È la &lt;strong&gt;Kami Spa&lt;/strong&gt; realizzata dagli architetti tailandesi Purananda e Pisanu della Pure Design Concepì che hanno ridisegnato gli spazi di un palazzo su cinque piani nel centro storico.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Legno, pietra, acqua, gli elementi che modulano i diversi ambienti: dieci stanze di trattamento singole e cinque suite, una vasca onsen, un beauty salon, bagni turchi e uno &lt;strong&gt;shop&lt;/strong&gt;, per un totale di 1500 metri quadri. La semplicità degli stili ne caratterizzano gli interni. Due pareti di acqua che scorre sul granito grigio accolgono l’ospite all’ingresso. Una giara oong, il più tradizionale contenitore per raccogliere l’acqua piovana con cui si dissetano i chaow-na che accudiscono le risaie della Tailandia, al centro di una vasca di marmo nero e ciotole di pietra sparse in diversi ambienti assicurano la presenza &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZla9RVs9FI/AAAAAAAAAss/VCP0vVC88xY/s1600-h/c3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303370044878419026" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 192px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 140px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZla9RVs9FI/AAAAAAAAAss/VCP0vVC88xY/s200/c3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;dell’acqua ovunque. Le sculture che discretamente emergono dal taglio delle luci sono copie (e non originali per salvaguardare un patrimonio spesso sottratto all’Asia) in pietra di arte khmer. Gli unici decori originali, ma contemporanei, sono una tavola incisa raffigurante scene tratte dal Ramayana e dal Mahabharata dello scultore balinese Made Jojol e pannelli tradizionali che ornano le batak dell’isola di Sumatra. La creazione delle terapie e del menù sono opera di Rina Segal, israeliana di nascita, ma cresciuta tra Giappone e Cina, la cui conoscenza dell’oriente e delle tecniche di massaggio hanno permesso di realizzare una selezione di trattamenti innovativi, restando al contempo fedele alle metodologie di massaggio più antiche.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZlcXndFMyI/AAAAAAAAAs8/ELomEey154c/s1600-h/c1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303371597003174690" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 140px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0voxhpBiMlg/SZlcXndFMyI/AAAAAAAAAs8/ELomEey154c/s200/c1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Un menù ispirato alle aree geo-culturali che significativamente rappresentano l’Asia caratterizzano le varie proposte con le terapie che aderiscono a tecniche shiatsu (Giappone), ming (Cina), nuad-thai (Tailandia), jamu (Indonesia) e ayurveda (India). Alla base di questi massaggi si erge una delle concezioni primarie della medicina tradizionale cinese: corpo e psiche non sono mai separati, ma dipendono reciprocamente l’uno dall’altra.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;L’obiettivo di ciascuna terapia è ristabilire l’equilibrio tra queste due parti. Le manipolazioni sono sempre dolci, ma profonde per alleviare tensioni muscolari, mutare scorretti atteggiamenti posturali, tonificare e rilassare a secondo dei bisogni del corpo. Il massaggio shiatsu è quello classico Masunaga. Per le terapie cinesi è possibile scegliere tra il classico baguanfa o il tuina. Il nuad-thai proposto è la più innovativa revisione del classico massaggio tailandese in modo da ottenere uno stretching intenso e duraturo. Il balinese jamu racchiude tecniche cinesi e indiane. La terapia ayurvedica, “scienza della vita” per eccellenza nella cultura indiana, attraverso la valutazione dei singoli dosha aiuta a ritrovare lo stato naturale di ciascun individuo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Japan, China, Indonesia, Thailand and India. Different cultures, inspired the creation of &lt;strong&gt;Kami Spa&lt;/strong&gt; in the center of Rome. Each treatment is unique.
