I love Tokyo, and it was such a pleasure to have lived there for 3-years. Hands down, the most interesting of the major world cities. And it keeps evolving and changing, it is always a new (and pleasant) experience to go to Tokyo. Tokyo (東京 Tōkyō) is the enormous and wealthy capital of Japan, and its main city, overflowing with … Read More
Endless Beauty and Mythical Adventure The Greek Aegean Sea includes over 4,000 islands and islets scattered in the Cyclades, Dodecanese and Sporades, of which only 200 (or so) islands are inhabited.

As with all Design Hotels, a great restaurant and a great bar as part of the property. The room had a wonderful view of the park … Read More
When coming from the airport, I asked our taxi driver if he knew about our hotel Roomers and if it was nice… he said it was nice, but very black. I wasn’t quite sure what he meant at the time, but now I do. It’s as if you took Prince in his Lovesexy period, and made it all Black, (in … Read More

A fun staff. A comfortable, attractive room and a great looking bathroom… all you need for a few days in Sydney. Great Bar and the restaurants … Read More

All the rooms I believe are basically Suites with a separate Bedroom and Living room, with Balconies facing to the Gardens. The restaurant was exceptional and also had a Wine Tasting bar adjacent to the hotel property. Breakfast was … Read More
