Best Hotel you've stayed inFollow

I stayed a night at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. It was my prom night, in my hometown and it was magical. I can still remember the panties she wore.

For years afterward we'd return and walk around the lake or, rarely, have brunch for two hundred bucks.

A far cry from a castle, or in the heart of Paris, the two that stand out the most to me were:
The Langham Hotel in the heart of Boston, which I had the pleasure of staying last month and Hotel Providence in RI. We had a 3 room suite and I am fortunate to stay there again tomorrow night after I attend a wedding reception. Amid the feather soft quilts, and luxurious black marble and gold bathrooms, my favorite thing about this place is their to die for coffee and croissants in the morning.

The hotel Imaelia and I stayed at for our wedding night, the Hotel Monico in DC. Awesome jacuzzi huge tub thing was a plus, the fire alarms going off right before we were going to 'go to bed', not so great, but hey, gives us a story, right?

for the amount of money you spend to stay there I would hope you could do those things and more and they should continue to keep that plastered smile on their faces.

Although I did notice "looks" when I went out for a smoke, slightly tipsy and wearing heels for the first time. Tipsy and unaccustomed to 3.5" heels= the look of pure drunk.

This one for encouraging me to feel like the British Empire left something useful in India (other than beaurocracy and cricket). Service like you wouldn't believe. Sitting around in comfy chairs checkin out the Bollywood stars is a fine way of spending an afternoon.


This one in Singapore for similar reasons. Singapore Slings in the courtyard 'cos Kipling says so......

And this one in New Zealand 'cos I'm a hippy, and we got the most beautiful country in the world, bar none.

Honourable mention to this place in Rajastan, India. Probably the most romantic hotel in the world.

In no particular order:


Fontainebleu, the fucking best place to stay in Miami Beach, besides all those kitschy ArtDeco boutique motels, but they are renovating so I would wait until 2008 or so.

Mauna Lani. One of the places my wife and I honeymooned at, it was excellent.


The Westin Key West Resort Not far from Duval St., Sloppy Joe's and Hemingway's house which smells like cat ****,when you get there you will see why.

Gold Lake. Small cabins no TV/Internets, very rustic and excellent cuisine. A lot of nudity by the out door springs/hotubs near the lake.



And this place , which means I'm going to be going to this,Cheltenham Gold Cup, every couple of "two-tree" years, to see the world's greatest horseracing.

the atlantis resort on paridise island at nassau.

i promise you, none of you have stayed in better, i dont care where you come from. expensive, but well worth every penny. they even have a suite that is booked 24/7 that costs 15,000 grand a night with a 5 night minimum. comes with your own buttler, chef, limo and access to the helo pad.

average room costs, 250 to 500 a night plus 100 bucks per person per day for the food package. you WANT to buy the food package. 100 bucks will seem cheap after you pay 17 bucks for the hamburger and another 4 bucks if you want fries. what? a drink? 4 bucks for a soda. the average costs for the dinner, all 5 start resturants, and many to choose from, is around 100 bucks per person. the food package covers it all.

absolutly stunning. no one has ever built anything better any where.

The best hotel I've ever stayed in... I remember it was pretty big, nicely kept, had computers (It was a while ago...) and the pool room was amazing. I thought all the pools were connected, because the water was an inch deep all over the room. I thought it was the coolest thing. Then my mom ruined everything. She told the lady at the front desk who panicked because apparently the room was flooding, and it wasn't supposed to be really cool. I got sad.

I generally prefer smaller, bed and breakfast type establishments. A favorite is this one, in Somerset, UK. The guy who was running the place was a little frantic, but nice enough.

I've also stayed at a lovely Holiday Inn Express ;)

You seem pretty sure of yourself there, bucko.

Its not all about exhorbitant prices ya know? (You obviously dont)

Well said sir.

I've stayed in £15 a night B&B's overlooking Scottish Lochs that provided greater pleasure and memories than any of the 5 star swish places I've experienced.

And I've stayed in some $10 backpackers that have left me with diseases memories that I have tried to forget...... Pleasurable at the time tho...
