The Philosophy of the Airport Hotel

One of the best airport hotels in the world was the Kempinski Munich, recently rebranded as a Hilton. Price aside (and price matters..) I’ll always pick the property connected to the terminal if there is one, followed by the most recently renovated hotel near the airport. I love airport hotels as a rewards member, where […]

Is The Park Hyatt New York Actually A Five Star Hotel? The Service Suggests Not…

Last night I wrapped up my third stay at the Park Hyatt New York -- I stayed there opening night last August, then again the night of Thanksgiving.

My first stay was fantastic, as you'd expect, given that this is supposedly the flagship Park Hyatt property worldwide. However, my second stay was less stellar, though I chalked it up to it being Thanksgiving, and figured the "B" team was working.
