Friday, August 20, 2010The most anticipated hotel opening in London - W hotel London #1

Day -178

I know that maybe I came up with a very catchy headline but I genuinely thinks the W hotel in London is probably the most anticipated hotel opening in the English capital for a long time after the St Martin Lane.

Not only the hotel will be located in a prime location of Leicester Square by the Swiss clock but also would have all the movie premieres nearby.

We are still very far away from the opening which is scheduled to happen in early 2011 (February 14th 2011 says their website). The pictures of the site taken this week say it all.

The exterior seems quite minimalistic for now and reminds me of the W Boston in a way.

If you want to know the starting price, just go to their website as they already accept bookings from February 14th 2011. The king bedroom starts at £309 which seems to me very high for the 1st month of opening.

I have my doubts about whether they can stick to February for the grand opening.

So let's start a countdown and I will keep you updated about the progress of the development.

Can't wait to see this go up! Especially with a comparison to St. Martin's Lane. It's hard to top a good location- glad to see this one is well-situated.

I took a look at the location on the map- it's right around the corner from Jade Garden http://www.thepurplepassport.com/picks/London/Restaurant/jade-garden/ where there's a list & map of nearby places- good to know W hotel will be close to so many good eats, museums, shopping, etc... Like I said, location! location!

Thanks for keeping us updated!

Monday, August 09, 2010This Week In Hotels #6 (Twitter, Four Seasons, websites metrics, review of a hotel website)

In this week’s episode of This Week in Hotels, Josiah and I discuss:

Four Seasons only follows their other hotels on Twitter @fourseasons. What message does this send? Should you follow back everyone who follows you on Twitter?Why number of followers on Twitter isn’t the same thing as influence (an account with fewer followers may actually reach more people)Which website metrics are important to watch – and how to choose themThe numbers Josiah and I track for our own blogs, and how often we monitor themWebsite review: Why we think Room with a View such a great hotel destination blog (Plus: the importance of having a local writer for your blog)

Do you prefer the audio version to listen on the go? Grab the mp3 file here.

Please send in your comments, questions, or suggestions for next week’s show!

For those romantic escapes, Vietnam is the picture perfect destination. The most amazing thing about the place is its beauty and the way it fits each and every budget. I was overwhelmed with the hospitality and the way we were pampered during our stay at the Hotel Hanoi Joy. We availed with their Traditional Sailing Halong Tour for 3Days and 2Nights http://www.hanoijoyhotel.com/viewaboutuscat-3983-Tours.html. We explored the limestone islands and emerald green waters of UNESCO world heritage listed Halong Bay. I strongly recommend you to savor the best cuisine on board and go kayaking to enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the bay.

Back to work after a laidback holiday in the beautiful Vietnam. I just love that place. Beautiful islands, Halong Bay and my stay at the Hotel Hanoi Joy made the stay memorable. You can cruise in a luxury boat and visit the romantic islands, go swimming or boating or even enjoy the marine life at prices as low as US $110.
