Hotels
Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok
La Grande Dame Mandarin Oriental Bangkok is possibly one of the most beautiful hotels we have ever seen. The 5-star prettiness begins as soon as you turn into the driveway. When one enters the lobby, one is struck by the…
Hotel Jen, Puteri Harbour, Johor Bahru
Formerly known as Traders Hotel Puteri Harbour Now families holidaying in Iskandar have a decent place to stay overnight. Traders Hotel has opened a new hotel in Puteri Harbour, right next to Sanrio Hello Kitty Town. Traders Hotel is of…
Sofitel, Phnom Penh (Français)
Sofitel Phnom Penh prétend être un hôtel 5 étoiles, mais en fait il est plus proche d’un hôtel 4 étoiles. Je suis resté dans une Junior Suite pendant 2 jours. La forme de la chambre est un peu étrange, elle…
The Okura Prestige, Bangkok
The Okura Prestige is a bit of an abnormality in today’s hospitality industry. Where the norm today is to offer very small rooms, the rooms at The Okura Prestige are roomy and spacious, even the lowest category deluxe rooms. Connected…

Shangri-la Hotel, Jakarta
“Solid, reliable brand” I have always been fond of the Shangri-la group. I remember when I was a little boy, my parents took me to Shangri-la Singapore for dinner. They had the most beautiful tea cup I have seen –…
Albergo Nove (Hotel Nine), Phnom Penh (Italiano)
Seppur facenti parte della stessa catena, l’Hotel Nine non ha nulla dell’atmosfera cordiale e amichevole che si trova al Monument Hotel, Phnom Penh. Il personale e’ borioso e indisponente. Quasi beffardo. Quando la notte ho chiamato la reception, nessuno si…
Hotel Nine, Phnom Penh (Bahasa Indonesian)
Meskipun masih bersaudara dengan Hotel Monument, Phnom Penh, tapi tidak memiliki ciri ramahtamahnya sama sekali. Senyum pegawainya nampak angkuh. Ketika saya memanggil petugas resepsionis di malam hari, tak ada satu pegawaipun yang terpanggil untuk mengangkat telepon. Hotelnya nampak lebih manis…
