Atlanta loses three hotels to weak market, two to become dorms

Three hotels have succumbed to weakness in the Atlanta market. Among the recent casualties is the 502-room Marriott Renaissance. Rates have been pushed lower by an abundance of capacity that has caused even top brands to get stuck charging less than $100 a night. When there’s far more supply than demand, of course, this is what happens.

Joining the Renaissance in the graveyard will be the city’s Wyndam Garden Hotel and Baymont Inn & Suites. Georgia State University will be buying both and converting them to dorms. The future of the Renaissance remains uncertain, though 75 percent of its laid-off staff will be moving to other Marriott properties.

Given the state of the Atlanta hotel market, there’s the risk that more hotels could follow: [...]

Marina Bay Sands Hotel infinity pool over Singapore

Some of life’s simple luxuries are downright cool and some are simply awe-inspiring, and then there are those that give us goose-bumps and test our vertigo to the limit. Enter: The Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore and its rooftop infinity pool.

The $5.95 billion hotel finally opened its doors in June and is being touted as the world’s most expensive hotel, but that’s not the purpose behind this pampering. The hotel’s main attraction is a 650-foot wide infinity pool situated at the 55th floor of the hotel, making it the largest outdoor pool in the world that high. The pool’s water spills over into a catchment and then recycles the water back into the hotel’s main pool area. [...]

My dream holiday in Brazil

My girlfriend and I are forever trying to do things for each other to surprise one another. It has almost got to a childish point where it is more like one up manship than anything else, but when she pulled her latest stunt I didn’t mind at all! Last year I had surprised her by taking her skiing over Christmas, and we stayed in a perfect little log cabin for the week. It was a perfect weekend and she told me on the last night that she would better it within six months! We had a laugh about it at the time but I knew that she would go all out to try and do better than me!

Not surprisingly six months later she came to me with a cheeky little grin on her face. She had been secretly saving up her money and she had managed to book us flights to Brazil over my birthday! She had arranged for us to see a football match while we were there, and we would be staying in a four star hotel in Rio! I couldn’t believe she had managed to do this, and although I was obviously pleased, I was already thinking how on earth would I be able to better this!

I asked her how she had managed it and she told me that she had just had a look around online and found these really cheap flights to Brazil, and once they were paid for, everything else was relatively affordable! I couldn’t believe it but I wasn’t about to start complaining – I had always wanted to go to Brazil!
