Paris boutique hotels continue to impress me with their style, warmth and service levels.

Travel diversification means having a points balance in a few hotel, credit card and airline programs can allow you to be spontaneous in your travels.

Calling the luxury Sofitel Heathrow Hotel at Terminal 5 (T5) an “airport hotel” is just cruel and unjust. For me the term “airport hotel” often conjures up a beige hotel which lacks character, is depressing as an in-transit passenger and makes me want to escape as soon as possible.
