Roger Ebert recently remembered Eyrie Mansion, an  old-school hotel on Jermyn Street in London. Reading his essay, I was heartbroken that I’d never had a chance to stay there (Where else can you expect the owner to show up in your room with a bottle of Scotch just for a chat? That beats a big...

Your Nomad-in-Chief recently spent several days in Atlanta for a variety of meetings. My hotel, chosen by my hosts, was the Marriott Perimeter Center – an older property in need of a refresh. Despite the stuck-in-the-80’s feel, the staff was quite friendly and helpful and the suite we used...

Several years ago after a stay at the Roosevelt Hollywood I wrote a blog post for Harvard Business Publishing about the tragically hip hotel. Recently I was in New York staying at the Hudson Hotel and, sad to say, much of what I wrote back then is still true — at least with regard to lighting. Unlike...

Here’s a great site we found by way of Johnny Jet’s Travel Blog: Wakerupper. It’s a Web-based service through which you can place a (free) wake up call to any phone in North America. Say goodbye to kludgy hotel clock radios (that only seem to get more complicated over time) or the front...
