The anonymous correspondent had concluded that Hyatt is the best chain if you can stick to full service properties not owned or managed by bad actors, but they don’t have a big enough footprint and too many of their hotels in the U.S. are limited service. So he still earns...

We just returned from a quick weekend in Mexico City to celebrate my wife's birthday.  This was our second trip and we had a blast.  To get there, we used a Delta Companion Certificate -- and this is a good reminder that Delta expanded the use of these certificates to...

My second day in Switzerland is spent on a day trip to Rheinfall and Schaffhausen, two spots in the lowlands that get far less attention than the amazing Alps. With limited time, they made for a great itinerary, and I was even able to enjoy Zurich for an hour before...

Somehow rates here run from the mid-$200s to mid-$400s. There's actually another Autograph Collection property just a few blocks away. You'd probably like the Morrison House much better. Marriott CEO Jim Capuano once said, “When I die, they’ll put the net-rooms growth number on my tombstone.” Marriott will seemingly...
