I had a 3 day training course in Macau of all places earlier on in the year. The course was held at Hotel Sofitel Macau at Ponte 16 in Macau and I had the pleasure of staying at the hotel as well.

I was lucky enough to spend 8 days in Beijing in June this year. Primary reason for the trip was to attend a training course for work but I took the opportunity to stay on for a couple of extra days to do some sightseeing of the city and its surrounds.
I stayed in the hotel where the course was organised, the Hilton Beijing. Its in what is referred to as the diplomatic area of the city and a quick walk around the neighbourhood soon showed why. A very closely guarded US Embassy was on the street right behind the hotel.

InterContinental Grand Stanford, Hong Kong
I was in Hong Kong for a week for a well deserved holiday and one of the perks of working for who I work for is being able to use the corporate hotel rates, and perks, when on holidays.
I hadn’t been to Hong Kong for 6 years and wanted to stay on the Kowloon side of the harbour. Luckily the InterContinental Grand Stanford in is Tsim Sha Tsui East, just a quick walk from the Tsim Sha Tsui East and Tsim Sha Tsui MTR stations and the Star Ferry.

Do you ever have that sense of foreboding when you turn up at a hotel? Sometimes its just the fear of the unknown and the upcoming adventure then everything turns out fine… Then there’s the other times. This is one of those times!
I guess I’ve just been spoiled by the first class, luxury hotels I’ve stayed at for the past 5 years. So when you end up in a supposedly decent hotel, and you get a room that only has two single beds and looks like it was last refurbed in the 80s, including a cork bulletin board in the room (wtf were these people thinking!) I get a tad disappointed.
