Hotel Gillow


Mexico City is the one of the most important cities in Latin America, with a population of more than 25 million, an area of 1,547 square kilometers, and architecture that ranges from historic colonial buidings to modern steel and glass office buildings.

This great metropolis has 75 museums, 10 archaeological zones and many more attractions, including the "Templo Mayor", the Archaeology Museum, Frida Kahlo Museum, Bellas Artes, The National Palace, The Mexico City Cathedral and many more.

Taxco Hotels


Taxco Mexico is widely known as the silver capital of the world. Featuring almost 1,000 silver shops, shopping for silver jewelry is the main tourist attraction to Taxco Mexico. Although many travelers come to Taxco Mexico for just the day, the quaint colonial feel of Taxco may make you want to stay the night. Cozy stucco buildings line the streets of most of the town, and Taxco has a few excellent Mexico hotels.

While many a hotel Taxco offers is on the small side, for scores of travelers this is an advantage. Historical Taxco hotels abound in the city, and guests who like to mix colonial history in with their Mexico hotels will quickly fall in love with Taxco hotels.

Mexico Hotels


A recent study by HVS shows that hotels and tourism revenue add a great boost to a developing nation’s economic performance. On several levels, including consumer spending, investment, and tax revenue, a greater number of hotels in a region create a large number of bonuses for the income potential of both the public and private sectors.

With its stunningly beautiful natural landscape of beaches, mountains, forests and vast sea expanses, mexico is particularly suitable for investors from across the world who would like to increase return on investment through insightful long-term endeavours. Mexicans go to great lengths to ensure that international capital finds a permanent base in the beautiful forests and beaches of the nation, and with such a mighty asset basis, there’s every reason to expect that their successes will be multiplied in the near future, notwithstanding the economic crisis.

Hotel Impala


We don't have anything personal against the Miami Airport Hampton Inn and Suites, but we were a bit skeptical about it being the #1 hotel in town according to Trip Advisor. So we're glad we've finally found TA's slightly hidden list of best Miami hotels where it turns out that Angler's Boutique Resort comes in at number one, just edging out the Hotel Impala in the South Beach Art Deco area.

We've mentioned Angler's before, but want to tell you more about the Impala. It's just a small place, with 17 rooms, but a special atmosphere. The Impala is furnished in a no-expense-spared style and everybody compliments the friendliness of the staff.

And then comes the Impala's restaurant, an Italian masterpiece called "Spiga". It's not only the winner of several awards, but apparently celebs including Julia Roberts, Mick Jagger and Puff Daddy have eaten here, which gives it a bit of cred (or an expensive menu?). The surprising thing is that room rates are very reasonable; in summer a basic deluxe room starts at $145 a night, rising to $215 in winter, plus taxes.

Hotel Los Angles


As you read this, I'm in sunny Los Angeles, the playground of many Celebrity Travel Intelligence subjects. Had I planned ahead and followed Wendy's advice on how to beat Priceline at its own game, I'd be sitting pretty in four-star digs at half the price. Unfortunately, I didn't get my act together in time, and after frantic last-minute Expedia searching, I find myself at the ultra-glamorous, star-studded...Santa Monica Travelodge. It's all champagne wishes and caviar dreams here!

Luckily, you don't have to slum it the next time you're in L.A. Turns out, this expensive city does have some great, affordable hotels without the word "lodge" in the title. Back in January, Katoakita, an L.A. local, suggested the mid-century Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills. And with good reason. With the 21-Day Advance Purchase special, one of its stylish doubles will run you $219/night. Though you won't encounter Avalon fans Lucille Ball or Mae West in the lobby, you'll definitely feel like a star lounging by the amoeba-shaped pool (don't forget your big hat and wide-rim sunglasses).

The new Chamberlain in West Hollywood is Avalon's sister property and has a similarly cool vibe -- along with the same reasonable price tag. The cabanas by the pool hark back to the era of Golden Hollywood when Bogart was king and bathing suits left something to the imagination. It's no surprise, therefore, that the Chamberlain was selected by Conde Nast Traveler as one of only three 2006 Hot List hotels in Los Angeles.

We've saved the best for last. Check out why the Figueroa Hotel rocks our world, after the jump.
