...It was my wife’s 40th birthday, so what could I do that was a little special? What about a trip in a hot air balloon? That was out as she doesn’t like heights. What about a weekend in Blackpool? Not an option as it isn’t her favourite place. So I choose Paris. It would be our first time out of the country together and as a couple with no children! And where better than the romantic capital of the world? So I booked the short stay at my local Thomas cook, and we decided on Le meridian hotel in Montparnasse – Paris.
The hotel was built in 1974 and has 25 floors, with eight lifts (elevators) and 953 rooms.

...A couple of months ago I visited the UAE (United Arab Emirates).
I stayed with my boyfriend’s brother in a town called Al Ain, which is about 1 hr 30 minutes from the popular destination of Dubai (You may want to check out my review on Dubai).
Apart from spending a couple of days in Dubai, we also spent 2 days (one night) in the 5 Star, Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort in Fujairah.

...On my recent holiday to Malta i stayed in Le Meridien Hotel, located in Saint Julian's. I would not normally have stayed in a 5 star hotel, but I was lucky enough to win some money towards a holiday from the company that I work for. Obviously, with free money, you are going to push the boat out a bit, and I am glad we did!!
Location/Area
We arrived at the hotel in the dark, quite late on a Friday night. The taxi brought us round a few small streets and then up quite a steep hill, thus bringing us to the reception of the hotel. My first impression was that it was in quite a strange location, but this is because i had only just seen where we were, and also it was dark, so everything seems different. The doors to the reception are round the back of the hotel and on the ground level floor.
The hotel itself is situated on top...
