Sofitel, Philadelphia

Luxury from the Sofitel

Advantages: Gorgeous rooms, nice facilities and great location

On a recent work trip to Paris I went to see a variety of hotels - in fact I saw quite a few of the same hotel chains including the Mercure, Novotel and Sofitel and from the Sofitel chain this was one of them; Sofitel Le Faubourg. The Hotel: The Sofitel Le Faubourg is a luxury hotel in the heart of the city centre.

Review of Sofitel Le Faubourg - Paris Demeure Hotels, Paris

On the streets of Philadelphia

Advantages: Excellent performances, story and sound track
Disadvantages: None

So myself and my girlfriend went travelling around the world visiting 29 countries from July to December. We stayed in budget accommodation all around the world, some of it was good enough and the rest well thankfully we survived unscathed. However when we arrived in Sydney things changed.

We jumped in a taxi straight outside the airport. Taxis appeared to be plentiful which can be rare at airports sometimes. The taxi driver instantly offered us two routes to get to the hotel. These choices were simple the cheap slow option or the expensive ...
