Spring has sprung! Though some areas around the world seem to be stuck in winter (cough, New York), fresh flowers and farmers’ markets are on the rise. After being cooped inside for months, the best way to enjoy the weather is to head outdoors with family and friends. A picnic with good food and better…
Chain hotels often get a bad rap. Admittedly, some of them, with uninspired beige decor, industrial carpeting, and airline-quality breakfasts, have earned it. But they’re not all that way. Some chain hotels are building their brand as hip and stylish, with restaurants that attract foodies and rooms that look straight out of Dwell magazine. Here,…
The Marilyn Skirt in the Double Superior Room at the Arte Luise Kunsthotel Do you like Marilyn Monroe? Do you like her SO much that you’d excitedly book a hotel room devoted to her? And we mean devoted, complete with a life-size, white skirt placed above the closet, that automatically billows up, a la that…
Sure, college students and party animals may seek out hostels as an ideal way to meet other young travelers and save money on the road, but there comes a point in every traveler’s life when showering with flip-flops and playing drinking games with strangers becomes less appealing, and clean bedding and quiet at a reasonable…
Pizza Vending Machine at the aletto Kudamm Hotel & Hostel We’ve seen lots of work-arounds at hostels that don’t provide proper restaurants: on-site coffee shops, delivery service from neighboring restaurants, and communal kitchens — but the pizza vending machine found under the stairs in Berlin’s aletto Kudamm Hotel & Hostel is an absolute first.

So you’ve done the wild all-inclusive spring break in Cancun, seen your fair share of bellyflop competitions in Daytona Beach, and will simply never go back to Punta Cana on account of last year’s sun-poisoning incident (we know, we’ve been there). As great as warm weather spring breaks can be, sometimes you just need a…
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and we’re looking forward to having a romantic weekend — especially a romantic long weekend, thanks to Presidents’ Day. One of the best (and easiest…and least expensive) ways to turn up the heat this holiday is to just stay put in your own city — but head to…
One of our New Year’s resolutions is that we’re going to TRY not to brag. But it’s not 2015 yet! So we’re going to use this precious, coming-to-an-end 2014 time to show off a bit because, to be honest (and we’re all about honesty), we’ve done some pretty awesome stuff this year. From snapping over…
We’re taught as children not to judge a book by its cover, but does that principle apply to hotels? After all, when it comes to a spot that you’ve likely spent a good amount of money on, the first impression can make a big difference — and can be a pretty accurate indicator of what…
Oktoberfest is the world’s greatest beer festival — and the celebration kicks off around the globe on Saturday! But this party isn’t just about guzzling steins of frothy brew while tapping your toes to German Oompah. (Although there’s plenty of that. And we fully support it.) It’s also an excuse to celebrate just about anything…
