Construction in downtown Manhattan continues, with new hotels and multi-purpose office buildings in the works. Major cities around the U.S. — like Houston, Los Angeles (particularly downtown), Detroit, Orlando, and Washington D.C. — are experiencing hotel booms, which is great news for us hotel freaks at Oyster.com.

The arrival of spring tastes so much sweeter after a brutal winter (which we’ve certainly had), and the cherry of top is that it brings with it the reopening of some of our favorite hotels. Resorts in summertime destinations such as the Hamptons and Kennebunkport often shutter their doors when it’s cold out, only to…
In much the same way long-time Manhattanites are morphing into Brooklyn residents, many tourists are choosing the outer borough over the island for their New York stays. After all, it’s cheaper (although probably for not much longer), easily accessible to Manhattan (as long as the L is running!), and home to a vast array of…
