1. The Breakers Hotel
We got married here just 2 weeks ago and 5 stars just isn't enough for this hotel worthy of a billion stars. Our wedding weekend at the Breakers was so unbelievable that we actually considered just staying in Palm Beach instead of jetting off to…More »

2. Beltane Ranch
Wow! Thanks to the yelpers who let this secret out because otherwise I would have never known about this magical ranch in Sonoma County.
I've never done the B&B thing and have always wanted to and if every place is this amazing I'm going to forget…More »
3. Shorebreak Hotel, a Joie de Vivre Hotel
On day 2 of my road trip thru SoCal I found myself staying at the new Shorebreak Hotel. I'm not sure how long it's been open now, but it still has that brand new smell.
The woman at the check-in guest was kind enough to upgrade me to an amazing…More »
4. Harbor Court Hotel
Looooovvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeee this boutique Kimpton hotel and here is why:
* The Embarcadero YMCA is right next door so fitness crazed people like myself can work out as much as their little hearts desire
* On the other side of the hotel is a delicious…More »
5. Hotel ZaZa
Houston, I'm going to tell it to ya straight....
I haven't exactly heard raving reviews about your city. In a few months I'm marrying someone who was born and raised in Dallas and apparently there's a little Texas rivalry going on. This Texas rivalry…More »
6. Hotel Palomar - CLOSED
Things I love: Midtown, Kimpton Hotels, anything new, and the Palomar Hotel in Dallas. So when I heard the Palomar Hotel was hoping in Midtown I booked myself a room stat.

Hotels
Neighbourhood: Lower Greenville
PaLOVEmar. Like most Kimpton hotels this is a goodie- perhaps even the best of the bunch I've stayed at.
I was a fan before even arriving when I checked out the web site and my visit did not disappoint:
* Connected to my oh so favorite Exhale Spa - try…More »
8. Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach
After spending a day shopping in Palm Beach my mom and I decided to stop by the Ritz Carlton for some tea. I had heard the Ritz had been destroyed in a hurricane so I was interested to see how this beautiful resort had been redone.
Wow- the lobby is…More »
9. TWELVE Hotels
This is by far the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. I had heard that this brand new hotel was nice, but my stay here as been much more than "nice". Twelve hotels also has condos in the building and all the hotel rooms are modeled off of the…More »
10. Montage Laguna Beach
When I first started researching the perfect spot for our babymoon a few people recommended the Montage. I looked up their website and was instantly sold!
The Montage in Laguna Beach truly is the perfect babymoon spot. The resort is absolutely…More »

Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhood: Manhattan Beach
I didn't have the pleasure of staying here, but I felt at home after spending the day working from the lobby, eating dinner at the bar and making myself purty in my colleague's room (Thanks Danny W).

12. Hotel Palomar Philadelphia
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 563-5006
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
On par with the other Palomar Hotels I've frequented in Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago the Philadelphia Palomar is clean, slight flunky, spacious and has a nice gym. And on the weekend I stayed there I was lucky enough to have the gym all to myself!
I…More »
13. The Edgewater Hotel
About a month ago I turned to the Seattle Yelp talk board for a hotel suggestion and The Edgewater came highly recommended. I am currently staying at this hotel and am extremely impressed so far...definitely better than the Westin I usually stay at…More »
14. The Curtis Hotel
"Peekaboo, I see you!" AAHHHH! Hearing your elevator say that several times a day is bound to drive ya a bit crazy. I'm still hearing the voice and it's been 3 weeks since my last visit to the Curtis Hotel.
While you may end up in an insane asylum if…More »

I've heard amazing reviews about this bar and I live in Chicago. I finally had the chance tonight to see what the Redwood Room is all about. I really enjoyed the beautiful decor, fun drinks, attentive service, and tasty appetizers (the fried…More »

Venues & Event Spaces,

Neighbourhood: Downtown
Last weekend I found myself in the beautiful city of Cincinnati for my husband's holiday bash. And his law firm was kind enough to put us up at the Queen City Club.
This "hooty tooty" social club doesn't have many "hotel rooms," but we were lucky…More »
17. Hyatt Regency Austin
I was bummed when I couldn't (once again) get a room at the Hotel San Jose, but gotta admit that life isn't too shabby at this Hyatt. My flight was hours delayed (ugh...o'hare airport) so when I pulled up to my hotel at 2 am I was a very grumpy…More »
18. InterContinental Chicago O'Hare
Wedding season 2009 went out with a bang at the InterContinental Hotel in Rosemont. The hubby and I decided to have a bit of a staycation here because driving home after a wedding is never a good idea. Guess I learned something from D.A.R.E growing…More »
19. Hilton Austin
The film festival was going on in Austin this weekend so I had trouble getting a hotel...the Hilton was the only hotel that would actually take me, which made me question is from the start. But when I got to Hilton I realized that the reason there…More »
20. Sofitel Chicago Water Tower
I love this hotel! I attended a benefit for Cystic Fibrosis at the Sofitel last night and thought it was the perfect venue for a party. It's a beautiful hotel, spacious enough for the 300+ people at the party to have plenty of room to move around,…More »

Minneapolis, MN 55415

Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
If there's one thing that's necessary in Minneapolis it's heat! Soooo not so happy when the heat in my room at the Aloft just decides to stop working. The smart thing to do would probably have been to call downstairs and ask them to come up and fix…More »

22. Grand Hyatt DFW
We got married in Florida and then flew to Hawaii the next day....and let me tell ya...flying from Florida to Maui is a helluva trip. So we made a stop for a night in Dallas. My husband is actually from Dallas so I guess we could have lugged our…More »
23. Pan Pacific Hotel - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 771-8600
I've now stayed at the Pan Pacific Hotel twice and both stays have been more than satisfying. The stylish rooms are very large, it is right in the middle of union square, and the staff is very attentive. Each guest is even provided with their own…More »
24. Renaissance Austin Hotel
Austin, TX 78759
(512) 343-2626
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Arboretum, Great Hills
As I was leaving the Four Seasons on Fri night I mentioned to a local that I was staying at the Renaissance. His response: "you must not know many people in town if you're staying all the way over at the Arboretum." And this is true because this…More »
25. The Ritz-Carlton - CLOSED
Attended my friend's wedding at The Ritz Carlton this weekend...$139/night to stay at the Ritz! This could only happen in Detroit in November! It's a classic, old school gorgeous hotel with amazing service. We did have a few problems at…More »

(612) 333-4545
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
Almost a year later and I was back at the Marquette Hilton. My experience was during the week (rather than a holiday weekend) so it was completely different. I think everyone who was staying there was a business traveler...I guess I was there for…More »

27. Colony Hotel
I'm getting married at The Breakers about a mile away from here and figured it was probably a good idea to reserve an additional room block at an affordable hotel nearby if I want any friends to actually come to my wedding. And so I ended up at The…More »
28. Omni San Diego Hotel
They just redid this Omni a few years ago and it's absolutely beautiful. San Diego is one of my favorite vacation spots and I always stay at the Omni. Beautiful hotel, comfortable rooms that have everything you could possibly need (even a dvd), a…More »
29. Mandalay Bay
Las Vegas, NV 89119
(877) 632-7800
Categories:
Hotels,
Restaurants,
Casinos
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Mandalay Bay is my favorite hotel to stay at whenever I visit Vegas. The only negative thing I have to say about Mandalay is that it's pretty far down on the strip, but besides that it's perfect. The rooms are nice and big, the crowd is young & fun,…More »

San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 397-7000
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhood: Union Square
St Francis and I didn't get off to a very good start. When I checked into my hotel room the woman behind the counter informed me that I was supposed to have arrived the day before. I explained that I had actually called a few weeks earlier to change…More »

I visit San Francisco pretty frequently for work and have stayed at this boutique hotel about 5 times since it opened last May. It is one of my favorite hotels because I love the decor of their modern rooms and the staff is very friendly and…More »
32. Hotel Madera
Washington, DC 20036
(202) 296-7600
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhood: Dupont Circle
My friend provided me with 3 choices for a hotel in the DC area and I went with the Hotel Madera since it was the least expensive and I was only going to be spending a night in DC. It's also part of the Kimpton family and from past experience I know…More »
33. Fairmont Chicago
I've actually never been in the Fairmont Hotel until I attended a wedding here last night. The wedding was beautiful and I was very impressed with the hotel. It was an absolutely gorgeous ballroom that was elegant and simple so you can do a lot with…More »
34. The Time Hotel
New York, NY 10019
(212) 246-5252
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Theater District
It wasn't my first choice for a hotel based on the reviews, but it was the only hotel I could find during the 5 year memorial for 9/11. It's pretty pricey, but cheap in comparison to the other hotel deals I was finding. I've been impressed during my…More »
35. W Chicago - City Center
I definitely prefer having drinks at the W on lakeshore over this W, but I was in a suite here last night and this was a very impressive room. There were at least 25-30 people in this suite and while there wasn't a lot of room to move around it was…More »
36. Hotel Diva
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 885-0200
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, Civic Center/Tenderloin
Hotel Diva probably deserves 3 stars, but the cheap rates notch it up a star in my book. And I'm feeling particularly nice today. I was expecting your typical San Francisco hotel room, but was pleasantly surprised to see that my room was big enough…More »
37. Orlando World Center Marriott
I grew up in South Florida (3 hours away from Disney World) and worked in the trade show industry for many years so I've been to Orlando many more times than the average person. I've stayed at about every hotel and the Orlando World Center Marriott…More »
38. The Peninsula Chicago
So I've never actually seen the rooms here, but I've spent enough time at the bar, in the lobby, and at the restaurants to know this is one swanky hotel. And you know you're at a nice hotel when you get up from working on the couches in the lobby…More »
39. Hilton Suites Nashville
Stayed here, as well as attended a friend's wedding, here this weekend. The wedding rate was $149/night and for that this is a 4 star hotel, but the usual rate is over $250 so in that case it's probably more like a 3 star hotel.
The good:
- Nice sized…More »
40. Marriott University Park
I wasn't sure if I would like this hotel since it's right next to University of Arizona's campus, but it's a fabulous hotel! The service is excellent....the valet guy has my car waiting for me within seconds, the check-in process took less than a…More »
