the places where my head rests.
See All Lists
1. Viceroy Miami
This is the classiest hotel I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. And since it takes one to know one, the girl at the front desk took one look at me (in my finest t-shirt) and upgraded me to a one bedroom suite.
Now, all the rooms are gorgeous,…More »
2. Elysian Fields Inn
When I chose to stay at the Elysian Fields Inn, I assumed the best part about the place would be the location. Because Brad Pitt lives only five blocks away, and often rides his bike past.*
But even if you're not the teenybopper I am, you're going to…More »
3. Charles Hotel
This was the most well-equipped bathroom ever. It came with a scale, a phone, an ice bucket, various toiletries and a TV IN THE MIRROR.
If you think I didn't weigh myself, call my friends,* chill my drinks, brush my teeth and shave my face all while…More »
4. W San Francisco
I still love you. But there are a couple things that need fixing.
1. Get some blackout curtains. I'm still on East Coast time, and I'd rather not be waking up with the sun every morning.
2. The pool only has four, weird, uncomfortable non-lounge…More »

Awesome:
-The rooms, beds and showers are great.
-The never-ending supply of toiletries they will… Read more »
5. Hotel Palomar Chicago
The Good.
-The bed and the blackout curtains. I died for nine hours.
-The shower. Excellent pressure, and a great bar of complimentary soap.
-The service. Smiling, helpful, and efficient without being rude.
-The wi-fi. Free for Kimpton InTouch members.…More »
6. Hotel Palomar Philadelphia
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 563-5006
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
I can successfully rebut any negative reviews of the Hotel Palomar with one simple statement: There is a leopard print robe in the closet.*
I don't care if the bellhop set your bag on fire and then dropped it down the elevator shaft, that robe means…More »
7. Borgata
Recommended: Staying at the Borgata.
The glorious showers have a dial to set the temperature of the water. This is not some arbitrary spot between Hot and Cold; I can set the water to exactly 94 degrees if I so choose. And there's a bench, which as…More »
8. Loews Philadelphia Hotel
Philadelphia, PA 19107
(215) 627-1200
Nothing but good things to say here.
We got a great rate via Priceline, the bed was comfortable, and the towels were huge and fluffy. No problems.
Also, I forgot toothpaste, so I called the front desk. They answered "Hello Mr. Peter!" I love that. They…More »
9. W Atlanta - Midtown
I slept like a dead person at The W.
No no no, LIKE a dead person, not WITH a dead person. You must be confusing me with another Peter. Yeah, well, lots of people look like me. I've got one of those faces. Yeah, well, lots of people have this shirt.…More »
10. Drake Hotel
Toronto, ON M6J 1J3
Canada
(416) 531-5042
I felt a bit honored to stay in a place designated as one of the Top 500 Hotels in the World. I'm not exactly sure what the process is for selection, but I did thoroughly enjoy my stay here at The Drake, and that's what really matters. My…More »
11. Grand Bohemian Hotel
Orlando, FL 32801
(407) 313-9000
Categories:
Hotels,
Restaurants
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I don't bathe often. Shocking, I know.*
I figure once or twice a year is sufficient. However, if my personal shower was as nice as that of the Grand Bohemian, I could foresee a significant increase, perhaps as much as fourfold.
Their double…More »
12. Hotel Palomar - CLOSED
I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again now. The only things that truly matter in a hotel are the bed, the shower, and the service.
The bed isn't holyshitimnevergettingupagain comfortable, but it's damn good.
The shower pressure is…More »
13. Hampton Inn and Suites Pittsburgh-Downtown
This is not a luxury hotel. They don't have the huge, $100 down pillows, the decadent marble bath, leopard-print robes for personal photo-shoots, or the expensive lotions that keep my skin so soft and supple and the envy of everyone everywhere.
But on…More »
14. La Mansion Del Rio Hotel
I must say, the staff at La Mansion del Rio is top notch.
They are very knowledgable. At 2:30 am, when we stumbled back into the lobby and asked the concierge which pool we could swim in at that hour, he said "Neither. The pools close at 10 pm."…More »
15. Townhouse Hotel
Perhaps I am not as discerning as my colleagues, but I thought Townhouse was a great place to stay. ESPECIALLY for such great rates in South Beach.
So they don't put conditioner in your bathroom. That's fine, my hair is naturally silky and smooth.
So…More »
16. Ace Hotel
New York, NY 10001
(212) 679-2222
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Flatiron
When all my friends come to town, they stay at the Ace. I don't get to stay here, because I live in NYC.*
But I do get to drink delicious Hendrick's martinis at the bar after really long fucking days. And I like that in at least one of the hotel…More »
17. Hyatt Regency Boston
This is the most comfortable bed ever. End of discussion.
(I don't need to hear about how yours is more comfortable. No, seriously, stop propositioning me.)
18. The Westin San Francisco Market Street
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 974-6400
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA
Prior to my most recent San Francisco trip, I'd heard that there are people out there in the world that don't always mean everything they say. But I'd never witnessed it firsthand until I stayed at the Westin.
When our cab pulled up, the doorman…More »
19. Capital Hilton
The Good.
The nice, personable lady we spoke to at check-in.
Good shower pressure.
A nice, comfortable bed.
The Bad.
The in-room amenities could use an upgrade.
The food at the restaurant downstairs: it was overpriced, and it underdelivered.
The Ugly.
The…More »
20. Renaissance Washington, DC Downtown Hotel
I didn't mind staying at the Renaissance at all. The bed was comfortable, the shower was fine, and most importantly, the towels weren't horribly scratchy. (I have very sensitive skin. Really. Stop looking at me like that.)
I stayed out quite late the…More »
21. Hotel Gansevoort
New York, NY 10014
(212) 206-6700
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: West Village, Meatpacking District
If you want a great view, overpriced drinks, and under-dressed women, they are all here, waiting for you. (I assume the women are waiting for you, because they are not waiting for me.)
The weekend can be a scene, but not my scene, because I don't care…More »
22. Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Grand Canyon
Grand Canyon, AZ 86023
(928) 638-3000
Categories:
Hotels,
Venues & Event Spaces
The only thing that made the horrendous wait at check-in bearable was the mildly amusing irony that this is an "Express."
However, the room was comfortable and clean, and an absolute steal at the Hotwire price of $80 (including tax). That's a fleabag…More »
23. Melville Marriott Long Island
This hotel has the peculiar feature of a joint, indoor balcony that allows anyone to stroll around the entire floor, peeking in on anyone that hasn't yet closed their curtains. It's a bad idea to take a nap without doing so, because you might wake up…More »
24. The Mosser Hotel
There isn't really much for me to say about the Mosser. It was a fine experience. The bed was comfortable, and the shower pressure adequate.
I don't have much to complain about.
Except the elevator smelled as though someone had vomited in it. Not…More »
