Absolutely mental approach, quite a few overshot from recollection.

What a buzz

A suite at the Delano in Las Vegas was quite good.

Als the Artezen just off Wall St in New York. Bit small, but very swish inside.

I was due to return from Taipei on the China Airlines flight than ended up in the harbour in 1993. The pilot misjudged the final turn during a Typhoon. A lucky escape for me… I was delayed due to a production problem in Taipei and took a later flight

A four star in Bangkok that may as well have been a six star. Actually dirt cheap. Had the best Indian restaurant next door too.

Those ‘Love’ hotels were a major thing in Asia. Hong Kong had a few around Kowloon Tong.

Not hotel related but two of our engineers did a few drinks in the bottoms up club on Kowloon as you do however being very naive they decided to get a round in each on their company credit card at a time when slide imprint machines were still a thing

Roll on three weeks later and the bills drop at HQ for about a grand each! True school boy error stuff.

Good- Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Rosses Point,Sligo, great sea views and food. Coral Bay Hotel, Cyprus.
Not so good- The Bendover, Monton,Eccles, they used drawing pins to hold the wallpaper up!

Only had the pleasure of flying into Kai Tek once, but stayed in Fort Stanley transit accommodation so not really posh .... though the swimming pool was a good laugh one afternoon

Stayed in 5-star luxury in Rome for a few days but passed by a cheapo place with the splendid name The Mancini Shabby House.
Years ago I took a party of kids on a school trip from London to Amsterdam and stayed in a place near the Vondelpark called the Hotel Cok.

On the same theme almost ... most famous person met at hotel bar .
We were at Wynns B bar, 4 lads on a birthday party.
Randomly got very drunk with Brian Mc brides brother, Next morning Brian comes down for a chat and tell us that his brother is in the Dog house with his wife for spending all night with us,both great guys.
Next night we asked some random bloke to take a picture of the 4 us ,he said Ok where do you want him.. no,you take the picture of the 4 of us please .. looked most pissed off.
Found out later it was awards ceremony for ice hockey and he was in for best player.
As a side note Wayne Rooney walked past ...........

Never really been into booking high end hotels, would rather be out enjoying the local life instead.

Translation, there are no good hotels in Idaho :-)

Why can’t it be both?

There are only so many hours in a day

Probably right, you come to Idaho for the outdoor life

Are none of them spent sleeping and otherwise getting ready to explore the local life?

Before the last five years put an end to it, I have travelled around the world, and I have found a nice hotel to be a great base for exploration. Consistently getting a decent night’s sleep is probably one of the most important elements of a memorable holiday.

I agree on finding a nice place to sleep, I don’t want to spend money on a hotel room that makes me want to stay in and enjoy the luxury rather than exploring what’s to offer elsewhere

Fair enough. I don’t really prescribe to the hoteliday, either. I suppose I just have had bad experiences with some of the “value” stay establishments that have taken the shine off holidays, so tried to avoid them when I could.
