After writing my review of the Park Hyatt Toronto, I thought it was appropriate to write about the St. Regis despite this review being older. I think the two places are comparable in class and quality, though the redemption opportunities with the St. Regis are markedly worse these days. I …
On my two (separate) most recent trips up to Toronto, I got to stay at a night at the newly renovated Park Hyatt Toronto as well as a night at the classy St. Regis Toronto. I will start of with my review of the Park Hyatt Toronto because I was …
Ever since my grandfather passed away, I’ve been wanting to go on a solo hiking trip to Switzerland just to unwind and reflect on the last few years of my life. I love going on family trips with my parents, sister, uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, and nephews, but there’s something …
The Hyatt Regency Amsterdam is about a 20 minute car ride from Amsterdam Airport. Though the hotel isn’t exactly in the city centre, most of the nice areas are still well within reach of a walk and especially a bike.
