Cipriani Ocean Resort (Miami)

Apparently we extended our stay in Italy. Were you nervous that we didn't have anywhere to stay yesterday? It was just so nice there in Italia that we couldn't quite leave but don't worry we will probably want to go back very soon. Well today we have some business in Miami (don't tell Will Smith..something about all no work all play okay..I'm going to Miami, welcome to Miami) and we are checking into the Cipriani Ocean Resort. It is so nice and clean that I think I could stay here for a long time. Just look how beautiful the room is.

NOTE: Does anybody notice that all almost all of the hotels showcased this week have the very same cool chairs with the rings on the back? Hmmm I seem to remember now that my one of my favorite all time hotels have the same chairs...that may be a clue.

Le 1 Place Vendome

You hungry, you say....well carrying on with the traveling and hotel theme this week our travels bring us inside of the Hotel De Vendome in Paris, where we will dine at the Le 1 Place Vendome.

Heidelberg Suites

There is almost nothing more that can get me excited than the prospect of traveling...and with traveling comes hotels. Combine the idea of chicly decorated hotels with a beautiful new place to explore and in my book that happens to be one of the best recipes on this planet.

Does the above hotel look familiar to anyone? I'll give you one guess...actually if you hang out with me this week on my blog and you can't figure out where I am going with this then wait until Friday and I will give you the answer. For now enjoy a week of chic hotels that all have something in common and dream along.

Does anybody else out there love to travel...if so pls. do share your most favorite vacation destination spots...besides Disneyland..because that is where we are taking our little ones here very soon (which may not be considered a vacation either). Hope we don't loose anybody or that we don't have any party poopers when we board the Pirates of the Caribbean. Never thought I would be into child leashes until now.

Have a fabulous week!

P.S. - The above hotel happens to be in Germany, if you didn't know by the name.

P.S.S. - Did you happen to notice all of the animal mounts?

{spanish cottages and the parker hotel} PALM SPRINGS

(above via Dumbwit Tellher}

I went crazy for the Dumbwit Tellher post yesterday on Palm Springs. In fact I can't wait for the next part of her post. What got me though was the above Spanish cottage @ the Viceroy. I AM A SUCKER for Spanish cottages and stripes.

I would even consider (in my dreams) the below Palm Springs home offered by Landa-Stevens.

Then after persuing the Parker hotel in Palm Springs I was quite enjoying taking a virtual tour of the hotel via their website. Want to see...

Alright who is in for a Palm Springs trip? Should be nice this time of year:-)
