Truer words have never been spoken and they happen to be prime descriptors for New York City’s Le Parker Meridien Hotel. Soaring 42 stories above West 57th Street, two blocks from Central Park, half a block from Carnegie Hall and just a short cab ride from Times Square, the combination Gothic-Modern hotel is definitely in <... >

When Jose Luis Ezquerra designed the first (and still only) all-suite luxury resort on the island of Maui, he certainly chose the right name. Kea Lani…Heavenly White or White Heaven. With a backdrop of blues ranging from azure to turquoise, the stunning white caps of the Kea Lani stand out among the other more traditional <... >

When I was a sales executive, I often had to do overnight trips. I longed for the cheerful hotel with a nice fitness center and a healthy restaurant. What I always seemed to get was a drab room with ancient, rickety, nautilus equipment and a rusty, creaky stationary bike that barely functioned. I would end <... >

One visit will change all of that. Located on Rue de la Paix, between Opera and Place Vendome, this <... >

One step inside the new InterContinental Hotel in Atlanta’s fashionable Buckhead (recently ranked as one of the top ten US communities) and you know you’re in five-star hands. I arrived late in the evening, after a delayed flight and the joys of rental car hell. But once in the capable hands of the staff of <... >

I’m no P Diddy aficionado; in fact, I’d do well to keep up with which name he’s using at any given time. But I’m going to admit that my experience at the Benjamin Hotel was so fab, that I couldn’t help but borrow my title from Puffy’s poesy about the luxe life. Staying at the <... >

Merriam Webster’s Dictionary gives the following as synonyms for the word meridian: climax, pinnacle, zenith, among others with the same sensibility.
