Hotel veterans might say newcomer Tom Michelberger is playing at being a hotelier which would be fine by him as “play” is a central theme to his brand new hotel.
The “first” Michelberger Hotel is set to open in September near the Oberbaum bridge over the river Spree in Berlin, Germany. The entire team behind the [...]]]></description>

Located on 45th Street just [...]]]></description>

The Lower East Side, one of the oldest areas of Manhattan, has roots firmly planted in this traditionally immigrant, working-class neighborhood full of tenements and small storefronts.
The LES has always been rich with history and urban diversity, once containing Little Germany and perhaps best known as having once been a center of contemporary Jewish culture. [...]]]></description>

Year after year Kyoto continues to maintain its status as one of Japan&#8217;s most beautiful cities and a highly sought-after travel spot. The city is rich in cultural history and incredible architecture, as it spent nearly 1100 years as the country&#8217;s capital until the Meiji Restoration in 1868.

While the Portuguese are generally cosmopolitan world travelers, the capital of Lisbon is not the global city one might expect. Lisbon is still affected by the nearly half decade of military dictatorship, which ended more than 30 years ago, stifling its growth into a modern city.
