Nymphes Luxury Apartments in Crete
My husband and I visited the island of Crete, Nov. 20-26, ’03. Since it was off-season, the majority of accommodations were closed.

Horseback riding at Domaine du Soleil
On March 12, ’03, my three sisters-in-law and I began a trip that had been in the making for over two years.

London’s Arosfa Hotel

Accommodations Worldwide, May 2004 issue
The Arosfa Hotel (83 Gower St., London WC1E 6HJ, ENGLAND; phone/fax 020 7636 2115), located a 5-minute walk from Goodge Street Underground Station, is more a B&B than a hotel, in my opinion. It is one of several small hotels along busy Gower Street. I would recommend requesting a room in the back of any ...

After almost 40 years of travel in Southeast Asia, I’ve found a new candidate for the region’s most beautiful hotel-room view. Yuzana Hotel (130 Shwe Gon Dine Rood, Bahan Township, Yangon, BURMA) has some rooms looking directly upon the huge, golden Shwedagon Pagoda, the spiritual center of Burmese Buddhism. This close-up view is truly awesome ...

India’s Norkhill Hotel

Accommodations Worldwide, April 2004 issue
On a trip I led to Sikkim state, northeastern India, in fall ’03, I found that the Norkhill Hotel (phone 910 3592-25637) in Gangtok has upgraded its guest rooms and bathrooms. In addition, the front office manager, Gyan Thapa, is a very capable person. The rack rate for a room, including breakfast and dinner, is ...

Hotel Aragon and Novotel Tour Noir in Belgium

Accommodations Worldwide, April 2004 issue
For my January ’04 trip to BELGIUM, I found two great hotels offering extra services, good prices, 4-star ratings and family-friendly atmosphere.
