Boutique Hotels & Few Strange Hotels

Image
How do you impress a traveler who seen it all and had it all. Being pampered every morning is his routine and does not make him happy anymore. You probably have to give a little bit extra and not the run of the mill kind of stuff. This was the necessity that gave birth to the now over used concept of “Boutique Hotel” in the early 1980s. Like many other innovative concepts this too was also conceived and implemented in the city of London. The first boutique hotel in the world opened its doors to the guests in 1981: The Blakes Hotel in South Kensington, London. This was the creation of celebrity designer Anouska Hempel. Second was the Bedford Hotel in Union Square, San Francisco. This turned out to be the first in a series of 34 boutique hotels currently operated by Kimpton Group, one of the most eminent players in the boutique hotel world. In 1984, Ian Schrager opened the Morgans Hotel in Murray Hill in New York City which was designed by French designer Andrée Putnam. I shall attem...

The Burj Khalifa Of Dubai

Image
The most significant chapter in the Dubai story is the Burj. After writing on Dubai for so long I find a compulsion of saying a few words about this landmark. The few words are quite lengthy considering the subject is the tallest structure. This perhaps is the only claim that others will not be able to refute. The tallest man made structure of the world. Other claims about the largest Mall or the longest this or biggest that is subject which are regularly discussed and debated at the cocktail parties. But this one is a definitive statement and above everyone’s doubt! This was also a happy moment for thousands of professionals and skilled workers from around the world worked on this once-in-a-lifetime project. Unfortunately most of them were not present in Dubai at this time of ceremonial inauguration. January 4, 2010 is the date that will make the residents of the emirate of Dubai proud for generations to come. The world's tallest tower, developed by Emaar Properties, was unveiled ...
