There are 4 restaurants in the Shangra-La Hotel – the BLU, Nadaman, Shang Place, and The Line. The restaurants are decorated in a modern style that’s warm and inviting.

Originally a mansion that was built over 200 years ago, the Tcherassi Hotel has been renovated and transformed into the modern building you’ll see before you. The ceilings are high, the floors hardwood, and the counter tops marble throughout the hotel that is world renowned for its luxury along some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

The rooms at the Tcherassi Hotel aren’t huge but the attention to detail shines throughout. The colors used in each room are relaxing yet powerful for however you want to spend you time there. The shower heads are huge and you’ll feel like you’re bathing in a rain shower rather than inside one of the best luxury hotels in the world. Each room is also uniquely designed and since the hotel is a former mansion, has a cozy home-like feel to it making each of the 7 rooms types feel as comfortable as possible. The 7 types of room, from the “Voilee” to the “Ziberline” have a variety of features from outdoor balconies to sound proof windows. The attention to detail and service from the over 30 staff members per customer is amazing.

Unfortunately reservations can only be made over the telephone. The Tcherassi Hotel website doesn’t display the availability of rooms or schedule yet, although it’s in the works and coming sometime in the near future. There are however excellent photos featured from time to time on their site which show the outdoor pool, rooftop terrace, and lounge areas around the hotel’s garden.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a luxury hotel that sits in a location where you can view two continents, both Europe and Asia. The Ciragan Palace Hotel in Istanbul sits on the Turkish city’s Asia coast, overlooking the Bosporus straight. Located in the Besiktas district, a stone’s throw away from the popular streets of Beyoglu and perched on the cliffs of Istanbul overlooking the skyline with the Bosporus beneath, you can’t say enough about the ambiance of this luxury hotel. The Ciragan Hotel is one of the most famous and best luxury hotels in the world. Celebrities, politicians, and a number of wealthy businessmen and women call the Ciragan home during their time in Istanbul.

Almost all of the rooms at the Ciragan have a view of the Bosporus and the rates are based on both the view and size of the room you select. Prices vary quite a bit between the busy summer season and the much quieter fall and winter months. On average however you can expect to pay around 500 Euro a night and up. The Ciragan is also highly coveted by business travelers who often stay at the luxury hotel on the company dime. Many of the rooms come with working desks on their balconies so you can work while watching the ferry boats cross from the Asian and European sides. You’ll also get your choice of 6 pillow varieties to make those breaks in between work (naps improve memory) for your king size bed.

The basic services at the Ciragan vary from the most basic you’d expect from a luxury hotel (laundry for example) to helicopter tours of Istanbul. The hotel also offers more traditional tours of the city, has an excellent spa and fitness center that’s open 24 hours, and maintains an indoor pool for your enjoyment. There is also a number of shopping outlets located in the Ciragan Hotel but you’re better off taking to the streets of Istanbul and enjoying the Grand Bazaar (Kapali Carsi) or wandering around the side streets to find some truly unique Turkish goods, often for much less.

There is also a business center in the Cigaran Hotel in Istanbul with Ethernet access to the Internet although it costs extra. The same goes for wireless which you can purchase for a few hours, days, or a week. Most of your specific questions about services can be answered even before you arrive through the fast responses of the hotel’s staff via email.

To make the most out of your money and time when making reservations, check out the Ciragan’s package deals for business, weekend getaways, and around many of the events that take place in the city that is the 2010 European Culture Capital. You’ll find great deals both on the hotel’s rates and for tours and events as well. It’s just another perk in one of the best luxury hotels in the world and yet another reason to treat yourself at the Ciragan Palace Hotel in Istanbul.

The Viceroy Hotel in Miami, Florida has the glamor you’d expect from such a lively and posh city. It’s a stop for many international travelers, many of whom pass up some of the top vacation spots in Europe to head to the heat and hot times in Miami. The Viceroy is located right in downtown Miami where the city never sleeps although when you do you won’t notice it in the elegant quiet of each room. There are over 160 guesthouses, suites, and single or double bedroom accommodations. The Viceroy is the kind of hotel that any business travelers couldn’t go wrong in (who doesn’t like luxury on the company dime) but it’s not the main focus as is the case at the Mandarin Hotel in Tokyo.

The Viceroy is a great vacation hotel with iPod docks in each room, TVs, with luxurious couches and a perfect social design. Each room also comes with complimentary wireless Internet access for when you want to download the latest songs or check up on your email in the midst of it all. With a going rate starting at about $200 a night it’s a lot of luxury that doesn’t cost as much as say the Hotel Monaco in Washington DC. You’ll have to book well in advance though, as rooms are hard to come by, especially during the busy summer season. Rooms are often booked many months in advance and finding the best rates can be difficult if you don’t start looking very early.

The Viceroy is simply a visually impressive luxury hotel. There is beautiful pool after another with beautiful people all around. You can dine with some of the most extraordinary views overlooking the pools and the gardens, it’s just delightful. There is also a rooftop lounge and yet another swimming pool up there for you to enjoy, relax, and party during your stay at the Viceroy Hotel in Miami.

When eating at the Viceroy, you’ve got to try out the Mediterranean dishes – Greek with a blend of tropical – at Eos Restaurant. The food is refreshing and there are a good number of healthy options and the wine is excellent. Eos Restaurant is where you can recharge your appetite before heading out to do other things like relaxing at the spa or taking a nap in the warm weather by the pool. The fitness center is also quite large and has an emphasis on cardiovascular machines and a modest amount of weights. There are a number of free classes, including spinning, that you can participate in at the Viceroy between the 6am and 10pm. One thing you shouldn’t miss out on is the organic juice bar right after a long workout.

The Viceroy also has a number of shopping options and can arrange tours for customers who want it but you might not want to leave after your first night there. The Viceroy Hotel in Miami is active and you’ll want to keep up with all there is to see and do on the premises while at the same time enjoying the cool streets of Miami at any hour of the day.
