AA Admirals Club – Washington DCA
The Admirals Club DCA, Concourse E, is the best American Airlines can squeeze out of their lounge DNA — modern, clean, functional. No luxury, no fine dining, but pleasantly civilized.

American Airlines Flagship Lounge – Miami (MIA)
The AA Flagship Lounge Miami is a solid, functional refuge for the transatlantic traveler — no glamour, but spacious, well-equipped, and with an impressive self-service bar. As American as a lounge can get: a little loud, a little rough around the edges, but somehow likeable.
Admirals Club (JFK)
The Admirals Club at JFK is functional and comfortable, offering solid basics, but it is outdated and by no means spectacular. Travelers who don't expect a premium lounge experience will find a quiet alternative to the gate area here. Passengers with access to the Flagship Lounges should opt for those instead.
The Art Hotel, Denver
The Art Hotel Denver impresses with its modern art concept, thoughtful room design, and exceptional service. The combination of exclusive Amex FHR benefits, a complimentary minibar, and a genuine sense of hospitality makes this hotel a clear recommendation for Denver.
New Lounge Review: American Airlines Flagship Lounge – Dallas/Fort Worth DFW
The Flagship Lounge in Dallas/Fort Worth impresses with a modern atmosphere, first-class food and beverage offerings, and comfortable rest areas and shower rooms. It's a real highlight for First Class travellers and frequent flyers who want to fully enjoy their pre-flight stay.
Hilton Garden Inn Grapevine (DFW)
The Hilton Garden Inn Grapevine impresses above all with its convenient location near Dallas Fort Worth Airport and the charming downtown of Grapevine. Rooms and facilities are functional and quiet, though the complimentary shuttle service is not available around the clock.
Admirals Club – Honolulu (HNL)
The Admirals Club in Honolulu offers a solid and functional environment for travelers — pleasantly quiet, with good Wi-Fi and comfortable seating. The food and drink selection is on the simpler side and covers the basics without wowing anyone. Overall, a good if unremarkable option for frequent flyers with the right access.
✈️ Lounge Review – British Airways Galleries Lounge, Philadelphia (PHL)
The British Airways Galleries Lounge in Philadelphia serves its purpose as a pre-flight retreat, but fails to impress with either modern design or an appealing food and beverage selection. For an international premium lounge, it lacks that certain flair – if you keep your expectations in check, you'll find a solid but uninspiring option here.
Lufthansa First Class Wining and Dining New York (JFK)
The Lufthansa First Class Wining and Dining Lounge at New York JFK impresses above all with its excellent, personalized service — from reception to being escorted into the lounge. The restaurant offering with table service and buffet provides a great opportunity to dine in peace before the overnight flight to Europe.
United Airlines Business Class Star Wars Amenity Kit
United Airlines released a well-designed limited-edition amenity kit in Business Class to coincide with the launch of the latest Star Wars film. The branded bag impresses with a complete set of contents for a relaxing journey and a refreshing change from the standard kit.
United Airlines Polaris Business Class Amenity Kit – Team USA Edition
Cool tin, great contents – something other airlines should take note of. The decorative metal box created in partnership with the US Olympic Team may not be a classic pouch, but that doesn't dampen the enthusiasm one bit.
United Airlines Polaris Business Class Amenity Kit
United Airlines puts real emphasis on quality with the Polaris Amenity Kit, offering an impressive selection of goodies featuring premium Cowshed products. The contents are exemplary and cover all essential needs — only the ballpoint pen feels a little cheap. The bag itself makes a premium impression and changes designs pleasingly often.
American Airlines Business Class Amenity Kit
The American Airlines Business Class amenity kit by Cole Haan offers a solid, practical set of contents — from socks to dental care to lip balm. The mouthwash feels cheap, and the grey bag doesn't hold up to direct comparison with higher-end competitors. Overall a decent but unexciting kit.
Marriott Tampa Westshore Hotel, Florida
The Marriott Tampa Westshore leaves a mixed impression: the spacious room with balcony and free parking are clear positives, but cleanliness issues, a sluggish check-in, and a mediocre lounge tarnish the picture. A solid option for business travelers who prioritize parking – but for a truly comfortable stay, there are better alternatives.
🍷 Hotel Review: Wine-Inspired Boutique Comfort at Autograph Collection, Tampa
The Epicurean Hotel in Tampa impresses with its consistent wine concept, excellent service, and an ideal location with restaurants and bars right on the doorstep. The rooftop terrace, attentive staff, and proximity to the renowned Bern's Steak House make it a true hidden gem for food and wine lovers. If you appreciate individual boutique hotels, you'll book again in a heartbeat.
New Review: SpringHill Suites Denver Downtown
The SpringHill Suites Denver Downtown impresses with friendly service, spacious and clean rooms, and an ideal location near Ball Arena. The ongoing renovation dampens the ambiance somewhat, but is more than offset by generous status benefits and a seamless stay. Especially for event-goers, this hotel is an easy recommendation – solid, modern, and with nice extras.
Tampa Airport Marriott – Perfect for Late Arrivals
The Tampa Airport Marriott impresses above all with its unbeatable location right in the terminal – ideal for quick stops between flights. The room is clean and solid, but the service could use improvement, and the lack of a breakfast option is a real downside for an airport hotel. If you just need one night and have an early flight out, you're still in good hands here.
