If you're a fan of classic luxury, the LXR Habtoor Palace delivers exceptionally well — the name Palace is no coincidence. The hotel impressed with a generous upgrade, excellent service, and elegantly designed rooms. The only downside is the somewhat inconvenient connection to the metro in extreme heat.
The Renaissance Warsaw Airport impresses with an unbeatable location right at the airport, friendly service, and a comfortable Junior Suite. The club, the generous breakfast, and the attentive check-out stand out as particularly positive. For anyone not planning a stay in the city center who holds Marriott status, this hotel delivers a very strong overall package.
The location right next to the castle and the generous upgrade to the King Junior Danube Suite thanks to Hilton Diamond status made this stay a real highlight. For the price paid, you really can't go wrong here. The food in the lounge as well as the helpful nature of the staff make you want to come back.
The Waldorf Astoria in Dubai's Financial District impresses with spacious suites, attentive service, and an excellent location near the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. If you're looking for a touch of luxury, this is the place to be – an absolute highlight.
The Hilton London Angel Islington offers a solid, straightforward stay in a good location near Angel tube station. Rooms and lounge are decent, and the breakfast buffet with live cooking station impresses. For the price – especially during the coronation – the hotel is an acceptable but not exceptional deal.
The Hilton Toronto Downtown impresses with friendly service and a complimentary upgrade to a King Sky View room. The central location with direct access to public transit makes it a solid city hotel. Overall a good stay at a reasonable price-to-value ratio.
The Hilton Antwerp Old Town impresses with an excellent location right on the Groenplaats and generous status recognition for Diamond Members. The rooms do show clear signs of age, but the value for money and the Executive Lounge with its terrace are genuine highlights. A room renovation would elevate this hotel to a significantly higher level.
The InterContinental Buenos Aires is a solid luxury hotel from the IHG group, centrally located in the Monserrat neighborhood. For a points redemption, the stay was acceptable, though the hotel shows clear signs of age. A typical Intercontinental without any major surprises.
The InterContinental Tokyo Bay offers excellent value for the price paid, with spacious rooms and a lovely view of the bay. The service impressed with its friendliness and generous Ambassador benefits such as an upgrade and late check-out. Public transport connections are acceptable, though not ideal.
The Hilton Osaka impresses above all with its excellent location right next to Osaka Station, offering outstanding connections to the Shinkansen and metro. The stay delivered good value for money, friendly service, and a delicious breakfast buffet featuring both Japanese and Western dishes.
The outbound flight disappointed with service on par with Ryanair, while the return flight impressed with a warm welcome, proactive service, and a good breakfast. The Business Class product is very basic — identical seat pitch to Economy (30 cm, merely the middle seat left empty) — and the author would not pay the upgrade fee on this short-haul route.
The Hilton Galazo on Mallorca impresses with spacious Junior Suites, a beautiful pool area, and a high-quality breakfast buffet. As a new resort, not all processes are fully streamlined yet, which was noticeable during check-in. The quiet, secluded location is ideal for relaxing, even if an Executive Lounge is lacking.
Air Serbia impresses on the short-haul Zürich–Belgrade route with excellent service and solid catering including a printed menu. The business upgrade for CHF 100 offers outstanding value for money and makes Air Serbia a clear recommendation within Europe.
The Hilton Sandton offers a solid, good-value experience for a stopover in Johannesburg. The location in the quiet Sandton district is safe and well connected to the airport, and the staff impress with their friendliness and smooth service. For a short stopover before continuing your journey, this hotel is a recommended choice.
The Conrad Chia Laguna Sardinia impresses with spacious rooms, excellent service, and a beautifully secluded setting — ideal for relaxing and switching off. The front desk and Guest Relations staff are exceptionally helpful, and Diamond members benefit from generous upgrades. The only thing missing is an Executive Lounge, though given the overall quality, that's easy to forgive.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Luxembourg offers solid Hilton quality overall, but with a few caveats — including a water issue in the adjoining room and limited access to amenities such as the pool and sauna. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, the room was spacious and clean, yet the hotel didn't fully win me over. Due to a lack of alternatives among my preferred hotel chains, it still deserves a second chance.
As long as everything goes according to plan with Iberia, it's genuinely enjoyable. The cabin product and catering are at a good level, and the modern 1-2-1 layout ensures a relaxed flight experience. Depending on the route, Iberia is a recommended choice.
For a one-night stay before an early departure, the Sheraton Düsseldorf Airport is perfectly adequate. The sleeping comfort is good and the price fair, but the Club room at 25 sqm was smaller than expected, and there were minor inconsistencies with the service regarding the welcome gift and breakfast.
The Lufthansa Business Class on the Zurich–Frankfurt–Dubai route disappointed with a listless crew, absent Senator recognition, and minor catering shortfalls. The value of the 199 CHF upgrade was acceptable, but overall the experience fell short of expectations. All things considered, it was still great to be back in the air.
The Hilton Vienna Park scores above all with its excellent location right next to Wien Mitte station and its very good service, including Executive Lounge access. The room leaves some potential untapped, but overall this hotel is a clear recommendation for travelers with Hilton status.
The Sheraton Amsterdam Airport impresses above all with its unbeatable location right next to the terminal — reachable on foot in just a few minutes, covered and convenient. If you're willing to pay a slight premium and can take advantage of Marriott promotions, you'll be well taken care of here. The author would happily return.
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.
The Moxy Vienna Airport is no luxury hotel, but it impresses with its youthful design, practical proximity to the airport, and solid value for money. The service was blunt and somewhat arrogant, which slightly tarnishes the overall impression. With a bit more friendliness, a clear recommendation to return would be warranted.
