The traditional Wiesler Hotel in Graz, Austria

by Simona Ganea, posted in Hotels & Resorts, on May 10th, 2012

Hotel Wiesler is located in Graz, Austria. It’s a traditional hotel that has been around since 1909. Even so, ever since the first day it opened, the hotel never stopped evolving and improving so that the guests can have the best experience imaginable. The hotel offers 97 rooms. Even though it was built in 1909, there’s one thing that never got old. It’s the concept of luxury that becomes apparent from the moment you enter the hotel.

Hotel Wiesler has always been luxurious and, even though luxury has changed and doesn’t mean the same thing as it did in 1909, as it evolved so did the hotel. Luxury has always been interpreted and updated but the traditional approach was preserved. The history of the hotel started in 1870 when Carl Wiesler bought five guesthouses and turned them into a hotel. In 1986 the hotel was renovated to its current style.

Hôtel Thoumieux, Paris

by Loredana Sava, posted in Hotels & Resorts, on May 4th, 2012

Every person gets dressed in clothes that reflect their personality and they also decorate and design their homes according to their tastes. For example I like animal patterns, but I would never wear them because they do not represent me, but I admit I saw other people wearing them beautifully and looking spectacular. This is the same with home design – some homes can look like belonging to the baroque style, but they look great nonetheless. Maybe you wouldn’t dare do this at home, but you might want to experiment a different look when travelling and when you have to stay in a hotel room. This is the Hôtel Thoumieux, Paris, France. What is striking about this hotel interior is its unusual design, the way in which different styles, fabrics and colours that are apparently totally mismatching, can stay next to each other and look great in an almost crazy combination.

by Simona Ganea, posted in Hotels & Resorts, on May 3rd, 2012

This is the grandiose Raffles Dubai hotel. As the name suggests, it’s located in Dubai and as the location suggests, it has an imposing and luxurious design, both inside and out. In fact, it could easily be considered a monument with inspiration coming from both Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.

The hotel is part of Wafi City, Dubai’s most distinctive entertainment and shopping complex. It’s situated in the heart of the city and it offers amazing views in all directions. The location is very convenient. The hotel is only 10 minutes away from Dubai International Airport, very close to everything else since it’s in the heart of the city and, also because of that, it offers panoramic views of the surroundings and the landscape and every direction.
