Miami hotels and reservations

I would love to find something sparkly in my Cava, but it's not likely. Hope you do though lol
I don't do football, but I'd love to win a massage at the InterContinental.
For me, Halloween will be some funky Pinot and deep chocolate bites, even though they don't match.
I'm thinking about those amazing Chardonnay scrubs at The Biltmore's spa.
I'm doing exactly what most of you are doing---Hustle On, Mis Compadres.

Networking Bashment for Grown-***** Folk

You’re a grown ass man (or woman). You don’t do Mansion. You’ve outgrown booty-shaking and chasing celebrities. You just want to chill, make a few contacts, listen to some good music, and go home (alone). First Fridays Florida is a networking shindig with Caribbean flair--Reggae, Soca R & B on the DJ set. It’s $15 before midnight, $20 after midnight, but ladies get in free before 11 p.m. With sponsors like Hot 105 and Smirnoff, you may see just a little booty-shaking (But, that’s okay).

So, you love the Giants (secretly). Or maybe, you just love watching a squadron of firm derrieres scatter hastily across the field.

Booty Call Venues for Hotel Sophisticates

Since the birth of twin daughters, Tony and Ana have no time for their legendary bedroom romps (Back in college, Ana used to blister my ears with testimonies of Tony’s dexterity). Anyway, Tony called his wife for an all-nighter at an Ali Baba-esque motel on Biscayne Boulevard, but Ana wasn’t impressed. “We can afford The Delano!,” she shrieked. Yes, they can, but I thought it was a sexy twist to the typical, monotonous, married couple interlude...

Betsy Serves Free Bloody Mary for Sunday Brunch

Your dining experiences along Ocean Drive have been dry--caramelized booties and rubbery lobster tails, right? But, South Beach is stepping up, guys. BLT Steak, which opened this past March is serving brunch now. Their $24 prix fixe menu includes complimentary Bloody Mary, Mimosa or White Peach Bellini and a selection of main dishes. Not only is BLT Steak located at The Betsy Hotel, but it’s promising beautifully poached eggs, maple chicken sausage and a fresh bread basket. You be the judge.

Bedroom Bits: What Hospitality Details Make a Hotel Memorable?

While staying at Old San Juan’s El Convento Hotel, peeking from my pillow were two, tiny Dove chocolates and a handwritten note that said: “Thank you, Dinkinish. We love having you here.” Ever the romantic, I thought the handwritten-thing was a sweet, personalized touch. Sure, I love stocking up on the Bvlgari lotions and soaps at The Ritz, but it’s these thoughtful rock star- tokens that distinguish hotel hospitality from hotel nostalgia. What makes you go back to your favorite hotel?

Motel Mischief

As an old friend and I cruised down Biscayne Boulevard, we talked about motel mischief. In high school, she used the Vagabond motel parking lot to transform from a Catholic school notebook-nibbler to a North Miami Senior High misfit. Bye-bye school uniform. Hello daisy dukes. lol It made me think of my first motel moment at the Vagabond, back when Biscayne Boulevard was naughty by nature and a weekend at Holiday Inn was considered high class. Tell us about your mischievous motel moment.

That is perfect. When it comes to consideration of favorite hotel then I have few things. 1) Like Dinkinish mentioned, personal touch to warm welcome. 2) If I am a regular guest then special treatment on birthday. For example, some incentive offer on birthday 3) This might be way more expectation but if hotel start considering guest's preference with respect to their favorite air freshner fragrance....

Some of the hotels offer free shuttles to the airport. I haven't done this myself, but I have been on the shuttle when people just parked at the hotel and jumped on the shuttle.... Read more
