What is the number one hotel in the world?

October 11th, 2009 Guest Posted in Travel No Comments »

Have you every wondered what is the best hotel in the world, I would wager that you probably have. But by best, what do we mean by the best hotel in the world. For some this could be a hotel of good quality, that doesn’t cost that much. For others it will be hotel of stunning quality that is going to be relatively expensive.

So how are we going to measure this? Well for this we won’t be looking at the price of a room. We will simply look at the quality of these hotels, and the world wide knowledge of them. So let’s start, I have narrowed my search down to 2 hotels, one of which will be considered by most to be the number one hotel in the world, however its contender is a good possibility.

Well let’s start off with the heavy weight champion. The Burj Al Arab is without a doubt the most iconic hotel in the world, the place is like a little package of heaven. If you are ever lucky enough to visit, then make sure that you cancel all of your plans and head there ASAP. It is in the same design as a dhow sail from one of the Arabian sail vessels. The inside closely resembles a bee hive, but of extreme modern and luxurious proportions. This hotel has so much to offer any visitor, a restaurant with a sea life centre in the middle, not to mention the rooms are like small presidential mansions.

So what hotel could possibly contend with this then? Well how about the Oberoi Udaivilas, India. This is a hotel in the world famous chain of Oberon established in 1934. Not only is this recognised as one of the top luxury hotels in the world, but it has even starred in a Jams Bond film, to be precise the film “Octopussy”. Each room has its own private infinity pool and the restaurant provides some of the best cuisine in the world. This hotel also wins awards every year, and is set in some of the most glorious scenery in the world.

Dubai holidays and Indian Ocean holidays are in great demand, rivalled only by Caribbean holidays or Maldives holidays.

Indonesia Tourism Relief As Holidays To Bali Voted As Amongst World’s Best

October 11th, 2009 Guest Posted in Travel No Comments »

Travel and Leisure magazine has named Bali as the worlds favourite holiday island following a recent poll of its readership.

The recognition comes as great news for a very nervouse Indonesian tourism industry which once again is facing a potential crisis following terrorist attacks. The latest being the bombings of the JW Marriot and Ritz Carlton hotels in Jakarta last month.

Bali topped the list of Island destinations nominated which included the Galapagos and Maui. The head of the Bali Tourism Board, Ida Bagus Ngurah Wijaya, has said that it was hoped the first place would be further evidence that Indonesia holidays would remain a successful economic earner for this part of South East Asia.

Many people believe that the latest bombings in Indonesia are unlikely to signal the catastophic decline in Holidays To Bali and Indonesia that the original bombing in 2002 produced though initial figures do show that many have cancelled their flights and holidays to Bali. “Although many hotels in Bali have reported cancellations of foreign tourist arrivals, this could not yet be taken as reflecting the whole situation in the industry,” Association of Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies (ASITA) chairman Ben Sukma said. Initial reports say that many luxury hotels in and around Indonesia have seen significant occupany decline, presumably as propsective guests are fearful of similar attacks. The backpacking fraternity, the Australian youth and other such traditional tourists who flock to the area seem to be unperturbed.

Since the original Bali bombing in 2002 targets closer to home have of course been targeted and there is a considered feeling amongst many travellers that the potential of bombings is just as likely at home as in other countries.
