The taste and feel of decadence in the heart of London

Beautiful Corinthia Hotel Lobby Lighting

Just steps away from the Thames, in the heart of London, England, I found the Corinthia Hotel. This hotel was a pure treat of delicious decadence that it not the norm for a traveler like me.

From the moment I, finally, laid eyes on this grand Victorian building I was so impressed, and relieved that I had found it. Not that it’s hard to find, at all.  But a few human errors and wrong decisions, including exiting one tube stop too late and some back tracking because of a missed exit off the pedestrian bridge over the Thames, made this experienced traveler feel a bit like an amateur.  And with no one to blame but myself, I was just that much more relieved when the Corinthia finally came into view.

Enjoying a culinary adventure in Leeds

Pintura - Pan Con Tomate

When I was in university, I met an exchange student from University of Leeds.  She described the City of Leeds, as an  industrial and functional place, without much culture and style. I was pleasantly surprised at all it had to offer when I passed through this cosmopolitan city on a recent trip through England.

From the moment I got off the train, I was impressed.  Right beside the train station was my hotel, The Queens Hotel.  Now in my experience, quite often the hotel beside the train station is not always the best.  Maybe their locations are great, but they can be the hotels that time has forgotten with little to offer than a questionable bed.

Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Netherlands: Here, you’ll find food in clever spaces

Markthal Rotterdam

Food markets in Europe have a long history and have played an important role in every village, town and city. But Amsterdam and Rotterdam are figuring out a way to modernize the market and introduce new ways to enjoy it.

Rotterdam has built the Markthal Rotterdam. Close to a new pedestrian shopping district, transit and the downtown core, the enclosed structure of curved glass combines a typical fresh market with restaurants, a grocery store and condominiums. It’s a place where the locals do their daily and weekly shopping. And it’s a great place to visit.
