Review: LOTTE HOTEL SEOUL

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: I arrived in Seoul in the evening and was treated to dinner by our local representative, Jeff Gapshin Hwang, and his son, Franco (named after me). After an enjoyable time, they dropped me off at LOTTE HOTEL SEOUL, where I was booked in the recently renovated Executive Tower. Check-in was swift; I did have extra bags full of gifts, which they promptly delivered to my room.

Remarkable Medellín

Visiting Medellín in Colombia: The Country of Beauty is like stepping into a fantastic story — literally, as the city in the Western Colombian Andes region inspired Disney’s Encanto. Here, valleys, the world’s tallest palms, vibrant communities, colorful houses, garden-like balconies and more prove reality is more picturesque than anything on film. And it’s especially more tempting following Medellín’s remarkable transformation, shedding its troubled past and reawakening as a city of innovation, art, cultural richness, modern infrastructure, thriving tourism and resiliency.

Review: Newport Marriott Hotel & Spa

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: Valet service was prompt and efficient, and the reception provided a seamless and swift check-in. The lobby, characterized by its spaciousness, high ceilings and open layout, features a Starbucks on the ground floor along with two dining options: MainSail and Skiff Bar.
