Limousine Rentals Let You Travel in Style – SocialiteTravel.com

October 24, 2008

It used to be that limousine rentals were mainly for those celebrating their wedding day. The bride and the groom along with their wedding party would ride to the church and the reception in style. In most cases, a stretch white limousine was reserved for the day.

 

Limousine rentals aren’t just for those heading down the aisle any longer. People are choosing to rent a special set of wheels for everything from graduation day to a birthday. With the low cost of limousine rentals you can ride in style regardless of the occasion.

One popular choice for limousine rentals is in a place that you may not have considered before. Have you ever arrived at an airport in an unfamiliar city only to search endlessly for the taxi stand? Once you do find it you may be facing a long wait while other visitors who arrived first, get the first chance at the available cabs.

Instead of struggling to find a cab to take you to your hotel, you can opt to call up one of the local limousine rental companies. These companies are generally about the same cost of a cab ride and they offer you a choice in the type of car you want to be picked up in. A four door sedan may not be as flashy as a black limousine, but it might be a bit less expensive, which will make it very attractive to the budget traveler.

A really fun idea that many people are choosing is limousine rentals to take them to a local nightspot or concert. We live in an age where everyone is aware of how dangerous it is to drink and drive. If you are heading out one evening with a group of friends, instead of arranging for a designated driver, think about a limousine rental. With everyone chipping in, the cost will remain low and you’ll also be able to enjoy the fun of arriving at your destination in a limousine. You also won’t have to worry about how you’ll get home, if you arrange beforehand for your driver to pick you up at a certain time.

Regardless of why you choose limousine rentals, one thing is clear. A limousine speaks of class and sophistication. With many limousine rental companies offering discounted rates and specials for repeat customers, you can go from point A to point B in a stylish set of wheels without breaking the bank.

Boutique Hotels – SocialiteTravel.com

October 15, 2008

Boutique hotel is a term popularised in North America and the United Kingdom to describe intimate, usually luxurious or quirky hotel environments. Boutique hotels differentiate themselves from larger chain/branded hotels and motels by providing personalized accommodation and services / facilities. Sometimes known as “design hotels” or “lifestyle hotels“, boutique hotels began appearing in the 1980s in major cities like London, New York, and San Francisco. Typically boutique hotels are furnished in a themed, stylish and/or aspirational manner. Although usually considerably smaller than mainstream hotels, often ranging from 3 to 100 guest rooms, some city-centre boutique hotels may have several hundred. Boutique hotels are always individual and are therefore extremely unlikely to be found amongst the homogenity of large chain hotel groups. Guest rooms and suites may be fitted with telephony and Wi-Fi Internet, air-conditioning, honesty bars and often cable/pay TV, but equally may have none of these, focusing on quiet and comfort rather than gadgetry. Guest services are often attended to by 24-hour hotel staff. Many boutique hotels have on-site dining facilities, and the majority offer bars and lounges which may also be open to the general public.

Despite this definition, the popularity of the boutique term and concept has led to some confusion about the term. Boutique hotels have typically been unique properties operated by individuals or companies with a small collection. However, their successes have prompted established multi-national hotel companies to usurp the term and/or try to establish their own brands in order to capture a market share. The most notable example is Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide’s W Hotels, ranging from large boutique hotels like the W Union Square NY to the W ’boutique resorts’ in the Maldives to true luxury boutique hotel collections like the Bulgari collection, SLS Hotels, Thompson Hotels, Joie De Vie hotels, and The Keating Hotel, among many others.

There is some overlap between the concept of a small boutique hotel and a bed and breakfast.

In the United States, New York remains the center of the boutique hotel phenomenon, as the original Schrager-era boutique hotels remain relevant and are joined by scores of independent and small-chain competitors, mainly clustered about Midtown and downtown Manhattan. The French Quarter and Garden District, New Orleans have several dozen boutique hotels, most of which are located in old homes or inns. These usually provide an ambience based on 19th-century antiques, artwork with New Orleans themes, vintage or reproduction furniture and decor and/or interesting historical associations. Miami and Miami Beach also have a large number of boutique hotels, mostly found along the beachfront streets Ocean Drive and Collins Drive. Most of these are in buildings from the heyday of the Art Deco period. Their attractions include the Art Deco ambiance, beach access, nouvelle and Latin cuisines and tropical-themes interior decor.

The concept of boutique or design hotels has spread elsewhere outside the US. A good example is Thailand where many boutique or design hotels are sprouting, especially in resort locations, such as Phuket and Hua Hin. Boutique hotels are even now appearing in such places as Indonesia, Shanghai, Iceland, Peru and Turkey. Boutique and design hotels are becoming increasingly popular in Far Eastern cities such as Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong and even Beijing.

Venues With the Best Bottle Service in the Hamptons – SocialiteTravel.com

October 13, 2008

Summer in the Hamptons has its own glamour. Big parties, fashion shows, charity shows and wine tasting events mark this time. The beaches are occupied with people who then head out to hotter clubs and parties. There is so much rush during summer’s that getting a restaurant reservation can be difficult. But the beauty and pleasant nature of the Hamptons has been attracting writers, artists, farmers, fisherman and wealthy for many years now. The Hamptons is the string of villages and towns that stretch for about 40 miles from the West Hampton to Montauk. It is surrounded by the Gardiner’s and Peconic Bays in the north and Atlantic Ocean in the south.

The bottle service is now no more just an American trend which was believed to finally calm down, fade out or be replaced by some other unknown trend. It had continued to grow to unbelievable height and has created a niche for itself in the life of the Americans. Much of the credit for this goes to people like David Sarner, the Co-owner of the Pink Elephant that has kept this trend alive. Though bottle service is not new and can be called classic, the word trend is still associated with the bottle service. Nowadays there are new trends within the bottle service concept and hence it keeps the whole genre new and fresh. The fashion and music industry is interlaced into the bottle service concept. Champagne is the most promoted and consumed drink by the celebrities whereas in the less important and tertiary markets, the bubble has its own on-premise charm.

Clubs are filled with excitement during summers and bottle service at $1500 is the only way that will let you enter such clubs until you are a celebrity. Some of the important venues for the best bottle service in the Hamptons include: Dune, Pink Elephant and Lily Pond.

Dune: it is the latest it-club that has made its way to the Hamptons. A VIP lounge and a thrilling dance floor make the atmosphere electrifying. They offer delicious cuisines and great service. It offers one of the best bottle services in the Hamptons. It spots a metal tree with three bottles (375 milliliters) of Absolut. There is a Mandarin, regular and Ruby Red. The customer can have three bottles of different flavors instead of just one. It costs about $450 for the trio and included some great service.

Pink Elephant: it is one of the best nightclubs in the United Sates. They offer plush bottle service which surrounds a small dance floor. The house music is electrifying. Nowadays, Pink Elephant has literally customers competing in bottle wars with men shipping out huge bottle containing confetti and sparklers.

Lily Pond: another nightclub that’s been becoming increasingly popular in bottle service. It houses navy and white striped couches serving as bottle service area at the center of the dance floor. There are banquettes that serve as posts for the bottle service. The music is great and the cuisine is mouth watering.

The bottle service has great future in the United States. Though there had been people who are opposed to it, it had moved from a mere trend into a big industry.

Ski Resorts for the Rich & Famous – SocialiteTravel.com

October 12, 2008

Photographers follow celebrities every where they go, from the grocery store and the nail salon to a night club and even the doctor’s office. But where do celebrities go when they are looking to hit the slopes? With hundreds of ski resorts located all across the world, the rich and famous look to go to the most elite and fabulous resorts they can find. Here is a list of ski resorts that celebrities have either been spotted or call their home.

Aspen, Colorado
If you’re looking to share the slopes with a wide variety of celebrities, than look no further than a ski holiday in Aspen, Colorado. Located in the Rocky Mountains region, this ski resort town is the home to many celebrities. Because of its quaint atmosphere, celebrities levitate here to get away from the hustle and bustle associated with New York City and Los Angeles. John Denver once had a house in Starwood, which is within close proximity to Aspen. Singer Mariah Carey has also visited Aspen, spending the last few Christmas holidays there. Other actors and actresses that call Aspen their home are Kevin Costner, Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Jack Nicholson, Felicity Huffman and Michael Douglas.

Sun Valley, Idaho
I small town with only approximately 1,400 residents, many celebrities flock to Sun Valley to get away from their hectic lives. Sun Valley utilizes Bald Mountain which has a 9150 feet incline and a 3400 feet vertical drop. Ernest Hemingway has been said to have stayed in suite 206 of the Lodge during the fall of 1939. During his stay, Hemingway finished one of his most famous novels, For Whom the Bell Tolls. He became a part-time resident of Sun Valley for approximately 20 years and in 1966 a Hemingway Memorial was constructed about a mile from the lodge. Other celebrities known to make their way to Sun Valley include Teresa Heinz Kerry, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher.

Chamonix Mont-Blanc, France
Across the Atlantic Ocean and nestled in the Alps is one of the most famous ski resorts in the world. The Chamonix Mont-Blanc in France is home of the world’s longest ski run, the Vallée Blanche, which is 13.7 miles in length.

“Celebrity-Spotting”: A Holiday, Not a Hobby – SocialiteTravel.com

October 9, 2008

The evolving face of travel in the 21st century has seen the traditional vacation holiday package take a backseat in the hearts and minds of holiday-goers. Instead, it has given way to the concept of the “themed vacation” – from Aztec tours in Central America to Lord of the Rings themed trips to New Zealand. But, in today’s celebrity-obsessed world, one themed break is rising quickly through the ranks: the idea of the “celebrity-spotting” getaway.

Indulging in a bit of celebrity-spotting on your holiday is a great way to inject some excitement into your lifestyle. And don’t think that Los Angeles is the only city in which you’ll be able to rub shoulders with the rich and famous – many world hotels and resorts that are frequented by high profile celebrities or sportspeople are now instantly recognisable.

For instance, Barbados is arguably one of the world’s best locations for sighting celebs. Legendary musicians like Mick Jagger and Sting are regular visitors to the island, while Tiger Woods decided he liked Barbados so much he chose it as the location for his wedding. Moreover, with stunning white sands, palm trees and crystal clear blue waters, Barbados gives any holidaymaker the opportunity to feel like a star.

Dubai has also gained popularity as a new tourist destination, amongst both celebrities and their erstwhile fans. With year-round sunshine, unparalleled opportunities for shopping and a stunning architectural landscape, Dubai has played host in the recent past to a range of stars, from Hollywood A-listers to European football clubs. The Jumeirah Beach Hotel, one of Dubai’s premier destinations, has seen the likes of Ben Stiller, Jessica Alba and the Liverpool Football Club walk through its doors. What’s more, the city strives to cultivate a very high-class lifestyle for all its residents and visitors; so finding a 5-star hotel in Dubai in which to indulge in starry-eyed sightings is unlikely to be difficult.

Though seen by many as past its heyday, the French Riviera still holds some weight in the celebrity holiday stakes. Seen as the playground of the Jet Set in the 1950s and 1960s, France’s celebrated Cote d’Azur was popular with the likes of Brigitte Bardot and Jean-Paul Sartre before being populated by the playboys of Monte Carlo and the nouveau-riche. But take a trip to the French Riviera in the summertime and you’ll still be able to revel in some celebrity-sightings. Head towards St Tropez’s booming nightclubs or visit Cannes during its infamous film festival, and the rewards are sure to be huge.

So whether you’re planning to scour the streets of Las Vegas in the hope of a fleeting glance of George Clooney, or you’re hoping to devour all the delights of Madrid with the intention of setting eyes on the England football teams’ dedicated WAGs, it’s clear that celebrity-spotting need no longer be just a hobby. In fact, it’s a fantastic idea for a holiday – one that’s sure to add endless glamour and sophistication to your travels.
