Staying at the Semiramis Hotel you’d be forgiving for believing that you were in Miami’s South Beach rather than Athens, Greece. The hotel’s furnishings and bright color scheme are extremely art deco. And extremely cool. The room’s features, such as flat screen televisions and luxury showers, are as contemporary as the artwork. If there’s a downside it might be that the Semiramis is located in the residential area of Kifisia and not near the main Athens tourist attractions. Of course, if you are seeking an escape from typical tourist Athens this is a good thing. The poolside bungalows are well worth the extra splurge; if you are opting for a standard room go for one with a pool view instead of one facing out on the park.

The User Reviews segment of the Suite Life Blog usually focuses on guest reviews of one of the luxury hotels included on the Perfect Escapes site. However, PE recently received a review of its own. This review came not from a guest, but from the Casa Natalia Hotel in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. An authentic Hacienda –style boutique hotel, Casa Natalia was a perfect addition to the Perfect Escapes site. With the finest luxury amenities and atmosphere from waterfalls to local art, Casa Natalia has been thrilled to host the discerning Perfect Escapes guests.
Here’s what Casa Natalia had to say about their experience with Perfect Escapes…
“Thank you so much for your great work and for the marvelous guests that have been in Casa Natalia during these months…We are more than glad to work with you!!”
Casa Natalia is so pleased with the caliber of guests that have stayed at their hotel and with their partnership with Perfect Escapes that they have extended the availability of their special offer for Perfect Escapes guests:
Book any Casa Natalia stay through Perfect Escapes and receive daily breakfast for two, welcome drinks, early check-in, late check-out, and room upgrade.* Plus, if you book the exclusive Los Cabos Luxury offer you’ll also receive 20% off the best rate on a 4-night or longer stay (it’s like getting your 5th night free).

For such a highly anticipated hotel, there has yet to be much in print or otherwise confirming what everyone is hoping for, a truly wonderful new TriBeCa, NYC property. Luckily, The Sunday Times of The Times UK managed to get an early glimpse of the hotel which is set to open officially in May (but is already on soft open). Here’s what we learned from the review…
If you had to pick three words to describe The Greenwich Hotel, they might be detailed, classic comfort, authentic. Ok, that’s four words but this hotel is truly a compilation of hand-craftedness, from the walls down to the books. Rustic American Oak beams, rich blues and greens and non-flashy comfort mix with hand-cut tiles, Italian accents, and carefully selected accessories. Clearly rich in thought and décor, the property does not shout for attention but rather sets a tone of welcoming luxury. There’s no elaborate front desk check-in, rather it’s done privately in each guest’s room, and soundproofing keeps noise to a minimum.
In addition to its American and Italian sensibilities, there is also a strong Japanese presence particularly in the Spa which apparently won’t open until the summer. However, what The Times found most amazing, was the one space most guests will not see, the Penthouse Suite. A 2-bedroom space on the top floor (8th floor), the suite features rooftop garden and hot tub, glass ceiling dining room, and of course amazing views. However, the views are one thing most guests will have access too, and many will be lucky enough to get a balcony as well. The Times suggested rooms 401 or 402 for this at no extra charge.
While The Greenwich has yet to be put to the test of guests and most reviewers, they have employed an A-list roster of hotel management, which in addition to the carefully though out design and décor lends itself to success, or at least the strongest possibility of it.
