Sheraton-New-York-300x201Now, I am not the biggest Starwood fan in the world, I am Marriott all the way, but that comes from my experience working inside of Marriott’s global company and knowing the service and values.  Starwood however is doing some amazing things and I can tell you for sure that they are coming up with some the trendiest hotels now.

Starwood as a whole has actually been pumping about $6 billion dollars into overhauling the Sheraton brand and has actually taken their name off of at least three dozen hotels just because they have not met the newest standards that Starwood is setting forth.

This hotel though, the one in the heart of Time Square is actually being deflagged in April, just because this particular hotel is not met the standards.  However, it will undergo renovation of $90 million dollars and when it’s done?  It will be an incredible hotel.

Andaz-Wall-Street-300x221Whenever you are traveling in New York, you have to make sure that you are staying at a hotel that reflects a lot of the New York fashion.  New York is one of those places that I absolutely love to visit, summer, spring, winter or fall – the season does not matter at all!

With spring right around the corner though, I have to say that I am super excited about the Andaz Wall Street.  This is actually one Hyatt hotel that I would love to stay at and it is actually in the financial district of New York.  Not only is this hotel one of the best in the world for New York, but look at the rooms.

Come on, that bed, the chair, the pillows, the desk?  It all screams New York and looks pretty darn chic!

Ojai-Valley-Inn1-300x192

Now that we have talked a little bit about Cambria and what you can expect there whenever you go, let’s talk about another place in California that is absolutely incredible.  Ojal Valley.  This place is actually known for their beautiful and great spas as well as they wine country that it sits on.

The ambiance is absolutely incredible and I have to say that this particular place in California is magically.  Especially when you consider one of its premier hotels, the Ojai Valley Inn, which is actually rated 5 stars on Orbitz, which is a hard rating to get. 

This place certainly has a cool, hippie and chic feeling, which is not a lot of places and I can tell you for sure that you will relax wherever you are in California!

California

One place that seems to be extremely under appreciated by everyone but the people that live there is California; this sunny, sunny state is actually fabulous if you are looking to get away for a little bit on a weekend.  California is filled with all sorts of different things and different sites to see and I can tell you for sure that it is breathtakingly beautiful.

While the weather in California might be a little chilly, right now – in March, the weather is just fine for a sunset stroll on the beautiful beaches.  If you are looking for a town to stay in, Cambria is certainly one place that is known for their beautiful beaches and their unique accommodations. 

Mainly, back in 2009, Cambria actually just had a lot of B&Bs, nowadays though, there are many different hotels, specifically the Colibri Boutique Hotel, which is breathtakingly beautiful!
