Jun 3rd, 2009 at 3:00PM: "Green" has become yet another upscale offer for hotels and resorts around the world. The concept allows a premium to be charged – and justifiably so, given the increased expenses that come with minimizing environmental impact. Guests get to feel good when they indulge, and the hotel makes a few extra bucks. Everyone wins, right?
Well, it isn't that simple. Any environmentally friendly ...Family Package at Naples, FL Ritz makes luxury attainable
Apr 30th, 2009 at 8:00AM: I love the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort. I spent a weekend down there just shy of a year ago, and it's become my mission in life to get back there. Until that happens, though, you may ant to see it for yourself. Even if you don't play golf (personally, I hate the game), there is plenty to enjoy.

Feb 23rd, 2009 at 3:00PM: There's nothing quite like getting your tight back muscles kneaded into something resembling a soft, warm mattress. Environment be damned! Whatever it takes to bring relaxation is worth it, right? At The Ritz-Carlton Spa in Orlando, FL, you won't have to choose between unblemished satisfaction and the planet your children (ironically, the source of your stress) will inherit. The "rooftop ...The truth about in-room adult entertainment
Feb 23rd, 2009 at 9:00AM: It's tough to report on the adult entertainment business. Data's hard to find, and ranges are substituted for exact numbers. Because of this, the smallest anecdote can be stretched and prodded for years, ultimately taking on a life of its own. Adult-oriented in-room entertainment – porn, dirty movies, the stuff that's pretty hard to order by mistake – falls into this category. Only ...Hotels cut back on fruit, everything else
Jan 24th, 2009 at 1:00PM: At the low end and high end, hotels are slicing away amenities. Some are the little things that you may not notice, but others will stand out. However you stack it up, you get less for your money. When you hit that discount rate, realize that you may be getting a discounted experience. What's disappearing?
