• Athens – heritage, architecture and charm

  Posted at 10:06 am by mylifemyworldrg, on July 25, 2019

  

  It is time to start to post some of my travels the past year. It has been a busy year, and time flies. When it slows down in the summertime, you get the time to reflect on what has passed and everything you have explored. And Athens is one of the beautiful cities I have had the pleasure to explore.

  

  

  

  Athens has the beauty and charm of the heritage sites and buildings around the city, together with charming streets and wonderful views. All this makes it a wonderful city to visit. And for me that loves history and architecture – perfect.  The city center is not that big, and can be crowded as it is a popular city for tourists. I visited in August, and according to the locals it is not so crowded this month because the locals are out of town on vacations.

  Since I am not to happy in standing in line for the tourist attractions, I have found my own “way” of exploring the most without. The first day on my trips I usually get on one of the Hop On Hop Off busses to get to know the city and “identify what to explore more in detail”.

  

  Acropolis

  

   

   

  In Athens I loved to stroll around in the charming streets, were you still feel the heritage ambiance.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

   

   

  

  

  

  

  

   

  And then I am always looking for a nice place to dine.. preferably with a view and some charm and great food, wine and quality..

  Luckily I discovered this place in Athens on my first day, and came back again and again.. A warm recommendation to visit Tudor Hall at King Georges perfectly situated on the Syntagma square. Here you get everything, the wonderful view, ambiance, attention, food and drinks.

  

   

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

   

   

  And in the evening I am hunting for the sunset. I enjoy to sit and relax and watch the beauty of the sunsets. I found the perfect setting for this at Hilton Athens..

   

  

  

  

   

   

  And yes, we returned to enjoy it with our dinner several nights

   

  

  

  

  

  As a Leading Hotels of the World traveler I stayed at the Divani Caravel Hotel in the beginning of my stay in Athens. I was upgraded to a suite with a very nice view to the Acropolis. The swimmingpool on the rooftop had also a nice view.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  One morning I had a perfect room service breakfast in my room

  

  

  

  After some days here, we moved to Syntagma Square area and stayed at NJV Athens Plaza.

  

  

  

  

  Here we enjoyed most the location and were happy of having King George and Grand Bretagne as “neighbours”, with more wonderful views and great dining.

   

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  The last night I explored the beaches of Athens, staying at Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso. A wonderful gem, and I got this room with a great balcony and view..

   

  

  

   

  

  

  

  Enjoying life 🙂

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  Sunset and evening ambiance by the pool area

  

  

  

  

  Breakfast on the balcony with a perfect view in a quiet morning

  

  

   

   

   

  So, do I want to go back and visit Athens again? Yes, I do!

  You know my blogspots are not so into details, so feel free to contact me if any questions on how, what, why’s.. 🙂

• Museum Hotel, Cappadocia, Turkey

  Posted at 2:09 pm by mylifemyworldrg, on April 21, 2019

  

  Museum Hotel – is a gem. Unique, in wonderful settings. Just to sit and enjoy the views, and all the historical items you can find all around you. Be sure not to pack the day with to many other things to visit in Cappadocia when you are staying at Museum Hotel, because you have to spend the time at the property..

  

  The room was very nice, with good size. And there was a lot of amenities. Even in the room a lot of historical items, making the ambiance great.

  

  Since there was changing weather while I was visiting, it was very nice to dine in the warm and cozy Restaurant Lil’a.

  

  The outside area was the best, scenery changing with weather and lighting trough the day. Could never get enough pictures of the views..

  

  In the morning, the two peacocks will be awaking you.. Or at least they was walking outside my window, giving me this joyful morning view..

  

  The breakfast buffet was large, with plenty of turkish and local products. Have to go back to get some pictures from it..

  The Museum Hotel experience was very good due to the setting, but many of the team members seemed a bit unexperienced and there was quite a few details missing to make it to the top of the 5 star hotels.

  But still, I hope to be able to revisit and it is on my recommended list for you to visit.

• Nairobi Serena Hotel

  Posted at 6:45 am by mylifemyworldrg, on March 26, 2018

  

  Wow – due to constructions and renovation work, your first impression is not the best. BUT, when checked in and you experience the hospitality and the afrikan ambiance of this hotel, you discover this is a gem!

  

  As a leading hotels of the world traveler, we were upgraded to a small suite, perfect for us. The room had a lot of amenities from Elemis (spa products) and other small details as a  fresh red rose on the toilet and a big bouquet of roses at the working desk.

  In the evening we got complimentary Nederburg sparkling wine from South-Africa,  together with some fruit. When we checked in there were a big basket with Out of Africa products as coffee, tea, nuts and chocolate. It felt as a lot, and again – from my opinion to be a member of leading hotels of the world is adding a lot of value to your stay (not any add, just a fact)

  

  The ambiance by the Pool Side Bar and Restaurant was very nice, the staff team very attentive and kind, and the food very good. We tried the Kenyan speciality from the menu.

  

  

  The Breakfast buffe was large and with a lot of fruit and juices.

  

   

  A very good start at our fist visit in Kenya and Africa. Today we are going to stay at the Giraffe Manor, and we are very much looking forward to it. And then we will revisit Nairobi Serena Hotel tomorrow, and it will be the perfect end on our short Nairobi Vacation.

• Exploring Beverly Hills & Hollywood

  Posted at 2:14 pm by mylifemyworldrg, on January 1, 2018

  

  This year we decided to visit and explore Los Angeles and California during the holidays. It was a good decision, we had a wonderful time.

  We stayed 4 nights in Beverly Hills, at Mr. C which is a member of The Leading Hotel of the World. The hotel was situated quite good in Beverwil Drive, not to far from Rodeo Drive.

  Rodeo Drive was dressed up for the holiday season, and I loved this area of the city. So clean and beautiful decorated. It felt safe to walk around alone, both in the shopping street of Rodeo Drive, and also the whole street while I one day walked all the way from Beverly Hills Hotel in Sunset Boulevard down to Wilshire Hotel.

  Beautiful signs

  

  

  Rodeo Drive

  The visit in LA was very good, but not everything was as expected. For me Beverly Hills has been a very positive surprise, while Hollywood for me was a turn down. I had expected that Hollywood was more glamorous, but appeared to be a “tourist trap” with very little charm – from my perspective. I understand that people would like to see the Hollywood sign and the Stars on Walk of Fame, but there is nothing else to see or experience. The area appeared dirty and with a lot of people trying to force you to buy everything from a sightseeing trip to a CD. For me it was quite fussy.

  

  

  

  

  Luckily we had this Best of Hollywood Food Tour the second day, were we had a private tour guide telling us a lot about the history of Hollywood. That added some value.

  Trisha, our private guide, had picked out some very nice places for us to visit and dine. First, she guided us around the Hollywood Boulevard area and taught us a lot about the history of Hollywood and the history of the different theaters.
  After a good hour, we started to drive to different restaurants. interesting places we would not have found or chosen by ourself. We had the best pizza ever from the Pizza Mozza 2go – try it if you are in the neighbourhood.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

   

  At Mr. C we enjoyed the accommodation and the balcony. One morning we had breakfast on the balcony after view the sunrise.

  One of the days I strolled around in Beverly Hills, and visited some of the beautiful hotels. Had tea at wonderful Peninsula Beverly Hills and had a very good lunch at Beverly Hills Hotel (Dorchester Collection).

  A very good dining option in Beverly Hills area, if you do not want to spend too much money on a meal is Cheesecake Factory in Beverly Drive. The driver who picked us up on the Airport recommended us Cheesecake Factory, and we are glad she did. They have a large selection of dishes, and even have their own “slim” menu. The portions are huge, and are ideal to share. We ordered one dish each, and it was way to much food. On our third visit we had enough experience to just order one dish each, and share instead.

  

  

  

  

  Another restaurant we visited and were very pleased with was Il Pastaio in Canon Drive. An Italian restaurant with very good ambiance and good food.

  We visited Cheesecake Factory in Farmers Market (Grove) and in Macy’s in San Francisco too.

  Our total experience dining in California or the country as whole, is that the food mainly is quite heavy and unhealthy. A lot of fat, especially for Breakfast were they mainly serve A la Carte.

  If visiting Universal Studios, the recommendation is to buy First in Line tickets. It is a bit more expensive, but the time you save is worth it.

  We would love to go back to Los Angeles, a big city and we did not have enough time to explore everything. But we would minimize the time spent in Hollywood.

  We also had a wonderful time at Santa Monica, see the link below;

  Hotel Casa Del Mar at Santa Monica Beach, Los Angeles, California

• Hotel Casa Del Mar at Santa Monica Beach, Los Angeles, California

  Posted at 5:43 pm by mylifemyworldrg, on December 30, 2017

  

  Casa Del Mar – This is my new favorite hotel, everything was perfect from start to end. Hotel Casa Del Mar is perfectly situated at Santa Monica beach, by the Pier. Beautiful setting to look at both the sunset or the sunrise. The hotel itself is beautiful with classic interior and decor in maritime colors. The hotel is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World.

  Even if we arrived early in the morning, they had the room ready for us for check-in. They had even upgraded our room, to sea view and view to the pier. A wonderful room with good size, with a large bathroom. A lot of amenities in the room, and the I loved the quality of the bathrobe and all the attention to details in the room.

  

  

  Loved the decor in the room, felt more like a living room at home than a hotel room

  

  

  View from the Room #1

  After the turndown service in the afternoon, there were wine and snack awaiting for us in the room

  

  

   

  One hour bike rental was included in the rate, and it was a wonderful ride from the Santa Monica Pier to Venice Beach and back. Since we visited in December the temperature was a bit low for relaxing on the beach. But it was perfect to enjoy and explore the surroundings without a crowd of people.

• Apple Farm Inn – San Luis Obispo, California

  Posted at 11:10 am by mylifemyworldrg, on December 30, 2017

  

  When visiting California, and driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco, we wanted to explore a genuine American Inn that would give us a specific ambiance and still a touch of high quality.

  It took a lot of time searching on the internet to try to find the perfect place, and also with a reasonable distance from both LA and San Francisco. Then Apple Farm Inn popped up, and it looked very charming on the website.

  We are so happy we discovered and explored this charming gem. As you see in the pictures below, the attention to the decor and details is great, and especially the Restaurant gave us the ambiance and feeling of an authentic American Inn.

  This is a gem that I have no doubt to recommend and is a perfect spot if you need a stay over when driving highway 101 or highway 1 between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

  The entrance from outside in both daylight and night;

  

   

  

  Main building and Lobby – When checking in they served a glass of chardonnay from the Winery of the Month, they also had a wine tasting in the afternoon included in the rate. A non-alcoholic option was apple cider. Four fresh, homemade cookies we got at checkin as well. 

  

  The entrance to the Restaurant and the Shop

  

  We visited Apple Farm just a few days before Christmas

  

  A beautiful car outside the main entrance, dressed up for the holidays

  

  

  All the lights made the Restaurant look warm and inviting, it was so charming and beautiful during the blue hour and when the dark sneaked in.

  

   

  The Room, a charming Queen Specialty room with both sitting area and fireplace. We stayed at room 328 in the Inn. Be aware that not all rooms are in the main inn, there are rooms in the Millhouse and Garden Rooms.

  

  

  The Restaurant was traditional with fun decor. The team of waiters was friendly and helpfull.

• Riga – Grand Palace Hotel

  Posted at 9:50 am by mylifemyworldrg, on October 22, 2017

  

  Do you want to have some recommendations on were to stay when visiting Riga? If you like to have a touch of Luxury but still at a favorable price I think Grand Palace Riga is a really great choice.

  From my perspective you get value for money. I guess it is a bit more expensive then many other hotels in Riga, but still compared to a many other capital cities the rates here are quite low. This is the city to try out a more luxury hotel without ending up “broke”. The hotel picked me up at the airport in a nice Mercedes E-class car at an affordable rate, convenient and safe.

  It is a wonderful hotel. It is a small, beautiful with both a historical and luxurious atmosphere. I think it is a gem. And I was really positively surprised. What I loved the most about this hotel was the Bar, were you could sit and relax, read, write, work (if you work in the sky), eat or drink. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and the service on top.

  I have some nice pictures to share with you;

  

  The hotel is situated in the Old Town of Riga, just next of  the “Three Brothers” and with a perfect walking distance to the rest of the Old Town. Just a few minutes walk to “everywhere”. I thought it was perfect.

  

  The Checking In was more “relaxed” than on larger hotels. The reception invites to a “personal touch”, while you sit down in the chair and they introduce them self and make you feel welcome and ensure that they want to assist you to make your stay in Riga as comfortable and beneficial as possible.

  

  

  

  I had breakfast in the restaurant the first morning. The breakfast buffet had a lot of choices, and was fresh and appealing. There were some healthy choices, and you could have freshly made eggs, omelets or pancakes if you wished.

  

  

  

  

   

  The room was nice and comfortable. It contained all I needed. Since I booked through Leading Hotels of the World, I got a very nice welcome gift Black Balsam, fruit basket with flower, and both still and sparkling water. The bathroom had a lot of amenities, and was light and maintained.

  

  

  

  As Mentioned before the Bar is the best place to be. Relaxed, very good atmosphere and nice decor. And not at least the staff, very attentive and professional.

  

  

  

  The Restaurant is situated in connection with the Bar. I did not try out the Restaurant, only had a Club Sandwich served in the Bar the first night, since I had a late arrival. The Restaurant looked nice. Something to be aware of is that the bar is a smoking area, and the restaurant is non smooking. I am a non smoker, and I am not used to smooking in public areas inside anymore. I can understand if someone get dissatisfied with the smooking in the Bar, but for me it was not a problem, I was here to enjoy my weekend and travel, and not focus on “negatives”. I spent time in the Bar when it was not  so crowded, and then the issue was gone.

  

  Here are some more pictures to try to shoe the “feel” and atmosphere of the hotel;

  

  

  

  The second morning I had a “sleeping morning” and had breakfast in the room (in bed). They had prepared it acorrding to my request, delivered and served on time. Ensuring a very good start of the day.

  

  

   

  I really enjoyed my stay, the staff team was very nice and caring, always assisting you in a professional behavior. Kind and smiling. Even if this was a solo travel I never felt alone.

  Today I am moving to another hotel, the newly opened Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga. Looking forward to get to know them as well, and later tonight visiting the Opera and listen to The Rose Of Turadia. New blog post on those experiences soon to come. Wishing you all a very nice day!

• Christmas at Bellagio and Las Vegas

  Posted at 11:56 am by mylifemyworldrg, on July 25, 2017

  

  Last Christmas we decided that we wanted to explore something else than the traditional Christmas Holiday, and traveled to Las Vegas and stayed one week at Bellagio.

  The Christmas spirit was filled by the amazing exhibition at the  Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden, and not at least the Fountains of Bellagio gorgeous compositions.

  

  

  

  

  

  It can be a bit crowdy during the daytime, but if you are an early bird, you can have some really good moments, both in the conservatory and in the coffee shop and cafés. There are a lot of really good restaurants at the Bellagio, we tried both Lago, Prime, Olives and Jasmine, and truly enjoyed dinners at each. We tried Harvest and Petrossian for a drink – very nice places.

  So you don’t have to leave the hotel to have some good moments. We wanted to try the well-known buffet as well, but we are not used to standing in line for so long time 🙂 We had a buffet at Hotel Paris instead.

  

  

  

  Las Vegas is a fun and exciting city. We stayed for a week, but did not get bored, just wanted to explore more.  And we did not spend time on the Casinos..

  We can’t wait to og back to Las Vegas and explore more. We had one day in the Grand Canyon – that is a must for us when travelling so far. We spent one day bus sightseeing, and had a longer stop downtown of Las Vegas. A completely different atmosphere than on The Strip.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  Both Bellagio and Las Vegas were wonderful, and I recommend strongly everyone to pay a visit there.

  If you want to know more details and information from our experience, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

• My three best moments in Helsinki

  Posted at 7:44 am by mylifemyworldrg, on July 24, 2017

  

   

  Here are my three best moments in Helsinki; 

  1. Passio – Restaurant with a very high quality of food. It is fine dining with a relaxing atmosphere. We had the 5 courses menu and had some very nice surprises during the meal. The food was really tasty, the waitresses was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. Even the high quality of food, both the atmosphere and the waitresses ware a bit informal, so a perfect combination if you love fine dining food in a more relaxed environment.  They also had their own brewery, and could offer very good beer to the menu.  Here you find the link to their website; Restaurant PASSIO – Enjoy!

  

  

  

  2. Shopping – Shopping is not my main activity while I’m travelling…, I am more to get to know the city and relaxing in a Café or Restaurant. But Helsinki was surprisingly nice for shopping. A lot of individual shops with different price ranges, and the exclusive shopping mall of Stockmann.

  We visited Helsinki for three days in the spring, and then there is time to shop as well since there were limited options for sightseeing etc. We stayed at Hotel Kämp, situated perfectly in the city center. Different shops and malls was situated within a short walking distance.

  3. Hotel Kämp – a welcoming and nice hotel, member of the Leading Hotels of the World. The hotel had a vibrant Bar and Brasserie. Since we visited the hotel and city during Vappu, a big celebration in Finland – it somethimes were a bit crowded with a lot of happy people!

  If you want to get to know more about the hotel visit these sites; Hotel Kämp and Leading Hotels of the World

  

  

  

  

  

  We explored some more in Helsinki too, like;

  Ateljee Bar
  At the Ateljee Bar, the view is a part of the pleasure. This classic, located above other bars on the 14th floor of Solo Sokos Hotel Torni, is the most unique choice for the first glass of the evening. If you want to learn more here’s the link; Hotel Torni Panorama Bar

  

  Helsinki Sightseeing Canal Cruise

  The only sightseeing tours offered when we visited Helsinki was Canal Cruise. We tried it out and had lunch included. The sightseeing tour was informative and we learned to know Helsinki from some new perspectives. But the sound quality from the speakers was not so good, and the lunch buffe had very limted choices and not the best quality.

• The City of Prague

  Posted at 6:51 pm by mylifemyworldrg, on July 10, 2017

  
  

  

  Last week I had the pleasure to visit the city of Prague for the first time – and hopefully not the last!

  My three best moments in Prague;

  1. The stroll in the Old City with all its small streets with plenty of charm. You feel like your going back in time, and even if there are a lot of tourists there, you get relaxed by the atmosphere and charm. A lot of small cafés or restaurants were you can sit down and enjoy day.
  2. Lunch at Hergetova Cihelna – a setting with beautiful views, and the food were surprisingly good. It is quite a large restaurant.  We expected it to be crowded of tourists because of the location near the Charles Bridge, but it was calm. We had a great lunch experience. Want to learn more –  Restaurant Hergetova Cihelna
  3. Enjoying the view of Prague from the Strahov Monastery and Restaurant Bellavista. A 15-20-minute walk from Charles Bridge, and you are on the hightes of Prague with a stunning view. If you want to learn more – Restaurant Bellavista with the view

  

  

  

   

  

  Prague is one of the most beautiful cities I have visited so far. I had heard and read a lot of nice things about Prague, but to experience it myself was much better the expected.

  

  

  

  

  I stayed at The Grand Mark Prague – a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. In the last years I have been a LHW traveler, staying at one of their properties if possible. I find my memership at Leading Hotels of the World to add value to my stay with nice benefits.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  The Grand Mark had a very nice garden, with two peacocks living there as well, offering some good entertaining from time to time.

  

  

  

  The city had great some architecture, and all the small streets in the Old Town was so cozy and appealing.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  We were in Prague for 5 days, and the last night we wanted to have Tapas even if that is not a “Prague”-thing. But we found this perfect Tapas place, with Live Music and very good atmosphere. A very good choice if you are done with the local food. The place is called La Boca and located at Hotel Salvator. Find more inspisration here – Restaurant La Boca
