Arrival/Check-in: Arriving at a Four Seasons property is much like stepping into your own personal musical. My experience at the Four Seasons Chicago began just outside the entrance on East Delaware Place. I was fumbling with my cab receipts as the driver was cursing at me for paying with a credit card. Suddenly, my door flew open and a smiling doorman extended his hand to magically whisk me out of the cab. He kindly took my luggage and advised that he would have it delivered to my suite at once. At this point, I could practically hear the orchestra kicking off its musical number as I waved goodbye to the cab and whistled my way to the lobby on the seventh floor. Check-in was swift and easy. I was escorted to my room, and my luggage arrived promptly. Complimentary fruits, chocolate and bottled water arrived shortly after. (30/30)
Guest Quarters: On the 35th floor of the hotel, the view is what truly made the room. Upon entering my corner suite, I was dazzled by the view of the city in front of me. As I rounded the corner, a breathtaking vista of Lake Michigan (about as blue as the Caribbean) welcomed me into my tranquil bedroom. My suite provided a bedroom with a queen bed and a separate office with a sofa and minibar. I made use of the iPod dock and office space. Each room had a flat-screen TV and cushioned window seats. The bathroom had a stand-alone shower and a separate soaking tub, but bathroom amenities were sparse. (28/30)
Services/Amenities: WiFi was available in my room at no charge. Service in the hotel was excellent, and the staff was most accommodating. Aside from in-room dining, the hotel offers an array of dining and cocktail options. The Café is available for all-day casual dining, while The Seasons Restaurant guarantees an unforgettable evening accompanied by live piano music and a grand water fountain. The Seasons Lounge is perfect for afternoon tea or evening jazz by the fire. (29/30)
The Experience: At the Four Seasons, you know what to expect. The staff is truly eager to please and very helpful when it comes to questions. Although this is one of the tallest buildings in Chicago, the suites of the Four Seasons give a very private, secluded feeling, like having one’s own personal oasis in the sky.

May 5, 2021Crane’s Beach House Review
After driving through the arts and entertainment district of Delray Beach, I was expecting the lively and vibrant energy to follow me to my doorstep at Crane’s Beach House that evening. I was pleasantly surprised when the spirited rumble of a night downtown halted right at the front gate. As I walked the pathway to the front office for check-in, I was welcomed by a quiet rustle of the greenery and flowers that guided my walk, strung with lights and colorful, tropical décor. At check-in I was provided with a complimentary parking pass; although I would only be there for one night, I much appreciated this unexpected perk. I received my room information, including a pass code that would open my door. Keyless entry was a nice touch.

May 3, 2021European Sophistication Meets Latin Passion in Buenos Aires
Until you visit, you may never know the extent of Buenos Aires’ cosmopolitanism. From design and architecture to technology and banking — and across all the arts — Buenos Aires truly has a global feel that rivals Paris, New York and Tokyo. While it’s on the water, Buenos Aires is not a beach destination like Rio but rather a port city — hence locals are called Porteños and have a zest for life and want to share it with all who visit.
