Grand Hotel Milenij: A Roow With A Marina View

Posted on August 28, 2013 | Leave a comment

The day was long,

from early in the morning we took the road to the island of Krk. Back to Opatija, I have just 1:30 to get ready before going out. I am invited to a open air theater, for a Croatian comedy/music hall. And I will surprise myself to laugh a lot (picture 9). Yep you read that right! No, I haven’t taken any Croatian language courses : situation comedy only! Arriving at the hotel, I quickly go up to my room, where I attend a beautiful sunset on the terrace. I don’t want to move and just meditate in peace.

The view is awesome!

On the opposite bank (pictures 1 & 7), Rijeka I will visit tomorrow. Pictures 2 and 4: the marina out of a postcard at my feet! Time stopped like a Pagnol novel! I can spend hours and hours contemplating the scenery and gently fall asleep. But my mobile gives me the signal … The shower is getting impatient: Mademoiselle Le K, your day is far from over, LOL! A music hall awaits you and whistling the “New York New York!” of Lisa Minelli (I luv u Lisa), I won the bathroom.

Follow my whole trip in the CROATIA section. ENJOY! I was hosted by the Office National Croate du Tourisme and obviously all my opinions are mine.

Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach: A room with a seaview

Posted on January 27, 2013 | Leave a comment

Beautiful view’s room on the emerald sea of the Persian Gulf. Picture 1: right side of the panorama, one of the three artificial islands of The Palm or Palm Islands. Pictures 2 & 4: direct view of the public beach in front of Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach. Too bad the beach is separated from the hotel entrance by an incongruous parking. Otherwise the hotel is very well located for an express stay in the tourist area of Jumeirah Beach, in a pleasant long walk by the sea, including sidewalk cafes and restaurants, a few shops (like Boots, very handy) and close to the Marina Jumeirah, where you can find the Buddha Bar (coming up post). Picture 3: left side of the panorama from my room.

Schloss Hotel Korb: A Suite Decorated With Old

Posted on June 21, 2012 | Leave a comment

My spacious suite

is located in the central building of the Hotel Schloss Korb, originally an ancient castle (I’m not a huge fan of sleeping in castles). Upon entering, I immediately noticed a beautiful bouquet of purple orchids almost black, in the parlor bathed in sunlight and overlooking the rose garden (picture 4).

An old telephone, some beautiful books about South Tirol, crystal chandelier and old wood (pictures 2 and 4): like the feeling to break into scene of an Agatha Christie’s novel. Then I head to another room bathed in light: the bedroom, with two large windows opened onto a bucolic landscape of postcard…

The ubiquity of Dolomiti! I’m Charmed by the lovely bright atmosphere, the hangings, the bed (very comfortable, with German single duvets, I mean a single duvet for each one in a bridal bed! It has always struck me! Lol!). In contrast, the impeccable bathroom offerts space and comfort of today and I prefer.
