The Shangri-La Hotel, Guangzhou offers spectacular views of the Pearl River and the city skyline, and both enhance the enchantment of your senses while you stroll through the hotel’s elegantly landscaped gardens. The lushness and tranquility of nature offer a sanctuary from the vibrant city just outside. A legend tells of five celestial beings riding into Guangzhou on five rams leaving prosperity and abundance onto this land. In Yue Xiu Park, you will discover this legend in front of the Stone Statue of the Five Rams.

The Lyle Hotel has had many lives. A professional office building for doctors and dentists. A carpenter’s shop. A boarding house. Even a private residence. Today, the Lyle Hotel has resumed its original purpose in providing comfortable lodging and tantalizing dining for visitors of the Columbia River Gorge in Lyle, Washington.

The Hôtel des Académies et des Arts  in Paris, located at 15 Rue de la Grand Chaumiere next to the Jardin du Luxembourg and Montparnasse, is dedicated to the creative arts. Modigliani, Picasso, Fujita, Chagall, Léger, Soutine, Brancusi, Zadkine, Man Ray, Apollinaire, Hemingway or perhaps Aragon, Sartre and Beauvoir were all regulars in Montparnasse and Saint Germain des Près at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, owners Charlotte and Laurent Inchauspé have given the painter Jérôme Mesnager carte blanche to draw his famous “white bodies” inside their boutique hotel.
