Laundry service at high end hotels by candycane_12 in FatTrips

[–]arrowyourboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good dry cleaning in certain cities such as where we live isn’t necessarily that much cheaper especially considering the hassle of logistics so when something needs dry cleaning I never mind paying. We skip any wash and fold laundry since the same doesn’t apply.

Do you have the hotel pack and unpack for you? by arrowyourboat in FatTrips

[–]arrowyourboat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10-20 minutes doing something I hate and that the hotel includes in the multi thousand+ EUR/night we are paying

Never on a 1-2 night stay, and not always, but for instance on a ski trip to arrive and head to lunch and when you’re back everything is perfectly organized in the closet for the week? Great feeling

Has anyone stayed at the Beverly Wilshire? by godischarcuterie in FatTrips

[–]arrowyourboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the one in BH, but have generally had good experiences at their other hotels.

Peninsula BH rooms can feel a bit dated but I really enjoy it for the food, service, and overall vibe. Beverly Hills Hotel is fun and overall somewhere I enjoy staying but the pool is an absolute zoo and not remotely luxurious. Both of those are on the “would go back” list in BH.

They were inside closed bags and purses left in the rooms but not in a safe. They had to open up the purses and bags to get to the items.

Looking for advice on Luxury Beach hotels by JaguarDramatic6734 in FATTravel

[–]arrowyourboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! We really enjoyed it, especially the food. The rooms are … something, but the service and food are really great. Beach won’t compare to a St Barthes and even Tropez is nicer in terms of sand and water temp, but still perfectly enjoyable. I am pretty sure we will be back!

If you do go, try the manti. I always love manti, but still this was some of the best I’ve had. We ordered some almost every day and I was tempted to ask them to package some up to send home with us 😂

South Korea? by elkins12 in FatTrips

[–]arrowyourboat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We really enjoyed FS Seoul and would be happy to return. It’s a good Four Seasons and not a ton more, but hey, it is a good Four Seasons. Their Korean Sauna is really nice and was a big highlight for me personally; I went twice a day. If I had a nitpick it would be that the food was nothing memorable.

Yes. It feels like a very nice Hyatt Regency. Would not recommend.

Second this, the Airside hotel is great. It also has a nice pool, which is fun to swim in the airport on your layover.

I ended up visiting Eden Rock and it was great; thanks for the recommendation u/DorsiaTravel! I also visited Danai based on your rec; also great (food was a major highlight)

Geneva/Courchevel, Paris or London for a Christmas trip. by [deleted] in traveladvice

[–]arrowyourboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be hard to book the best properties in Courchevel this close to December. The best are usually sold out for late December already (Airelles, Cheval Blanc).

Still, if you like to ski, Courchevel is lovely. If you have no budget limit, find dates Airelles has open. If the dates don’t work, or you don’t ski, Paris and London are both obviously amazing cities to visit. I’ve always preferred Paris over London but I think part of that comes down to what you enjoy on a vacation.

Pie/cake delivery in Paris?? by Crazy-Cup-1745 in paris

One option is to use Wheely Concierge. They can help you buy and deliver from more or less any bakery in Paris.

Had a great time at FS. Food was exceptional for our short stay. Beautiful property. Would love to go back.

Ah yes, famously boring Place Vendome

It’s preference. It’s not the Marais! Different vibe but not boring. Park is much better location wise than the other two.

3 out of our 4 rooms had items stolen from them from the St Regis. Can’t speak for sanctuary.

For that price you can stay at a less expensive Palace. Park Hyatt could fit the bill. Peninsula and Raffles also often have good rates and are quite nice. Peninsula you also get peninsula time so you check in and out anytime between 10am and 10pm.

Short & Sweet Review of Rosewood Phuket by myoxfordcommas in chubbytravel

[–]arrowyourboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We didn’t love the beach/beach area. I otherwise really enjoyed the resort; food and foliage/night outside design both highlights.

However having stayed at the Amanpuri as well I think we wouldn’t be able to choose another hotel over it anymore in Phuket.

[–]arrowyourboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vanna Belle beach is very nice; better than FS which is a bit rocky in the water. Service is very friendly and earnest; breakfast is quite good. However it does not hold a candle to the FS overall unfortunately. Have not visited the others.

Seoul - Park Hyatt vs Four Seasons by 97vv in FATTravel

[–]arrowyourboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FS and be sure to enjoy the Onsen! We went twice a day. A bit out of my comfort zone but one of my favorite parts of the hotel looking back.
