We know what you’re thinking: cemeteries aren’t often places you’re dying to visit. (Excuse the pun.) They can be spooky, boring, and even run-down. But there are some graveyards around the world that are hauntingly beautiful with drop-dead gorgeous views and museum-worthy artwork. From Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah to the cliffside Waverly Cemetery in Australia,…
Considering that holiday decorations seem to spring up the day after Halloween, it’s safe to say people (and marketers) look forward to the Christmas season. Twinkling lights, snowmen, and gorgeously embellished trees fill the streets, creating an undeniably jubilant atmosphere. We love squeezing in as many holiday-centric festivities as possible — from attending holiday parades…
Let’s face it; when you think of American cuisine, leafy salads, quinoa, lentils, and organic poached eggs don’t spring to mind. In fact, one of the most impressive aspects of American cooking is its ability to pack on even more calories to an item already considered to be a naughty indulgence. Americans took peanut butter…
We’d argue that the best part of any season is its food! And fall may have the three others beat…all we have to say is pumpkin, right? And while you can get great fall eats all over the world, there are some spots that do autumnal specialties — like cider, apple pie, and good ole…

It’s that time of the year again! Time for ghosts and ghouls, witches and zombies, bobbing for apples and seasonal coffee beverages — in seasonal cups! Thanks, Starbucks. That’s right, we’re already just around the corner from Halloween. Every town or city has it’s own way of celebrating the spooky night, from family-friendly parades to…

Haunted houses, elaborate costume contests, and masquerade balls are all fun ways to celebrate the spooky holiday. Many hotels are also fans of the ghoulish day (or at least know…
A crackling fireplace, hot apple cider, vibrant leaves…these are just a few of the (amazing) things we associate with fall. And taking a cue from the dropping temperatures, at this time of year, hotels begin to entice travelers not with their refreshing pools or sandy beaches, but with cozy autumn amenities. From bed-and-breakfasts perfect for…
Hotels are travelers’ homes away from home — and sometimes their secrets retreats — so it’s no surprise that they’ve been the sites of many an invention, scandal… and even birth! While they operated under different circumstances than they do nowadays, and were not regularly referred to as hotels until the late 18th century, hotels…
