Ibiza Hotels And Some Of The Best Nightclubs In The World

Saturday, July 9th, 2011

It’s hard to say what makes the best nightclub and everyone has a different opinion on it, as the list of nightspots in the world is never-ending. Below are some of the fantastic clubs that never fail to satisfy their customers.

There is a little spot on the banks of the River Seine, close to some of the best Paris hotels that is causing quite a stir among tourists and Parisians. With an interior of gleaming metal, great views of the river and attracting some great local talent, as well as big names in music, Showcase is the place to be in the French capital.

A Mecca for all discerning ravers is Fabrik, on the outskirts of Madrid. The 5,000 capacity, carnival themed nightclub is one of the best. A converted power station, Berghain in party-city Berlin is the hottest place to be and keeps drinks prices low, refuses to incorporate a VIP area and hasn’t installed any mirrors. Hang out in this relaxed and friendly club for a great night out.

If you like city life but prefer your nightclubs in more balmy surroundings, allowing you to cool down on an outdoor terrace perhaps, then a great nightclub to try is the Castle Club in Ayia Napa. This busy resort is home to some of the best of Cyprus hotels so you can refuel in luxurious surroundings before another night out.

The home of the super-club is Ibiza, with clubbers embarking on pilgrimages there from all around every year. After a hard night partying, there are plenty of Ibiza hotels to rest your weary bones in, as for such a small island, they sure pack in the clubs. The world’s largest nightlcub is Privilege, which draws clubbers in night after night. Amnesia is known for its spectacular sound system and DC10 is a converted airport hangar. Space is constantly voted the world’s best nightclub, while 3,500 revellers regular fill Pacha.

A Stay At Disneyland Hotels For Adults To Enjoy

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Disney is a huge part of most children’s childhood. It’s always great to relive this from time to time though, as this magic never really leaves you. This is part of the reason why it has remained so popular with every generation that comes. Now, whether you’re a grown up or still a child, there’s nothing like a trip to Disneyland. See for yourself by booking into one of the fantastic Disneyland hotels and having a magical time!

There aren’t many better Christmas presents than a stay at Disneyland Paris over Christmas time. There are so many things to do for adults, and they aren’t hard to find. Here is our guide of the places to go in the Magic Kingdom:

The place to stay for a romantic getaway is the magnificent Radisson Blu Hotel. It is one of the most luxurious Paris hotels around, set in a complex just minutes away from one of the most popular tourist attractions in Europe. A stay at this hotel also means you are just minutes away from the Paris City Centre via a direct train from the airport to the Disneyland Paris train station. There is a free Radisson Shuttle which will take you right into the heart of the city and back, right from the entrance of the hotel.

When you get to Disneyland Paris itself, you will be treated to a whole new world. If you only arrive in time for the evening, enjoy a magical evening out at the Manhattan Cocktail Bar and dinner for two at the Blue Lagoon restaurant. You can then take a blissful boat or hydrobike ride on the Disney Lake. You will even be able to choose from a pedal boat or an electric one.

Disneyland itself is made up of many parks. There are the Walt Disney Studios, Disneyland Park and the numerous Disneyland hotels. Discover the Cinémagique behind the most famous Disney and Pixar movies as you step through the silver screen into a dreamland. Delve into 100 years worth of genius filmmaking.

Don’t miss the amazing nightly parade which takes place in the Magic Kingdom each night. See a production of The Lion King, one of Disney’s greatest stories or just take a walk and soak up the atmosphere. After the show, you can relive your youth with the nightly parade and meet n’ greet with all of your favourite Disney characters.

What better way to end your holiday than with some Disney themed retail therapy? Experience a fairytale shopping at Main Street U.S.A. or Disney Village, were you can pick up some souvenirs of this magical trip into the land of fantasy and wonder.

Paris Hotels: Time To Find Fine French Cuisine

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Whether is be in a tiny bistro in a beautiful square or a romantic candle lit fine dining location, in Paris, dining out if a much-loved pastime. If trying out new cuisines is your thing, Paris is made for you as in the city, a meal is much a necessity as it is a ceremony. All Paris hotels offer amazingly delicious cuisine too, so don’t be afraid to try something new!

Even if yours is one of the Paris hotels which offer breakfast, grab a delectable French pastry from a cafe or bodega and start your day the Parisian way. Or if you fancy a cup of tea, visit one of the many Tea Rooms and sip on a cup of chai whilst munching on a flaky croissant.

There is not much definition between cafes, bars and restaurants and most cafes and bars also serve some sort of food. Most bars and cafes operate a tiered pricing structure – it’s cheaper if you sit at the bar (and a far better place to people watch!) If you’re not after a large meal, visit one of the cafes or bars near one of the many Paris hotels. Cafes are usually reasonably priced and are great for lunchtime.

When it comes to dinner you’ll be spoilt for choice. If it’s legendary you’re after, you can’t get much higher brow than the Golden Triangle, formed by avenues Montaigne and George V. Alain Ducasse is a very well known and expensive restaurant, with a Parisian ambience. For traditional fare, try the charming C’est Mon Plaisir, which prides itself on authentic French cuisine. L’Oulette is a famous restaurant, run by top rated chefs and offering French delicacies.

Paris has its own quirks, like all cities. Tipping is less frequent, but if service is excellent, leave a euro or two. Bistros are the safest bet for non-stop and late dining. On a Sunday, many restuarants are open (except really small ones and Michelin Stars) particularly in the Bercy Village and the Marais. Many restaurants choose their own opening hours, which can change at a moment’s notice, so be sure to check to avoid disappointment.

Of course, a visit to Paris would be a waste, without a trip to the Petit Palais.
