i should add that this was the fanciest hotel i've ever stayed at and i felt out of place at the time. the shower and bath were my favorite part. like this must be how lady gaga or whoever lives.

some other ones that come to mind that i've stayed at, thanks to the cc thread:

- Eliza Jane new orleans. beautiful and uniquely restored historic hotel with modern amenities, perfect location (quarter adjace but not in the quarter)
- Andaz 5th avenue: very very nice but i won't stay in midtown again. a suffocating amount of the most boring type of tourist everywhere, and like nothing cool nearby?
- Hotel du Louvre: an incredible flex if you're going with a romantic partner. very adorable classic paris building across the street from its namesake. cool private exterior balconies to take in the street scene, great location from which to explore Paris.

Grand Hyatt Kauai

Andaz Maui

Park Hyatt NY

Those are my top three Hyatts. Didn’t like Andaz 5th that much. Andaz Savannah was nice.

I'm churning my CSP and a Hyatt card. Will be planning something for next year's vacation and I appreciate the hotel lists.

Is it the civilized, orderly boarding process?

Grand Hyatt in Kauai is a very awesome hotel and I very much appreciated your recommendation.

Grand Hyatt Baha Mar Bahamas is also one of the nicer hotels I've ever stayed in.

Drove around Denmark today. Their traffic lights do something we should do. In the second before a light changes from red to green, the yellow comes on with the red to tell you it’s about to turn green. They all let off their brakes when the yellow comes on & are already starting to push the gas pedal when the light turns green.

The Copenhagen airport security check might be the dumbest setup I’ve ever seen.

I thought Oklahomans were the slowest people on earth. I was wrong. It’s the Danes.

We were supposed to fly home today (Saturday) from Paris. The AA system going down pushed us to tomorrow. Now they’ve flat out cancelled our flight. Looks like we’re flying back Monday or Tuesday.

Stuck until Tuesday, but our AirBNB is open until then.

Get ready for all the HUR HUR HURS from your coworkers about getting "stuck" in Paris for an extended vacation. Wear it proudly.

I swear to God this is great. Looks ridiculous but doubles as an eyemask and stays in place as a pillow in any position. I've used it a ton

Any Cape Cod pro tips? Def taking the ferry to Nantucket and or MV. Other than that, just plan on chilling and eating good food.
