		<description><![CDATA[It’s always interesting to be among the first guests at a hotel, especially during a “soft” opening.  The last pieces of equipment are being delivered to the fitness center, the shrubs are still being planted, and the staff is getting acquainted with the hotel and with each other.
When you enter the Novotel  München Airport hotel, you immediately understand why this is the brand’s flagship property.  Guests are greeted by an ultra modern lobby and reception area, attractive and comfortable Ligne Roset furniture, and an experienced and accommodating staff.
There’s a ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine taking a modern, boutique hotel and dropping it into the middle of your favorite art museum.  That’s the best way to describe the 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville,  Kentucky;  the city best known for the Kentucky Derby, horse country, and bourbon.  The two dedicated and passionate art collectors who created the 21c Museum Hotel wanted to highlight another aspect of Louisville: its growing arts community.
The 21c Museum Hotel is dedicated to twenty-first century artists (hence the name 21c) and everywhere you look – from the moment you walk ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the old adage ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ may be applicable to some brands,  the people at Infiniti chose to throw that logic out the window with their 2011 QX brand where sales were already up 200% in 2010.  Infiniti took their tag line of “inspired performance” to task by focusing updates on several areas – most impressively with their technology &#8211; and executed pretty successfully.
I was able to experience this change myself when I test drove the car during a visit to Louisville, Kentucky.  The ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most beautiful parts of Italy, Alto Adige, is actually German speaking.  It’s known to many as the Südtirol, or South Tyrol, and was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1918. Today, it is part of the Euroregion Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino.
The borders of the region, comprised of the Austrian province of Tyrol and the Italian provinces of South Tyrol and Trent (Trentino in Italian, Trient in German), are formed by the former former Austrian County of Tyrol (Gefürstete Grafschaft Tirol), which was divided between Austria and Italy after the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comprised of an elegant mélange of buildings from the Baroque, neo-Classical, neo-Renaissance, and modern eras replete with traditional Czech design elements including exquisite Bohemian crystal chandeliers and wooden panels, the soothing environment of the Four Seasons Prague was a welcome antidote to my 380-kilometer drive from Munich.
The hotel first opened in February 2001 and had to close after it was damaged in the 2002 floods in Central Europe, which caused billions of euros of damage in the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, and Croatia.  In the Czech ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pianist Yefim Bronfman is not a household name but his concert at Carnegie Hall this past Monday may go a long way towards changing that.
Bronfman’s program brought together a variety of works and composers that one would not immediately think of grouping together.
Written in 1806, Beethoven’s Thirty-Two Variations on an Original Theme in C Minor is indeed a major but less performed work.  Based on a theme devised by the composer himself, the piece gave Bronfman the opportunity to display his incredible dexterity and endless energy.  The variations themselves provide ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here’s a quiz: the Art Restaurant, located inside the Four Seasons Seattle and across from the Seattle Art Museum, gets its name from
a.)  Its location across from the Seattle  Art Museum
b.)  The collection of art by leading Pacific Northwest artists housed in the Four Seasons Hotel
c.)  The restaurant’s philosophy that a restaurant should be designed as thoughtfully as a work of art
d.)  All of the above
The correct answer, of course, is d – all of the above.
In Art, art is all around. The walls are sculpted from woods of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a public holiday, so the roads were empty at rush.  Most flights were full, but the American Airlines Terminal 8 seemed welcoming and peaceful.  I had printed a boarding pass before leaving and there were only two people ahead of me in the first class security line so my entire wait consisted of about two minutes.
Despite the lack of traffic, I had played my arrival time close to the vest and arrived less than an hour prior to departure so I spent about half an hour in the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the Acura ZDX’  introduction at the New York Auto Show last year, Acura vice president Jeff Conrad opined that the car “takes the best attributes of a stylish coupe, a versatile sedan, and a flexible SUV,  and successfully blends them into a head-turning vehicle for active and adventurous individuals to explore their passions.”
My introduction to the 2010 Acura ZDX was a bit different – and more painful. The car’s plunging roofline, an increasingly popular yet still daring design, greatly inhibits entry via the rear doors.  The design of the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s unusual for me to walk to a hotel but, thanks to Seattle’s brand new light-rail system, which transported me from the Seattle-Tacoma Airport to downtown Seattle in 37 minutes for $2.50, I was able to have a pleasurable walk past the Pike Place Market area enjoying unusually, for a mid-February day in Seattle, warm (15°C/59°F) and sunny weather.  The new Four Seasons Hotel Seattle, opened in late 2008, is almost directly on the bay and built in a U shape, which means that 80% of the guest rooms have ...]]></description>
