The 8 Best Hotels in Paris

Posted : 3/7/2024 | March 7th, 2024 Paris is one of my favorite cities in the world. It’s a city I’ve visited countless times, I lived there, I’ve run tours there. I’m one of those people who thinks it lives up to all the hype. But, it’s also a huge, sprawling city with 20 different neighborhoods and hundreds of hotels ( here’s my neighborhood by neighborhood breakdown of the city ). I field a lot of questions on what area of the city to stay in (answered in the above post). But, in this post, I want to talk about my favorite hotels. I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels in Paris. Some good, some really terrible. To help you plan your trip, here’s my list of the best hotels in Paris: 1. Hotel Bar Paris Bastille I love the location of this hotel: it’s literally right across from the Bastille. A three-star boutique hotel, the sleek rooms have modern and minimalist décor, but they’re not super large. They are really well designed though, using the space efficiently so you won’t feel ...

The 7 Best Hotels in New York City

Posted : 3/7/2024 | March 7th, 2024 New York City is the most iconic and most visited city in the United States. With its distinctive skyline, diverse neighborhoods , world-class museums, incredible Broadway productions, and melting pot of cultures, NYC attracts millions of visitors each year. (It’s also the place I call home.) New York City is huge . I mean ten million people live here. Where do you stay when you’re here? There’s so many hotels to choose from. To help you plan your visit and narrow down your options, here’s my list of the best hotels in NYC: 1. East Village Hotel Located in the East Village, my absolute favorite neighborhood in NYC, this boutique apart-hotel is run more like an Airbnb than a traditional hotel. You get sent a code before arrival to check in and there’s no staff or restaurant on site (though an outpost of The Bean, a popular NYC café, is right downstairs). The studio apartments are designed to reflect the neighborhood’s bohemian spirit, with con...

The Chase Sapphire Reserve Review

Posted : 3/4/24 | March 4th, 2024 Nomadic Matt has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Nomadic Matt and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers. The upgraded version of the Chase Sapphire Preferred, the card_name is my one of my favorite premium cards. It offers a lot of fantastic perks for avid travelers. While The Platinum Card® from American Express gets all the fanfare in terms of luxury rewards cards , I personally prefer the Chase Sapphire Reserve. It comes with better points-earning bonus categories; more practical, everyday perks (which I’ll get into below); and more comprehensive travel insurance. Today, I want to share a bit more about this card so you can determine whether it’s the right card for you. What is the Chase Sapphire Reserve? The card_name (often referred to as CSR) is a travel rewards card issued by Chase. The card comes with a $550 USD annual fee and a host of benefits like lounge access, travel ...

The 7 Best Hotels in Sydney

Posted : 3/1/2024 | March 1st, 2024 Sydney is where most travelers start their trip to Australia . It’s the country’s largest city (almost 20% of the entire population lives here), boasting incredible beaches, a fun nightlife, and lots of museums and galleries. I’ve been visiting the city since 2007 and always have an amazing time. Sydney is gorgeous and I never get tired of admiring the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. But while the city has plenty to keep you busy , it is a bit spread out. That means picking the right place to stay is important. Over the years, I’ve stayed at countless hotels. There’s a lot in the city and picking one can be overwhelming. Here’s my list of the best hotels in Sydney: 1. Mercantile Hotel Located in the historic Rocks neighborhood, this three-star hotel is just five minutes walk from the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge. I especially like that it’s home to Australia’s longest-running Irish pub, where you can enjoy regular live music along wi...

The 7 Best Hotels in Dublin

Posted : 3/1/2024 | March 1st, 2024 Dublin is a moody, literary city. It’s a great city for history buffs and book lovers as it is home to lots of authors and poets. Here, you’ll find castles, traditional pubs, and countless opportunities to experience live music. Dublin is fairly compact, making all the sights, activities, and walking tours easy to do. You can get pretty much anywhere on foot. Therefore, when you’re thinking of a hotel, don’t worry too much about where it is located (unless it’s far from the center). The city’s tram system makes it easy to get around too. Here’s my list of the best hotels in Dublin: 1. Harcourt Hotel Located in the center of the city, this three-star hotel is housed in a series of historic 18th-century Georgian townhouses, one of which was once the home of famed writer George Bernard Shaw. There’s a bar on-site that regularly hosts live music, as well as both a restaurant and a beer garden. The rooms, while not huge, feature nice touches of ...
