Returning back to France from a business trip in Hong-Kong, I took the opportunity to upgrade my business class to first class – “La Première” – thanks to a special offer at 60.000 Flying Blue miles. Of course, Air France is not a “premium” company like Emirates or Singapor airlines but its first class is not bad and they made…
Usually for a business trip I don’t care about the hotel ; I book the closest one from the place I have to go and that’s it. Well, I was very lucky that the W Taipei was the nearest one because it rises directly my TOP 3 for all worldwide hotels I ever stayed in ! Simply incredible, from the…

You have so many monuments or museum to see that you don’t need to mind about a specific tour. For the first time we used the…
For my second stay in Rome I chose a town center hotel (last time I was far away at Waldorf Rome) and I trusted Leading Hotels of the World to find a good place. The Majestic Roma is pretty cheap compared to others 5-star residences in the center so the choice was easy, even if the classical style was not…
