As of today, The Hotel Investigator is represented by a new domain:

Should you have already bookmarked my page, it will redirect automatically.

The Hotel Investigator has now incorporated some upgrades which are referenced under a respective tab in the main menu:

Galleries now complement my ‘close look’ posts whenever possible by 27 additional views and comments that convey each property through my eyes;
Maps allow for a better geographical overview of my investigations and provide the exact location of each locale discussed in the blog.

The Hotel Investigator is taking a summer break in order to collect exciting new insights throughout Italy. Please stand by and look forward to new posts and close looks at exceptional locales resuming June 25, 2013.

Today’s post will introduce a new category: Two on the Go

Paris, Madrid, Hamburg, Cologne, Deauville, Monte-Carlo, San Francisco…
What is the common denominator of these locations?

A pair of historic hotels, often in close vicinity, that are the obvious contenders in the category of premier hotels. While I take a look at a first pair today in Dusseldorf, Germany, stay tuned for more pairings to come, all of which will precede my subsequent brief or close look (and post).

Bonjour and thank you for your interest in The Hotel Investigator.
