View from President Hotel Athens / July 2007

After having stayed at the Divani Apollon hotel for a couple of days, during my stay in Athens I moved to the President Hotel more closer to the center of town and to the office of the client I had to visit.

The President Hotel in fact (as opposed to the Divani Apollon hotel) was quite […]

View from Hotel Firean Antwerp / October 2007

I was in Antwerp for three days last October. Normally I leave the day before to get a relaxing start, but this time I decided to drive to Antwerp the day the gig began. I couldn’t have made a bigger mistake. I was stuck in traffic for two-and-a-half hours, while normally, this trip only take […]

View from Scandic Aarhus / September 2007

Last September I was in Aarhus for the JAOO 2007 Conference. I hadn’t been there before and it was simply the best conference I had ever visited.

While at a conference, the hotel you’re sleeping in doesn’t really matter that much, you’re not spending a lot of time there anyway. The beds do matter of… they […]

View from Jurys Inn Islington, London / September 2007

Last September I stayed in London for a few days when I was on a business trip. My fine English colleagues had booked me a room near the training center where I was teaching class. The hotel was just fine. The WiFi wasn’t free, but there were free open access points available in the vicinity, […]

Views from Radisson Sas Helsinki / June 2007

Last June I visited a client of ours in Helsinki, Finland. I stayed in Helsinki for a week and had quite a good time. Earlier that year, I also visited Helsinki for a while with several sort of colleagues of mine but this time was definitely a different experience with temperatures 25 to 30 degrees […]

View from Divani Apollon Athens / July 2007

Last July, I visited a client in Athens and decided to stay a few days near the sea in advance of my visit. I looked for a hotel but couldn’t really find anything that I liked. I wasn’t able to book a room at Aegeon Beach Hotel, but unfortunately that was fully booked already. Finally […]

(No) View from Hotel d’Arlatan Arles / August 2007

Okay, it’s not much of a view, but I was lucky to at least have a room back in August, when visiting Arles on my trip through Europe.

After having driven across France for eight hours (from Bordeaux to the Marseille region), we couldn’t find any hotel in the area where we wanted to stay (near […]

View from Sheraton Cairo / April 2007

Last April I visited Cairo to conduct a training session at a client of ours. I had a great time there with several people I trained and concluded the week with a two-day stay at the Sheraton hotel along the borders of the Nile. I stayed on the 25th and close to top floor, which […]

View from Cabinas Las Arenas - Hermosa, Costa Rica / January 2007

Last January, I visited Costa Rica for the third time and (quite lazily) did the exact same trip along the Pacific Coast as the two years before, except for some small variations.
One of those variations was that I didn’t stay in Jaco, but in Playa Hermosa, to be right in front of the famous break […]

Views from hotel rooms

A while ago, I came across a couple of pictures that I took from hotel rooms. Since I travel a lot, I figured it would be nice to start a little series of blog posts that focused on what views certain hotel rooms offer. I figured it would be nice to let people know what […]
