hotels, JK Capri & Michele Bonan

Remember all of the hotels we dreamt about last week...well all of those hotels have a common interest because they were designed by Michele Bonan who also happened to also design the JK Capri in Italy....which happens to be one my favorite hotels that has served as inspiration to me on more than one occasion as seen here. From the looks of a the sampling I gave last week I am sure you can see that whatever Michele gets his hands on turns to gold. I would love to stay at any one of the hotels he has had a hand in designing. I love all of those cute little chairs with the rings on the back that he uses more than not.

Anyway go here to see more Michele Bonan's work and go here to see more hotels that he has had a hand in decorating.

Now will somebody pls. go to stay at one of these fine hotels pls.?

Cipriani Ocean Resort (Miami)

Apparently we extended our stay in Italy. Were you nervous that we didn't have anywhere to stay yesterday? It was just so nice there in Italia that we couldn't quite leave but don't worry we will probably want to go back very soon. Well today we have some business in Miami (don't tell Will Smith..something about all no work all play okay..I'm going to Miami, welcome to Miami) and we are checking into the Cipriani Ocean Resort. It is so nice and clean that I think I could stay here for a long time. Just look how beautiful the room is.

NOTE: Does anybody notice that all almost all of the hotels showcased this week have the very same cool chairs with the rings on the back? Hmmm I seem to remember now that my one of my favorite all time hotels have the same chairs...that may be a clue.

The Portrait Suites {Rome, Italy}

You didn't think I was going to leave you hanging without a place to stay today. We have quite a bit of ground to cover. Now we find ourselves in Rome, Italy staying @ the The Portrait Suites. Get ready for another beautiful place to dream about.

Remember all of these places have something in common. I was laughing yesterday because a friend of mine sent me a message saying that I could tell her where I was going because we were tight like that. Like I said earlier, the only trips we have planned are to Disneyland and Richfield, UT so unfortunately these places have nothing to do with my real life travels.

Hope everybody is having a fabulous day!

Heidelberg Suites

There is almost nothing more that can get me excited than the prospect of traveling...and with traveling comes hotels. Combine the idea of chicly decorated hotels with a beautiful new place to explore and in my book that happens to be one of the best recipes on this planet.

Does the above hotel look familiar to anyone? I'll give you one guess...actually if you hang out with me this week on my blog and you can't figure out where I am going with this then wait until Friday and I will give you the answer. For now enjoy a week of chic hotels that all have something in common and dream along.

Does anybody else out there love to travel...if so pls. do share your most favorite vacation destination spots...besides Disneyland..because that is where we are taking our little ones here very soon (which may not be considered a vacation either). Hope we don't loose anybody or that we don't have any party poopers when we board the Pirates of the Caribbean. Never thought I would be into child leashes until now.

Have a fabulous week!

P.S. - The above hotel happens to be in Germany, if you didn't know by the name.

P.S.S. - Did you happen to notice all of the animal mounts?
