InterContinental San Francisco

Intercontinental San Francisco.

The 32-story Intercontinental San Francisco is worthy of a James Bond film location.

If James Bond had an assignment to take down the enemy in San Francisco, this is where you would find him.

Tall, sexy, and technologically sophisticated, this 32-story hotel even has a name worthy of Double-O-Seven — InterContinental.

Perhaps you’d find that Bond had done the unthinkable and switched from his signature vodka martini after sampling one of the 200 grappas from Bar 888’s extensive collection in the hotel lobby.

If he needed to call a meeting with his fellow agents, there is 43,000 square feet of the most technologically-advanced meeting space in the city to do so — featuring Cat-6 fiber optics, T3 Internet connection, and dedicated conference room bandwidth.

When JB needs a more casual rendezvous spot, Club InterContinental is a laid back business lounge on the sixth floor that offers five meals daily, cocktails, and business and VIP amenities with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city.

Special agents don’t get a lot of downtime and they work odd hours, but in this line of work it’s crucial to stay in top shape. For this, James has the state-of-the art, 24-hour fitness center, indoor lap pool and heated Jacuzzi

Nearly every space features floor-to-celing glass.

Nearly every space features floor-to-ceiling glass.

Of course, there are times when a spy needs to be on the downlow. The I Spa is the perfect place for him to duck away in a dark, aromatherapy-scented room get a very expensive treatment — from an Ayurvedic balancing massage to table Thiatsu to “cupping release.” Bond will surely emerge rejuvenated and ready to continue his mission.

There are always lovely ladies in any Bond’s tale. When it comes time for Halle Berry, clad in lingerie and a jet pack, to come crashing through the floor-to-ceiling glass into James’ suite, (one of the hotel’s 550 guest rooms), she will be taken by the airy spaciousness of the rooms, the marble and wood accents, elegant muted color scheme, and 42-inch flat screen.

And, one detail she is certain to remember is the exquisite feel of of rolling around in Frette linens.

Intercontinental San Francisco

2010 promises to be an interesting and perhaps pivotal year for Macworld Conference & Expo and Your Mac Life is planning on bringing you all the sights and sounds from San Francisco in February 2010.

First order of business before any of us even get there however is where to stay. For years our home away from home has been the Pickwick Hotel and it has served us well. But we wanted to change things up a bit so for Macworld 2010, YML has managed to get what we think, is a great rate at an *amazing* hotel that is so close to the Moscone you can practically roll outta bed onto the show floor.

Working with IDG World Expo, we have managed to secure a special rate, exclusive to Your Mac Life, at the spectacular InterContinental San Francisco of $189/night (single or double occupancy) – a $40 per night savings off the regular Macworld rate of $229/night! Triple occupancy is $219/night, while 4 guests per room is $249/night. All rooms are non-smoking and for those who book through this special rate, internet access is free.

Reservations are open now; please visit https://resweb.passkey.com/go/YML2010 to book your room today. While a credit card is required to guarantee your reservation, you will not be charged until you arrive to the hotel. Click here to check on or modify your reservation: https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_ei_mod&eventID=802286

Deadline to register is December 7, 2009 although when the rooms are gone, they're gone so we encourage you to reserve asap. Once you have made your reservation online, you will receive a confirmation notice via email.

The InterContinental San Francisco, a graceful tower of translucent cool-blue, soars 32 stories above the vibrant South of Market (SoMa) neighborhood, and is quickly taking its place among the city’s most admired landmarks. Adjacent to the Moscone Convention Center (West Hall) and 1 block from the North Hall, it occupies a strategic location for both business and leisure and while its convenience for businesspersons is unrivaled, San Francisco’s newest luxury hotel is also within easy walking distance of premium shopping areas, a diverse collection of trendy and upscale restaurants and bars, and a number of major tourist attractions.

**Note: Please do not call the hotel directly prior to at least January 31, 2010 “to check on your reservation” as all reservations are being handled first through Macworld’s reservation system and the hotel front desk may not be aware of your reservation.

At this price, for a hotel of this caliber – rooms will go fast, so we hope you will join us this February at the InterContinental San Francisco!

Las Vegas

The Bellagio
Bellagio Villas
$6,000 per night

We were surprised that the most expensive hotel room in Las Vegas--a private villa at the Bellagio--is only $6,000 a night, but hotels in Sin City are always lower than average since hoteliers know the real money will be blown on gambling. The Bellagio has nine separate villas in a quiet corner of the property. Each villa has a private terrace and pool, which is surrounded by topiary shrubs, chaise lounges and outdoor tables. Every villa has a private butler service and private limousine entrance.

The villas are both two and three bedrooms and come with a kitchen, dining room and fully stocked bar according to guests' preferences. The master bathrooms have his-and-hers bathrooms and steam showers and are stocked with Hermes bath products. Whoever designed the guest-to-bathroom ratio, as well as guest-to-telephone, had excess in mind. The two-bedroom suites have five bathrooms and 11 telephones, while the three-bedrooms have seven bathrooms and 12 telephones. Two-bedroom villas are $5,000 per night, while the three-bedrooms are $6,000.

The Bridge suite (Dubai), The Palm


Perks: You may have only three bedrooms at the Atlantis's new sister hotel in the UAE but, never fear, there are three bathrooms, too, and four staff (a butler, a chef and a sous-chef and a washer-up) to show you around. You eat at an 18-seat, gold-leaf-coated table in a separate dining room, move to the lounge for cigars, then perhaps to the library, which, as well as the odd book, contains a throbbing electronic entertainment centre. A private elevator ascends to your palatial quarters and takes you down to an aquarium swirling with rays, dolphins and sharks.

Nightly rate: US$35,000 (£25,000)

Who’s stayed there? Follow in the footsteps of the Beckhams, reportedly the first guests to spend the night in the suite.

Feb 29 2008 Death Star Hotel Being Built, World Is Doomed


This structure is being built in Baku, Azerbaijan (an ex-Soviet country between Russian and Iran). Now I'm a firm believer in honesty being the best policy, so why they're trying to construct this under the guise that it's to be the "Full Moon" Hotel is a mystery to me. Just come out and say it already, Azerbaijan. This is not a 521-foot-tall hotel with 382 rooms on over 35 floors. This is the end of life on earth as we know it. That thing is going to blow up the damn planet. I, for one, am scared.

UPDATE: False alarm -- just saw the rest of the pictures. Nothing to worry about. Turns out the damn thing is flat. No way is it large enough to house a superlaser that could destroy the planet. However it is large enough to expect a reasonably sized mini-bar in each room.

Two more from different angles after the jump.

Most expensive hotel in Europe almost ready for its first paying guests

Recession? Not for everyone apparently. Russian Billionaire Telman Ismailov just spent $1.4 Billion of his own money building the most expensive hotel in Europe. The Mardan Palace hotel is located in Antalya, on the Turkish Riviera. The building was inspired by the Ottoman empire and the famous Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul.

The hotel has 560 rooms, 2 of which are "royal suites" which can be yours for just over $18,000 a night. That does get you your own private "golden" swimming pool so its totally worth it.

Regular rooms start at a much more reasonable $300 a night. Suites are equipped with remote controlled toilets, flat panel TV's with a multimedia system, Hermès toiletries and access to a 24 hour butler service.

The hotel is scheduled to open its doors in June. When guests are not enjoying the amenities in their rooms, they can visit the spa (which covers 2 acres), the vitamin or Champagne bar, or a golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus.

They say, Burj al-Arab was the dream of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al Nahyan, which turned out to be a physical reality years later in Dubai.
Check out some 53 High quality photos of Burj Al Arab Urf Burj Al Srab Dubai Urf Burj Al Arab Hotel pictures after the jump !
Some Facts about this Hotel :
The Burj al-Arab (Arabic: برج العرب, “Tower of the Arabs”) is a luxury hotel in Dubai, the second largest city of the United Arab Emirates, and was briefly marketed as “the world’s first seven-star hotel”. It was designed by Tom Wright of WS Atkins PLC. At 321 metres (1,053 ft), it is the tallest building used exclusively as a hotel. It stands on an artificial island 280 metres (919 ft) out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. It is an iconic structure, designed to symbolize Dubai’s urban transformation and to mimic the shape of an Arab dhow
Burj al-Arab has the most luxurious interior imaginable. Khuan Chew, Design Principal of KCA International was responsible for the interior design. The most expensive materials were used throughout the building. There is no exact data about the cost of the hotel, but rumours say that the return of investment could be 100 years, although the nights at Burj al-Arab start at $1000. The Royal Suite costs $28000 per night.

FACILITIESAlthough from these pictures the hotel looks almost unreal, the project is expected to be completed by May, 2009.
The quarry will protect the resort from the weather and reduce the energy needs of the hotel. The complex will contain restaurants, cafes, sport facilities, and will even include underwater public areas and guestrooms.
LOCATIONThe hotel will have 400 bed resort which will stand two levels higher than the rock face of the 100 metre deep quarry.
Two underwater levels will house a restaurant and guestrooms facing a ten-metre deep aquarium. The lowest level of the hotel will contain a leisure complex with a swimming pool and water-based sports.
An extreme sports centre for activities such as rock climbing and bungee jumping will be cantilevered over the quarry and accessed by special lifts from the water level of the hotel.

"This jewel in the centre of Switzerland's financial centre has a lake view impressive enough to make you forget about the credit meltdown. Service and support is equally soothing." CNBC European Business - The Hotel Issue, September 2008
