We absolutely love the hotel life… Think about it-don’t we all love to delve into the absolute luxury of comfort when on a holiday and the idea is to simply relax and be at ones comfortable best especially when you have had a busy day exploring the city. Or what about those work trips? Who doesn’t like coming back to a supremely well-kept room packed with all the essentials at your disposal even when you are away from home? We believe a good hotel pampers you even more than your own peeps back home. It is only fair to give such hotels who are redefining the guest experience their due. It is with this thought that we at Helipad on Heels are coming up with a special series where we will talk about some truly fine hotels from around the World.
