Resort flowers

A a very high profile hotelier friend sent me an article just now from Hotel News Now. As his email interjected, I sit here agape and slack jawed at the prospect the US hotel industry could go down the chute.

Grand Hotel Tirana

In our efforts scouring the web for information on the Balkans, we often run across all kinds of attractions, great and small. Not the least important people, places, and things having to do with travel, hotels can often be obscured from view – at least online, that is. The other day we ran across just such a hotel gem presented itself. The Grand Hotel Tirana, while a bit hard to find online, offers a hospitality value worth mention.
