The best Hotels in Miami for you to go!
Miami, one of the most amazing cities in the whole world and also one of the most visited ever! Would you also like to visit the city but you don't know which the best Hotels and Resorts for you are? If that's your problem and main guess right now, then you definitely need to read the msnbc.com article just below and make up your mind:
"
By Editorial Staff
Sprawling, sexy, sometimes unruly and occasionally outrageous, Miami has morphed into an urban mix unlike any other in America. It’s little wonder that vacationers have demanded the same magic recipe for the city’s manically developing hotel scene, which has seen a glut of lavish new (or splendidly refurbished) lodging options roll out just as everyone else is tightening their belts.
We’ve set our sights on the best of this new breed to bring you our top 10 picks for the year’s hottest Miami hotels — and we’re pleased to report a welcomed trend of properties moving beyond style (and attitude) over substance. Expect exceptional amenities, refined service and overall value to be factored into this decadent Miami mix.
The Angler’s Boutique Resort
The Angler's incorporates original 1930s Mediterranean revival architecture into an expanded 49-unit property that features subtly chic neutral- and dark-wood interiors by designer J. Wallace Tutt III (who masterminded Gianni Versace's opulent Ocean Drive mansion).
Located away from the South Beach hotel herd, it's an oasis on the cusp of the burgeoning South of Fifth neighborhood. The warm, sizable rooms range from studios to truly splurge-worthy three-story villas with spiral staircases and rooftop showers. A cozy pair of poolside cabanas with sexy oyster-shell chandeliers can be booked for a private Mediterranean-inspired dinner from on-site restaurant 660 Mediterranean Kitchen.
The Betsy South Beach
Formerly the Betsy Ross, this revamped property is stepping out on Ocean Drive in March 2009 with colonial-meets-tropical decor, a Laurent Tourondel BLT Steak restaurant and an invite-only lounge. In a turn away from the trend of piling rooms on top of condos on top of nightclubs, the Betsy is intimate in size and feel. The 63 elegant rooms come with dark walnut floors, poster beds and original photography on the walls, while the spacious bathrooms are outfitted with Malin+Goetz amenities and mirrors inlaid with LCD televisions.
Several of the wooden plantation-style shuttered windows boast unobstructed ocean views. There’s a pool, spa and rooftop solarium, plus a plot of beach with “beach butlers” at the ready — tell the hotel you’re spending the day on the sand and they’ll pack you a picnic basket filled with snacks, wine and magazines.
Eden Roc Resort
Long-term rival to its neighbor, the Fontainebleau, this Morris Lapidus classic is in the final stages of a $200 million transformation. It recently debuted two new restaurants, Gia Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar and the casual Cabana Beach Club, and will unveil the Waterfall Bar (tucked under an infinity pool) next winter. The Eden Roc has also added a 21-story tower with 282 rooms, including 14 luxurious bi-level bungalow suites tricked out with a range of amenities. A new spa and fitness center are additionally set to open this fall.
Fontainebleau
After a jaw-dropping $1 billion makeover, the Fontainebleau re-emerged in November 2008 as a major convention player but with far more sparkle than the average business hotel. The abundant chandeliers and black bow-tie patterned marble floors evoke the 1954 Morris Lapidus-designed original, a legendary Rat Pack hangout; but the supersized scale — 1,504 rooms, each equipped with a 20-inch iMac; 11 spacious eateries (ranging from a high-end steakhouse to a poolside sushi lounge); and 30,000-square foot DJ-driven nightclub — is 21st-century Vegas showmanship all the way.
Gansevoort South
Well suited to its warmer digs, this glittering incarnation of the NYC hot spot has a shark tank in the lobby, a show-stopping David Barton–designed gym and spa and the most stunning rooftop pool in town. Located in the newly-hot Mid-Beach area, everything about the hotel is set on a grand scale, including its 334 rooms, which are pleasantly ginormous, and two big-name New York restaurants, STK and Philippe.
There’s also a sexy rooftop bar called Plunge and full-scale nightclub, Louis, the latest in a family that includes hotspots Prive and Mansion. Despite all of the name-dropping, the stellar service is notably un-snooty and the front desk is not just a runway for pretty faces.

Recent Turkish flight is being investigated
As you would expect, airlines tend to study the consequences and causes of every crash that sometimes may take them by surprise so that they can prevent it from happening in the future once more! Keeping this in mind, if you would like to know something more about the latest Turkish airlines crash, then you definitely need to have a look at the msnbc.com article just below:
"
Investigators are examining turbulence as one of the possible causes of the Turkish Airlines crash that killed nine people and injured more than 100 near Amsterdam's main airport, a spokesman said Saturday.
Fred Sanders, a spokesman for the Dutch Safety Authority investigation team, also said that the wreckage that has lain in a muddy field since it plunged out of the sky Wednesday one mile short of the runway could be moved Sunday evening.
A Turkish pilots' group claimed that turbulence from a large plane landing at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport shortly before the doomed flight, which was carrying 135 passengers and crew from Istanbul, may have caused the crash.
Turkey Airline Pilots' Association Secretary-General Savas Sen said late Friday that a large Boeing 757 had landed at Schiphol Airport two minutes earlier. Sen said that plane most likely created "wake turbulence" that hampered the Turkish aircraft's landing.
Wake turbulence forms behind an aircraft as it passes through the air.
"All possible causes are (being) investigated and turbulence is known to have caused problems in the past, so you never know," Sanders said.
The investigators on Saturday continued to analyze flight data and cockpit recordings retrieved from the Boeing 737-800's "black boxes" and hope to be able to give a preliminary cause of the crash next week.
'Sad miracle'
In Istanbul, the head of Turkish Airlines' board of directors paid tribute to pilots Hasan Tahsin Arisan, Olgay Ozgur and Murat Sezer and flight attendant Ulvi Murat Eskin at their funerals.
Candan Karlitekin said that, of the 135 people on board, 126 survived due to the pilots' skills.
"It was a miracle but a sad miracle," Karlitekin said in a teary address. "They saved the lives of 126 people and made their families happy, but they died themselves."
Dozens of survivors remained hospitalized Saturday and one was still in critical condition, said Heske Pohlmann, a spokeswoman for Haarlemmermeer municipality.
Boeing Co. said late Friday that three of the American victims were its employees and a fourth Boeing worker remained hospitalized.
Authorities did not release the identity of the other American and Turk killed.
Did engines stop?
Pieter van Vollenhoven, head of the Dutch agency investigating the crash, has said that the plane fell almost vertically from the sky, which pointed toward its engines having stopped. He said a reason for that had not yet been established.
Other possible causes under investigation include weather-related factors, insufficient fuel, loss of fuel, navigational errors, pilot fatigue or bird strikes.
Witnesses on the ground said the plane dropped from about 300 feet. It smashed into three pieces as it skidded to a halt in the mud but there was no fire.
The airline also denied reports that the plane, which was built in 2002, had had technical problems in the days before the accident. The plane underwent routine maintenance Feb. 19, and had to delay a flight Feb. 23 — the day before the crash — to replace a faulty caution light.

Traveling by plane with all the safety
"
Within minutes of Continental Connection Flight 3407's fatal crash on the night of February 12, frequent fliers were e-mailing each other, cursing commuter airlines and vowing never to board smaller commercial aircraft again.
“I HATE THOSE TINY OLD RJS,” one otherwise rational business traveler I know shouted in his e-mail. “NOBODY SHOULD FLY THEM. THEY'RE NOT SAFE.”
No matter that the aircraft involved in Flight 3407's fiery end six miles from Buffalo Niagara International Airport was not an “RJ,” industry shorthand for regional jet. (It was a Q400, a twin-engine turboprop plane manufactured by Bombardier of Canada.) No matter that the 74-seat Q400 isn't particularly tiny. (At 107 feet long with a 93-foot wingspan, it is about the size of several early versions of Boeing's workhorse B737 jet and 20 feet longer than Bombardier's 50-seat regional jet.) And no matter that the Q400 isn't old. (The Q400 series didn't enter service until 2000 and the plane that crashed in Buffalo was less than a year old.)
Safe? That is most definitely in the eye of the beholder — and most business travelers eye commuter airlines with extreme trepidation. They don't like flying them. They don't like that the commuter lines wrap themselves in the colors and livery of the major airlines. And they are convinced, rightly or wrongly, that commuter carriers simply aren't as safe as the major airlines they mimic.
From a statistical point of view, flying in the United States is astonishingly safe. Between 2002 and November, 2008, the last month for which government numbers are available, about 4.4 billion people have flown 50 billion domestic miles. In that time, there have been just three fatal crashes.
Unfortunately, all three involved commuter airliners: 19 died in Charlotte, N.C., in 2003; 49 passengers died in Lexington, Ky., in 2006; and 50 people (including one on the ground) perished in Buffalo early this month. The circumstances and the aircraft were different in each case, but the fact that all three involved commuter airlines has spooked business travelers and even pilots."

There are less tourists in Hawaii these days...
With the current financial downturn, would you really expect a rise in the number of people who travel to Hawaii these days? Well, I am sure that it's everyone's guess that there is no way on how that number could have increased and that can be easily seen on the msnbc.com article just below:
"
HONOLULU - Hawaii tourism — the state's No. 1 industry — took another hit in January, with a 12.5 percent fall in the number of people coming to the islands compared with the same month last year, state officials said.
The Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism reported Wednesday that the drop resulted in a 13.6 decline in spending by visitors who came by air.
Three of the four top markets sending tourists to Hawaii posted double-digit declines — U.S. East 14.9 percent, U.S. West 14.3 percent and Japan 12.7 percent. The fourth — Canada — posted a 4.7 percent reduction.
"This is a very challenging time for everyone, because tourism is the backbone of our economy and when tourism falters it affects everyone in our state," state tourism liaison Marsha Wienert said. "As we move forward, our marketing message about the value of a Hawaii vacation is resonating across the mainland, resulting in bookings which have helped to offset the declines."The January numbers followed a 10.8 percent drop in tourism in all of 2008 compared with 2007. Last year, Hawaii welcomed 6.8 million tourists, marking the first time since 2004 that fewer than 7 million tourists came to the 50th State.
Despite January's negative figures, Wienert managed to point to a positive development.
"An unexpected bright spot in the January 2009 statistics was a 49.2 percent growth in Japanese honeymooners to the islands," she said.
The jump helped fuel a 12.1 percent boost in the total number of visitors who honeymooned in Hawaii last month, compared with January 2008.
The 522,241 travelers who came to Hawaii last month racked up 5.6 million visitor days, a 10.4 percent decline from January of last year. The 512,139 who arrived by air spent $949.8 million in the islands, $149.7 million, or 13.6 percent, less than tourists spent in January 2008.
