Hotel Review: Hilton Paris La Défense – Stylish Stay After Renovation

In December, the streets of European cities are adorned with festive Christmas decorations, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere. This time, I planned a weekend trip from London to Paris. Of course, I chose to stay at hotels from the Hilton group. I usually stay at Hilton Paris Opera, but this time, all three hotels I stayed at were different. My first stay was at Hilton Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (see the stay report here), followed by a second night at Dali Val d’Europe Tapestry Collection (see the stay report here). For the final night, I stayed at Hilton Paris La Défense.  The last time I stayed there was in…

Hotel Review: Dali Val d’Europe Tapestry – A Great Option for Disneyland Paris

After checking out of Hilton Charles de Gaulle Airport, we headed straight to Disneyland Paris. Following a full day of fun in the park, we stayed at Hôtel Dali Val d’Europe Tapestry, part of the Hilton group.

Written in full, it’s Hotel Dali Val d’Europe Tapestry Collection by Hilton — still quite long, if you ask me!

Hotel Review: Hilton Garden Inn Hong Kong Mongkok – From Airport Access to Rooms and Breakfast

For my recent trip back to Asia, I flew with Cathay Pacific — my current favourite airline. On my way back to London, I made a short stopover in Hong Kong and stayed for one night. My last visit to Hong Kong was in 2024, when I stayed at the Conrad Hong Kong (hotel review here). This time, I finally booked the DoubleTree by Hilton Hong Kong Mongkok, a hotel I had been curious about for some time but never had the chance to try. From the airport, I took the Airport Express to Kowloon Station, which is the most convenient first step into the city. In this post, I’ll…
