Stalwart yet chic, pampering but private.  Hotels are the ambassadors of travel.  They are the ever-charming host always ready to receive, with a warm smile, clean linens, fluffy towels, and(if you're lucky) french doors that swing out on a balcony where a frosty ice bucket stands chilling a bottle of bubbly.  The perfect opening note to an awaiting adventure.
