if that great, would love to hear more.. if youve been to some/all of the brand new properties, how were they? (start another thread?)
34 hotels
3 safari camps
4 boats
3 night trains
3 day trains
1 restaurant
I do apologize! Let me explain...
I forgot Orient-Express... I stayed in their properties quite some time ago (before the 5 I just stayed - the 5 in Africa)...
People was talking about Four Seasons and then their competitor St. Regis came to my mind and when I made the list on Nov 16 I completely forgot Orient-Express. The experience of Mount Nelson Hotel was incredible, they have had problems in the past, but that hotel was amazing for me.
Their three botswana lodges is something truly unqiue, but why I think Orient-Express is best is that each property is different, unique and have character, while Four Seasons or St. Regis can look the same around the world. (With exceptions).
Anyway, i'm sorry for the misunderstanding and hope my opinion is clear now :-).
