I hope everyone else had a great Valentines day, especially those of you who went to Paris.

Quick Upper House report from my short stay earlier:
PROS:
- Beautifully designed and furnished
- Possibly the largest entry level rooms in the city? Suites are a good size too
- Good location
- Doesn't feel like a city hotel at all. Very much a retreat within the city.
- Service: on the whole, quite good. But if you're expecting Taj/MO/FS/Pen service, you'll be disappointed. A notch or two below truly amazing. But it's good, friendly service, nothing stuffy.
CONS:
- Only one restaurant (understandable for a boutique I suppose). However, plenty of other options in the vicinity.
- Food in general: some good, some bad (wasn't too impressed by the breakfast). At the same time, I didn't try as much food at the restaurant as I wanted, so perhaps worth another shot.
I was hosted by the Upper House, so I'm writing a full review of it for a travel site which will go into further detail (and yet, not quite so much at the same time
), and which I'll post with a more detailed personal review as well as a thread, and my own pics!

India is ok for April (can't wait especially for Amanbagh
)But we canceled Tanzania.
We will go to Israel instead. No real luxury hotel there so we will stay at King David in Jerusalem and Dan Tel Aviv.

Oh, I am looking so much forward to hear about India after you are back. We are planning India now for March 2015.

I'm going to Rome in 2 weeks, staying at The St. Regis, just booked a trip to Shanghai in November, I've never been - Any suggestions on a Starwood or Hilton hotel is appreciated, best location is most valuable and I will use points and hope for an upgrade with Platinum/Diamond status.
