Cambria, California is a picturesque seaside village along scenic Highway 1 between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Cambria includes the famous Hearst Castle and is home to some of California’s best gourmet food and wines.

Voted one of 20 “best beach getaways” in 2011 by Sunset Magazine, no escape to Cambria would be complete without a stay at El Colibri Boutique Hotel and Spa.

“El Colibri,” which means “hummingbird” in Spanish, is a 34-room boutique hotel and spa that offers guests an ideal retreat for rejuvenating mind, body and soul. This eco-friendly, dog friendly, and completely smoke-free hotel is a gem that makes for the perfect weekend getaway when you need an escape.

Designed in the spirit of wellness and tranquility, El Colibri features a cozy fireplace, flat screen HDTV, marble floors, and deep soaking tub in each guestroom, complementary continental breakfast, wireless internet, and a spirited lobby wine bar with wine tastings and live music.

The hotel is nestled along California’s coast, nearby the famed Hearst Castle. Now a National Historic Landmark mansion, Hearst Castle was formerly the home of newspaper magnate, William Randolph Hearst and a coveted playground for the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, and Franklin Roosevelt.

If you’re a sun worshiper — and beach bumming is what you’re after, El Colibri features a literal pathway to breathtaking Moonstone beach. It is also conveniently located near the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse, Pasa Robles Wine Country, and the boutique shops along Main Street.

After a long day of whale watching, hiking, kayaking in the Pacific Ocean and wine tasting, hand yourself over to the full-service Colibri Spa for a rejuvenating hot stone massage and a relaxing repose in the Jacuzzi.

After your stay at El Colibri, you’ll agree that this little hotel lives up to its name — hummingbirds are the tiniest birds in the world, but also some of the most awe-inspiring and beautiful.

Paris has been called many things—the City of Lights, the City of Love…

Whatever you call it, Paris has an indisputable and irresistible charm that lures thousands of travelers each year.  It was a lure to some of our legendary figures, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Oscar Wilde, Josephine Baker, Mark Twain, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Allen Ginsberg. Aside from the fact that this famed city contains 3,800 historical monuments and four UNESCO World Heritage Sights, it is the joie de vivre of Parisian life that captivates and charms.

When Paris tempts and you want to inhale the city in all its splendor, Hotel Lumen is the ideal Parisian home base. This delightful boutique hotel is perfectly situated among the city’s main attractions, and features a distinctive Neo-Baroque style.  It is a perfect marriage of tranquility and modernity, elegance and comfort. Enjoy an in-room massage, room service, free wi-fi, satellite TV, limousine service and the exceptional attention provided by its multilingual staff.

Take pleasure in the breathtaking views of the Church of Saint Roch and the Rue des Pyramides from your balcony or while lounging on stunning furniture designed by Caludio Colucci and Giuseppe Chierchia. Follow the aroma of white truffle risotto to the famous on-site Oscar restaurant, before a minute’s walk to the Louvre, the Opera House, or the metro —which will rapidly bring you to the lively Latin Quarter or the lovely cafes of Montmarte.

If romance is what brings you to Paris, then make your way from the hotel to Le mur des je t’aime (Wall of Love) inscribed with the words “I love you” in over 311 languages, steal a kiss at the top of the Eiffel Tower, hop onto a riverboat along the Seine and ride under the Point-Marie (“bridge of lovers”), where legend has it, that your wish for eternal love will be granted if you kiss under this historic bridge!

If you’re looking to savor the fashion and art scene that Paris epitomizes, then a short walk from the hotel will find you among the boutiques on Rue Saint Honore and Rue Royale, the Palais Royal, the famed Avenue des Champs Elysee, the Musee d’ Orsay.

When it comes time to bid farewell to this magical city, the light and love that envelop Paris will remain vivid memories. As Ernest Hemingway noted, once you visit Paris, you will always have it with you, for it is “a moveable feast”.

Sydney, Australia’s beautiful waterfront city, was just voted as travelers’ number one favorite city in the 2011 Conde Nast Traveler Readers Choice Awards. This wasn’t a small town popularity contest—more than eight million votes were cast in the awards based on criteria that included ambience, friendliness, lodging, restaurants, culture, sight-seeing and shopping. Yes, that’s a lot to live up to, but Sydney won.

While all of us had teenage dreams of living in another city at one point in our lives, we somehow never got around to it. Maybe Sydney was part of that dream. But whatever might bring you today—just be forewarned that you may never want to leave.

If authentic Sydney life is what you’re after, then you need look no further than the Harbourside Apartments. Luxury apartment living in Sydney no longer need be a distant, picturesque dream. The Harbourside Apartments, North Sydney’s only waterfront executive and family-friendly accommodations, indulge all of your deepest desires. Removed from the hustle and bustle of city life, but in the heart of the best that Sydney has to offer, Harbourside offers 82 fully-serviced and self-contained two bedroom, one bedroom and studio apartments. Amenities include a waterfront swimming pool and barbeque recreation area, baby-sitting service, daily housekeeping, grocery shopping service, and fully-equipped kitchen.

Whether you’re in Sydney for a week-long family vacation, a two month sabbatical, or a three day business trip, Harbourside Apartments meld the comforts of home with the luxuries and sights that earned Sydney its reputation as Australia’s leading tourism and events city. Just outside your window are breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour, the Sydney City Skyline, the Sydney Opera House, Luna Park, and North Sydney. A short ferry ride away you’ll find the Taronga Zoo, the Rocks, Chinatown, and Manly Beach.

So when you suddenly find yourself giddy with joy, riding on the back of a jetty across the Sydney Harbour, or reclining in a lounge chair watching the sun set across the water, it may feel like a dream but its pure, undiluted life—at its best.

The next time you’re getting restless in your own city and stir-crazy in your own home, throw caution to the wind and head for stunning Sydney.
