The world of Bond extends to hotels

Good evening folks,

About to go on vacation soon? Looking for a place to stay?

Skip the Ritz Carlton and the Four Seasons, guys. Forbes.com just released an article letting viewers peek "Inside the World's Coolest Hotels." It usually happens that well-known luxury brands never make appearances on these lists. We're talking indie hotels today.

One destination that caught my eye was the "Goldeneye Resort" in Oracabessa, Jamaica. Goldeneye is a relatively new resort, having just been opened in 2006. Funnily enough, it's where Ian Fleming wrote 17 of the Bond books! Besides the opulent Fleming House, there are a handful of smaller huts, cleverly named after certain Bond girls (that's right, there's even one called Vesper). Room rates start at a sky high $660 a night, so maybe save a little bit first, eh?

Since we're on the topic of hotels, I'm going to be in Singapore over the winter vacation, and I'm looking for places to stay. I'd really like to do some hotel hopping. Not going to be staying in any as cool as Goldeneye, but there are definitely some boutique ones I want to check out. Among them, Naumi. Small, luxurious, perfect. Take a look.

Let me know what you guys think about the list of coolest hotels. Go see "Quantum of Solace." Thanks for checking in, and I hope to see you again soon.
