Hotels in Brisbane offer excellent accommodations in a destination nicknamed “Brissy”. The city’s historic nickname was “Queen City of the North”. Known for its waterways, wharfs, piers, riverside paths, bridges, parks, gardens, farms, hiking trails, scenic peaks, shopping malls, performing arts / live music venues, art galleries, night markets, cafes, street food and koalas, Brisbane is located at about the mid-point of Australia’s rounded, eastern coastline. Flowing through the city, the Brisbane River is South East Queensland’s longest river. Brisbane Central Business District (CBD) is located on a peninsula about 9 miles up-river from Moreton Bay, which is between the Coral and Tasman Seas. A massive submerged continent to the southeast, almost the size of Australia, Zealandia is thought to be over a billion years old. The northward Coral Sea Plateau is a contiguous area with depths no greater than 3,300 feet. South of Brisbane, Gold Coast has long sandy beaches, while the northward Sunshine Coast is home to while sand dunes, shallow lakes and mangrove forests. A scenic area and region near Gold Coast, the “hinterland” is home to hiking (bushwalk) areas, picnic tables, rainforests, eucalyptus forests, botanic gardens, woodlands, natural bridges, gorges, cliffs, rivers, waterfalls, platypus and more.

Hotels in Brisbane are some of Australia’s best accommodations. Before we get to hotels in Brisbane, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.
Brisbane was named after the Brisbane River, which was named after Sir Thomas Brisbane. Prior to Brisbane, aboriginal Australians are believed to have inhabited the area for at least 22,000 years. Just before European arrival in the 1820s, the overall Turrbal, Yugara and Quandamooka aboriginal population is estimated at around 6,000-10,000. Resourceful fishermen, skilled aboriginals set up seasonal riverside camps to catch fish, shellfish, crabs and prawns. The largest riverside camp, located at present-day Victoria Park and Woolloongabba, was occupied from time to time by around 200-600 fishermen. Captain James Cook sailed past Stradbroke Island’s northern end / Moreton Island’s eastern side aboard the Endeavour circa 1770. Cook originally named the area “Morton’s Bay” in honor of the 14th Earl of Morton, James Douglas. President of the Royal Society, Douglas had helped secure funding for Cook’s expedition. Due to an error in the first published account of Cook’s voyage, however, the spelling “Moreton” arose. Captain Matthew Flinders landed at present-day Woody Point on July 17, 1799. Flinders named the area “Red Cliff Point” after its red-colored cliffs. European settlers encountered the Turrbal people in 1820. The Turrbal word for the present-day CBD was mianjin, or “place shaped as a spike”. Governor of New South Wales, Sir Thomas Brisbane remitted orders to develop a new penal settlement in the Moreton Bay area circa 1823. John Oxley, surveying in November 1823, placed the new penal colony near Red Cliff Point. In 1825, convicts planted the City Botanic Gardens, which were originally located at a Moreton Bay penal settlement farm. Jacaranda and Poinciana flowering plants were introduced to Australia around this time. After the initial penal settlement was established, a non-convict European community developed, with German missionaries settling at Zions Hill sometime around 1837. Captain Patrick Logan expanded the Moreton Bay convict settlement and, by 1842, nearly 2,400 men, and 145 women, were detained therein. Scottish immigrants landed aboard the Fortitude circa 1849. The scots settled at present-day Fortitude Valley, which took its name from the barque on which they arrived. The Roman Catholic Church erected St Stephen Chapel in 1850. During the Frontier Wars (1820s-1850s), indigenous attacks occurred throughout the city, albeit with Great Britain arising victorious. Much of Queen Street was destroyed by the 1864 Great Fire of Brisbane. Australia’s only moated fort, Fort Lytton was built at the Brisbane River’s mouth in 1882. Frog’s Hollow, a swampy “slum” area, was once a Chinatown red light district and place of prostitution, sly grogs (unlicensed liquor store) and opium dens. The 1893 Black February Flood caused about $4 million in damages (1893-valuation) to include the destruction of Victoria and Albert Bridges, along with 35 deaths. In 1901, Australia’s six British self-governing colonies united into a Federation. Celebrations were held in Brisbane during the event’s first commemoration. After World War I, the Red Flag riots between returned First Australian Imperial Force soldiers and socialists resulted in 1 police horse death and multiple injuries. During World War II, South West Pacific Area (SWPA) headquarters was stationed at the AMP Building (present-day MacArthur Chambers), while American troops were based at the T & G Building. The November 26, 1942 “Battle of Brisbane” riot between the United States Army and the Australian Army / civilians resulted in 1 Australian death (Gunner Edward S. Webster) and hundreds of injuries on both sides. Webster died instantly by way of an errant shotgun blast to the chest. A few decades after the Wars and the Americans’ departures, the 1982 Commonwealth Games and World Expo 88 were two key events that contributed to Brisbane’s modern development.
Queensland’s capital and most populous city, Brisbane is home to around 2.5 million “Brisbanites”. Over 32% of the metropolitan population is foreign-born. Brisbane has 19 skyscrapers at 492 feet or higher, with the tallest being Brisbane Skytower at 887 feet. Brissy is located on the Brisbane River Valley’s hilly floodplain. To the west rise the Taylor and D’Aguilar mountain ranges. Apart from the airport, the Port of Brisbane is the city’s main transit hub, handling about 150 ship calls per year. Brisbane cruise lines include Princess Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International and more. In addition to koalas, the Brisbane area’s wildlife is diverse and includes tree frogs, rainbow lorikeets (colorful parrot), kookaburras (kingfisher), Australian water dragons (lizard), bearded dragons (lizard), flying foxes (megabat – 5-foot wingspan), blue triangle butterflies, golden orb-weaver spiders and St Andrew’s Cross spiders. Brisbane River species include yellowfin bream, flathead, Australasian snapper and bull sharks, while Moreton Bay is home to humpback whales, dolphins, dugongs (manatee), mud crabs, soldier crabs, Moreton Bay bugs (lobster) and more. Brisbane’s humid subtropical climate is characterized by hot summers and moderate winters. January summer high temperatures average around 87 °F, while June winter highs stay around 71 °F. Additional points of interest include Queensland Cultural Centre, Feel Good Program (park / former World Expo 88 site), The Old Windmill (city’s oldest building, built by convicts c. 1828), Eagle Street Pier (riverfront dining complex), Walter Taylor Bridge (suspension bridge), State Library of Queensland, Treasury Building and University of Queensland. Popular foods include barbecued meats, various seafood, cheeseburgers, chicken wings, Ramen, gnocchi, breakfast carbonara and fruit, while signature cocktails, wine, whiskey and craft beer are the most-poured drinks. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for hotels in Brisbane that will help make for a memorable experience.

Hotels in Cyprus offer excellent accommodations in a destination nicknamed “The Island of Love”. Known for its archaeological sites, fortress ruins, tombs, monasteries, squares, clearwater beaches, parks, gardens, hiking trails, gorges, copper mines, flowers, wine and Greek / Cypriot cuisine, Cyprus is an eastern Mediterranean island-country. While the Republic of Cyprus asserts maritime rights to waters near the island’s southern and western coasts, the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus claims de facto control over northeastern waters. Shaped almost like a tomahawk steak, Cyprus is in proximity to Turkey (northward), Lebanon & Israel (southeastward) and Egypt (southward). Cyprus marks the Greek goddess Aphrodite’s birthplace. Cyprus main attractions include Archaeological Site of Nea Paphos (archaeological area / ruins – fortress, tombs, villas, Roman mosaics), Archaeological Site of the Tombs of the Kings (3rd-century BC necropolis – underground tombs carved out of rock), The Holy Monastery of the Virgin of Kykkos (Kykkos Monastery – founded 11th century), Kyrenia Castle (Crusader fortification / 16th-century Venetian castle), Büyük Han (Great Inn est. 1572 – caravansarai – Old City of Nicosia), Cape Cavo Greco (national park / rugged peninsula – turquoise lagoon, natural rock bridge, cliffside trails), Nissi Beach (clean, aqua waters), Paphos Aphrodite Waterpark, Camel Park, Agia Napa Sea Caves (coastal area – sea cliffs, rugged bluffs, diving, cliff jumpers), Konnos Beach (chair rentals, swimming, water sports), Profitis Elias Church (small hilltop church – stone façade, paintings, scenic water views), Dasoudi (park / beach – café, umbrella rentals, walking track), Lara Beach (secluded beach – swimming, sea turtles, sea views – accessed via dirt road), Monagroulli White Stones (scenic spot – rock formations), Akama National Forest Park (hills, gorges, beaches, turtle nesting, cycling), Kantara Castle (Byzantine / Frankish hilltop castle ruins), Tzelefos Bridge (stone bridge), CyHerbia Botanical Park & Labyrinth, Mount Olympus (mountain peak – 6,4001 feet, forested hiking trails, skiing), The Blue House (museum), Stavrovouni Monastery (4th-century hilltop monastery – Christian relics), St. Hilarion Kalesi (museum), Athalassa National Forest Park (woodland reserve – hiking / cycling trails, lake, botanical garden, picnic tables), Cyprus Car Museum, Salamis Forest (ancient ruins), Ayia Thekla Beach, Golden Beach (peninsula beach – dunes), Petrides Farm Park, Troodos Botanical Garden, Silivritepe Yolu Historic Tank (abandoned military vehicle), Holy Church of Panagia of Asinou (mountainous stone church – ornate interior, 12th-century Byzantine paintings), Sparti Platres Rope Adventure Park, Governor’s Beach (popular beach – 3 bays, lifeguards, restaurants), Manolis Bay (turquoise waters), Church of Saints Cyprian and Justina, Secret Valley Golf Resort (golf course), Minthis Golf Club and Elea Estate (golf course). Cyprus’ main airport is Larnaka International Airport, with airport car rental agencies to include Economy Rent a Car, Yours Car Hire and Cosmos Car Rental. As Uber ceased operating on the island in 2016 due to government regulations favoring taxis, renting a car is advisable. The Island of Love is divided into two main ethnic communities, Greeks (southern) and Turks (northeastern). The island’s southern coast is where many of the enclosed accommodations may be found. Cyprus professional football clubs include AC Omonia, APOEL Nicosia, Aris Limassol, Pafos FC, AEK Larnaca and Apollon Limassol. AC Omonia vs. APOEL Nicosia represents the island’s biggest rivalry, sometimes involving clashes between fans. Keep in mind that Cyprus electrical sockets and power plugs are type G. English is widely used on Cyprus, both verbally and on road signs. Currency is the Euro, cars travel on the left-hand side of the road and the drinking age is 17 years old. Cyprus top events include Limassol Carnival (annual 10-day festival leading up to the Greek Orthodox Lent – parades, elaborate costumes, music), Kataklysomos Festival (traditional religious celebration held 50 days after Greek Orthodox Easter), Cyprus Rally, Cyprus Rialto World Music Festival, BEONIX Festival, Sun And Soul Cyprus, Fengaros Festival, Windcraft Music Fest, The International Pharos Contemporary Music Festival, Pafos Aphrodite Opera Festival, Beer Festival Paphos, Anthestiria Flower Festival, Agros Rose Festival, Limassol Wine Festival, Septemberfest Nicosia, Paphos Flower Festival and Shakespearean Nights Lemesia. Hotels in Cyprus are some of the Mediterranean’s best accommodations. Before we get to hotels in Cyprus, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.
Written in Linear B Mycenaean Greek syllabic script, the word kupirijo, meaning “Cypriot”, has been traced to the 15th century BC. Although the word Cypriot’s exact origin is unknown, possible links stem from Greek / Indigenous words for the Mediterranean cypress tree, the henna tree or copper. Archaeological findings from Aetokremnos (southern coast) and Vretsia Roudias (inland) suggest that hunter-gatherers may have been the first to inhabit Cyprus around 10,000 BC. Once native to the island, the Cypriot pygmy hippopotamus and the Cyprus dwarf elephant are believed to have gone extinct around the time of the first settlers. By 8,500 BC, Stone Age farming communities emerged. The remains of a cat, buried with a human body, have been unearthed from a gravesite dating to around 7,500 BC. Existing around 6,800 BC, the relatively well-preserved village of Khirokitia is thought to have been inhabited by about 300-600 people. Copper was discovered in the Troodos Mountains sometime around 1650 BC. Bronze Age copper mines naturally began connecting Cyprus to the broader Mediterranean world and stimulating island-wide settlements. Around this time, it is believed that Cyprus was ruled by “kings” who corresponded with other leaders such as Egyptian pharaohs. As recorded by 13th-century BC letters sent to the ancient Levantine coastal city of Ugarit, Kushmeshusha is the first known Cypriot king. Mycenaean Greek traders and Phoenician merchants settled on Cyprus toward the end of the Bronze Age (1,400 – 850 BC). Starting in 708 BC, the Neo-Assyrian Empire ruled the island for a century, followed briefly by the Egyptians, and then Achaemenid circa 545 BC. Alexander the Great conquered Cyprus in 333 BC. Following Alexander’s death and the partition of Babylon, the island became part of the Hellenistic empire of Ptolemaic Egypt. The Roman Republic acquired Cyprus in 58 BC, and in 22 BC, Roman Cyprus was established. In 286 AD, the Roman Empire was divided between East and West, and Cyprus fell under the East Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire. Cyprus would remain part of the East Roman Empire for about 900 years thereafter. Repeated Umayyad Caliphate attacks and raids commenced in 649, culminating with decisive land and sea victories by Byzantine Emperor Nikephoros II Phokas circa 965. During the 12th century, control of Cyprus passed amongst Byzantine Isaac Komnenos, Richard I of England (Third Crusade), the Knights Templar, Guy of Lusignan and Aimery of Lusignan, respectively. The Republic of Venice took control of Cyprus in 1473 following the death of the last Lusignan king, James II, whose Venetian widow, Catherine Cornaro, reigned briefly as figurehead. Catherine was abdicated in 1489, when the Venetians formally annexed the Kingdom of Cyprus. Nearly 100 years later, the Venetians built the Walls of Nicosia and, due to Ottoman attacks, additional fortifications at Famagusta and Kyrenia. Some 60,000 Ottoman troops invaded Cyprus in 1570, massacring Greek and Armenian Christian inhabitants and bringing the island under Ottoman control. The feudal system was replaced by the millet system and non-Muslims were governed by their own religious authorities. Crypto-Christian communities, such as the Catholic Linobambakis, existed on Cyprus during Ottoman rule. The 1821 Greek War of Independence created calamity on Cyprus, in particular the execution of 486 prominent Greek Cypriots. Centuries-long Ottoman oppression and taxations led to Enosis, a type of Greek nationalism. The June 4, 1878 Cyprus Convention leased the island to the British Empire. Britain took de facto control over administration in exchange for establishing a military base and helping to protect the Ottoman Empire against Russia following the Russo-Turkish War. Cyprus, particularly Famagusta Port, served as a strategic British navel outpost en route to Great Britain’s most prized overseas possession, India. The Ottoman Empire having joined Central Powers during World War I, Great Britain annexed Cyprus on November 5, 1914, declaring the Ottoman Khedivate a Sultanate and British protectorate. Nearly a year later, Britain offered Cyprus to Greece, which was declined by the Alexandros Zaimis administration. Turkey relinquished any claim to Cyprus following the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, and two years later the island became a British crown colony. A military unit of the British Army, the Cyprus Regiment enlisted many Greek and Turkish Cypriots during World War II. Enosis remained ever-present in Greek Cypriots’ minds and moreover became Greek national policy in the 1950s, at which time Turkey, with Great Britain’s help, established the partition of Cyprus and polity in the north. Cyprus attained independence in 1960 following the Zürich and London Agreement, with the United Kingdom retaining the Akrotiri and Dhekelia Sovereign Base Areas. Following independence, disagreements concerning the 1960 Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus caused intercommunal violence between Turkish and Greek Cypriots. A coup d’état occurred on July 15, 1974, when Greek military officer Dimitrios “The Invisible Dictator” Ioannides ousted president Makarios III and installed nationalist Nikos Sampson. In response, Turkey invaded Cyprus on July 20, 1974, citing its right to do so from the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee, justification of which was rejected by the United Nations. Altogether, the Turks sent bombers, tanks, armored vehicles, trucks and some 36,000 troops, ultimately capturing Kyrenia, Morphou, Karpass, Famagusta and the Mesaoria before international pressure led to a ceasefire. About 4% of the island’s area was incorporated into the United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus demilitarized zone in August 1974. Cyprus joined the European Union on May 1, 2004, from which time Turkish occupation of the island’s northern part was viewed as illegal by international law.
South of the Anatolian Peninsula and west of the Levant, Cyprus is home to over 1.2 million “Cypriots”. Nicosia, the capital and largest city, has a population of around 200,000. About 77% of the island’s population is Greek, while about 18% is Turkish. As such, Eastern Orthodox Christianity forms the dominant religion. Cyprus is the third-largest Mediterranean island behind Sicily and Sardinia. Once one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations dubbed “French Riviera of Cyprus”, the northern city of Varosha, falling to invading Turks in the mid-1970s, became a mysterious ghost town for nearly 50 years, vaguely, if not eerily, reminiscent of Chernobyl. Cyprus is home to a subtropical climate. Summer high temperatures average just over 90 °F and winters stay around 63 °F. Coastal winters are mild, while summers are warm / hot. Snow is possible in the central Troodos Mountains. Additional points of interest include Petra tou Romiou (sea stack / mythological site of Aphrodite’s birth), Kouris Dam (Cyprus’ largest dam), Port of Limassol, Larnaca Salt Lakes, Pancyprian Gymnasium (high school – founded 1812) and Spyros Kyprianou Athletic Center. Local foods include Aanari cheese, cured pork tenderloin, flaounes (cheese-filled pastry), skordalia (puree), taramosalata (fish-based meze) and ttalattouri (dip). Popular drinks are wine, Keo beer, Ayran (yogurt-based drink – unofficial national cocktail) and brandy sour. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for hotels in Cyprus that will help make for a memorable experience.

Hotels in Crete provide excellent accommodations in a destination nicknamed “The Island of the Gods”. Known for its beaches, castles, monasteries, museums, archaeological sites, waterparks, hiking trails, cliffs, gorges, streams, waterfalls and scenic views, Crete is located between the Aegean and Libyan Seas. Greece’s southernmost and largest isle, Island of the Gods stretches 160 miles east-to-west, and 37 miles north-to-south, with its capital Heraklion located on the north coast. Inland Crete is characterized by its high, east-to-west mountain range, along with its valleys and plateaus. The island’s tallest peak is Mount Ida, also known as Psiloritis, at 8,058 feet above sea level. Crete main attractions include Elafonissi Beach, Fortezza of Rethymnon (16-century Venetian citadel ruins – panoramic port / town views), Balos Beach (white sand beach / lagoon – turquoise water, accessible by boat or hike), Seitan Limania (remote sandy beach / cove surrounded by rock formations), Arkadi Monastery (16th-century church / Eastern Orthodox monastery), Botanical Garden of Crete, Watercity Waterpark Crete, Aquaworld Aquarium & Reptile Rescue Centre, Amazonas Park (zoo), Gramvousa Beach, Cave of Agia Sofia (chapel), Acqua Plus (waterpark), Monastry of Saint George, Limnoupolis (waterpark), Panagia Kera Kardiotissa Monastery (ancient church / nunnery – medieval murals, Virgin Mary icon), Venizelos Graves (hilltop gravesite – panoramic sea / city views), Lychnostatis Open Air Museum (natural history museum – traditional dwellings, workshops), Balos Viewpoint (scenic spot), Mili Gorge (long canyon trail – old mills, tavern, chapels, rock pools), Richtis Gorge (scenic gorge / rugged hiking trail – stream, waterfall, wildlife), White Mountains Forest Preserve, Archaeological Site of Aptera, Souda Beach (umbrellas, showers, seafood tavernas, rare Cretan date palm grove), Odigìtria Monastery, Agiofaraggo Martsalo Kefali (park – gravel roads, trails, cliffs, beaches, caves), Nikos Kazantzakis Museum (author museum) and Monastery Katholiko (church). Crete’s main airport is Heraklion International Airport Nikos Kazantzakis, with airport-area car rental agencies to include Gomega, Monza, Beepit, EURODOLLAR, BlueCarRental, Motor Plan, Lux Trans and Heraklion Rental. Due to governmental regulations and local taxi unions, Uber rideshare does not operate on Crete, so renting a car is advisable. Crete’s mountainous roadways sometimes include winding bends with gorges dropping beneath, so its best to use caution particularly in these areas. If you find yourself driving slowly, to take in the views for example, be sure to keep to the shoulder so that appreciative Cretans may pass. A drive east-to-west on Crete takes about 6 hours, give or take. Crete’s two smaller, main airports are Chania International Airport and Sitia Public Airport (domestic flights between Crete and mainland Greece). OFI Crete F.C, a Greek Super League team, plays at Theodoros Vardinogiannis Stadium in Heraklion. Crete’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Hotels in Crete are some of the Greek Isles’ best accommodations. Before we get to hotels in Crete, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.
Crete’s earliest permanent settlement, a major Minoan center. can be traced to 7000 BC Knossos. The Minoans were skilled artists and writers, as evidenced archaeologically by their elaborate pottery, and by their mysterious Linear A writing system, which has been discovered on tablets, ritual objects, sealed documents and mason marks. Mediterranean traders, the Minoans built a palace at Knossos. Mainland-Greece Mycenaeans replaced the Cretan Minoans around 1420 BC, as evidenced by a Linear B archive found at Knossos that dates to around that time. The Late Bronze Age’s sudden 12th century BC collapse ushered-into Crete new waves of mainland Greeks, who established city-states. Following a brief period of civil order in the 5th century BC, as inferred by the Gortyn city-state’s legal code, unrest ensued in the late-4th century by way of aristocratic elite infighting and city-states’ prolonged warfare. The Lyttian War (220-216 BC) fought between Knossos (allied with Rhodes) and Polyrrhenia (allied with Macedonia) resulted in a Knossian defeat. At that point, Crete largely fell under Macedonian influence, with king Philip V gaining hegemony over the island. However, the Cretan War (205–200 BC) between Macedonia (allied with the Aetolian League and Spartan pirates) and Rhodes (allied with Byzantium and Athens) resulted in a Rhodian victory. Around this time, Rome began to meddle with Cretan affairs The town of Ierapytna (Ierapetra) gained control of eastern Crete in the 2nd century BC. With the rise of the Roman Empire, Crete initially repelled an attack by Roman general Marcus Antonius Creticus in 71 BC, but was subsequently conquered in 69 BC by Quintus Caecilius Metellus, who became known as “Creticus”. During Roman rule, Gortyn was made the capital of a prosperous Crete, which had become a Roman province alongside Cyrenaica (eastern region of Libya). In 297 AD, Crete was separated from Cyrenaica, though the island remained an Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire province. Constantinople became the Eastern Roman Empire’s capital circa 330 AD, and thereafter Crete was faced with a series of adversities: extreme earthquakes (365 & 415 AD), Vandal attack (467), Slavic raid (623) and Arab raids (654, 670 & 8th century). Jurisdiction of the island was transferred, under Byzantine Emperor Leo III the Isaurian, from the Pope to the Patriarchate of Constantinople in 732. Having been ruled by the Romans for 900 years, Crete was captured in the 820s by Andalusian Muwallads, who established the Emirate of Crete. After nearly 150 years of Arab rule, Crete reverted to Byzantine Empire control following the siege of Chandax (960–61). The Fourth Crusade seized Constantinople in 1204. At that time, Crete was given to the leading Crusader Boniface of Montferrat, who in turn sold the claim to the Republic of Venice, the Crusade’s prevailing force. Venice’s rival, the Republic of Genoa seized Crete shortly thereafter, but the island was recaptured by Venice in 1212. Venice ruled Crete for more than 400 years starting in 1212. Under Venetian rule, Renaissance-style flourished on the island. Of Venice’s population of approximately 60,000, about 10,000 relocated to Crete. As a result, the ancient city of Kydonia was revived and renamed Canea, which developed into modern Chania. Venetian rule ended effectively in 1669 when, following the siege of Candia, Ottomans conquered Crete. Following the seventh and final Ottoman–Venetian War in 1715, many Greek Cretans fled to other parts of the Republic of Venice. The Ottomans built high walls and bastions around Heraklion. Wealthy shipbuilder Ioannis Vlachos, also known as Daskalogiannis, staged a revolt against Ottoman rule in Crete during the Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774). Erroneously assuming that he would receive support from the Russian navy, which never arrived, Daskalogiannis was forced to surrender to Ottoman authorities. Displayed publicly and remaining silent throughout, Daskalogiannis was tortured, skinned alive and beaten to death. Ottoman-Sultan Mahmud II granted control of Crete to de facto Egyptian ruler Muhammad Ali Pasha in exchange for Pasha’s military support during the Greek War of Independence. Crete was omitted from the London Protocol of 1830, while subsequently being confirmed in the Convention of Kütahya of 1833. The July 3, 1840 Convention of London returned Crete to direct Ottoman rule. The Cretan revolt (1866–1869) between Greek Revolutionaries and the Ottoman Empire resulted in an Ottoman victory and revolt suppression. At the revolt’s onset, the Arkadi Monastery had served as rebel headquarters, but became the scene of self-induced gunpowder barrel explosions along with a massacre. Several Cretan uprisings against the Ottomans occurred in the mid-to-late-19th century, prompting Great Britain, France, Italy and Russia, the “Great Powers”, to garrison troops on the island circa February 1897. Autonomy under Ottoman suzerainty was proposed by the Great Powers in March 1898. The September 6, 1898 Candia massacre resulted in 500–800 Christian inhabitant, and 14 British military personnel, murders, along with the British vice-consul and family being burned alive inside their home. Subsequently, Ottoman troops and administrators were expelled from the island by early-November, and autonomy was enforced by an incoming High Commissioner, Prince George of Greece, in December 1898. The Great Powers thus rose the Cretan State flag, with a white star to represent Ottoman suzerainty over the island. The proposed suzerainty most definitely served as a ruse to temporarily assuage the Ottomans. In 1908, Cretan deputies declared union with Greece. Then, at the 1912 First Balkan War’s onset, the Greek government declared Crete a Greek territory, which was not recognized internationally until December 1, 1913. The May 1941 Battle of Crete between the United Kingdom (largely) and Nazi Germany resulted in an Axis victory and occupation of “Fortress Crete“. During German occupation, the Massacre of Kondomari and Viannos massacres occurred. A majority of German forces evacuated Crete in October 1944, leaving only a small garrison at Chania. Following VE Day, the remaining Germans surrendered at Knossos to British Major-General Colin Callander. A series of political clashes in Athens, known as Dekemvriana during World War II, influenced the Greek Civil War (1946-1949). On Crete’s prolonged civil war battlefield, 34 remaining communist Democratic Army of Greece fighters finally surrendered in 1974, 25 years after Greece’s mainland civil war had ended.
Home to around 625,000 “Cretans”, Crete is the world’s 88th largest island, with over 650 miles of coastline. Turquoise waters can be found at various beaches encompassing the island. Diverse marine life consists of endangered monk seals, dolphins, octopi, sea turtles, fin whales, seahorses and various fish species. Several shark species inhabit the waters around Crete such as blue sharks, Mako, threshers and more, though human encounters are rare. Dangerous land animals are non-existent on Crete, where, according to Greek mythology, Zeus was born. Legend states that Hercules, honoring Zeus, removed all harmful and dangerous animals. About 210,000 of the island’s inhabitants live in the capital city of Heraklion. Annually, over 6 million people visit Crete, which is roughly 100 miles south of mainland Greece. Chania International Airport is named after after Daskalogiannis. Crete’s Mediterranean climate is characterized by hot, humid summers and mild winters. Summer July high temperatures average around 85 °F, while January winter highs stay around 59 °F. The island’s highest peaks are often snowcapped between November and April. Snowfall is rare in lower elevations, though not impossible. Additional points of interest are Va (eastern beach / protected natural area), Knossos (Bronze Age archaeological site), Frangokastello (castle), Matala (southern village) Samariá Gorge, Heraklion Archaeological Museum and Pankritio Stadium. Local foods include souvlaki (skewered meats), moussaka (ground meat, eggplant dish), dolma (stuffed grape leaves), spanakopita (savory spinach pie), dakos (meze appetizer with tomatoes, crumbled feta / mizithra cheese and herbs), tzatzkiki (cold cucumber-yogurt sauce), saganaki (fried cheese appetizer) and various seafoods. Popular drinks are wine, beer, raki (licorice-flavored aperitif) and Greek coffee (bold, kaimaki foam on top, unstrained grounds on bottom – brewed in a special briki pot). With some background information on the area, we’re ready for hotels in Crete that will help make for an outstanding trip.

Málaga. Hotels in Malaga are some of Southern Spain’s best accommodations. Before we get to hotels in Malaga, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.
Around 700 BC, Phoenicians from Tyre founded a colony named Malake near present-day Malaga. The ancient colony became an important waypoint between Phoenicia and the Strait of Gibraltar. Sometime around the 6th century, Malake came under Carthaginian rule. Early Malaga was positioned between Gibralfaro Hill and the mouth of the Malaca flumen, or Guadalmedina River. The Roman Republic took control of the town, known to them as Malaca, following the Punic Wars. 1st century BC Greek geographer Strabo noted Malaca’s Phoenician characteristics, which contrasted the more Hellenistic, neighboring settlement of Mainake. Discovered in the 20th century near Malaca, the Lex Malacitana bronze tablet depicts, in Latin, the Roman-era Flavian municipal law. The Lex Malacitana, presently on display at Madrid’s National Archaeological Museum, provides new insights into the area’s municipal court system. During their time in Malaca, the Romans built a theater. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the area was ruled first by the Visigoths, and then by the Byzantine Empire circa 552 AD. The town was rooted in fishing and maritime trade, which the Byzantines revived by restoring and expanding the docks. In 615, Visigoth King Sisebut retook the town from the Byzantines. About 100 years later, Arab and Berber forces took control of Málaga, which was known to them as Mālaqah. Málaga became a capital city in 930, replacing Archidona. Persian historian Aḥmad al-Rāzī noted the area’s vineyards and high-quality raisins in the early-10th century. The Hammudids, following the collapse of the Umayyad dynasty, established the Taifa of Málaga kingdom in the 11th century. Shortly thereafter, control of the city changed hands amongst the Algerian Granadan Zirids, the Sevillian Abbadids and the North African Almoravids. Malaga became a part of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada in the 13th century. Maghrebi explorer Ibn Battuta noted the town’s beauty, along with its abundance of foodstuffs, fruits and gilded pottery, while passing through in 1325. Málaga was the main port of the Emirate of Granada Nasrid dynasty in the 15th century. Around this time, Genoese merchants maintained a large presence at the port, which served as an important stopover for both Atlantic and regional trade ships. Christian forces seized Malaga on August 18, 1487 after a 3-month 11 days siege on the city, which was part of the Granada War. Muslim war captives were sold into slavery and the Jewish population was held for ransom. Merchant Alí Dordux, along with 50 others, were the only people allowed to remain in the city. The remaining Muslims converted to Catholic Christianity and the city was quickly inhabited by Christian settlers from various Iberian Peninsula locales. Under the Crown of Castile, the city endured a series of typhus fever outbreaks. Fourteen years after a revolt against the Admiral of Castile following Ferdinand II’s death, Malaga freed itself from Admiralty control on December 2, 1530. At that time, prior privileges granted by the Catholic Monarchs were restored. By 1625, the city’s population reached approximately 36,000. The (first) August 24, 1704 Battle of Málaga between an Anglo-Dutch fleet and a Franco-Spanish naval force, the War of the Spanish Succession’s largest naval battle, proved largely inconclusive, albeit with the Franco-Spanish side suffering just over twice the casualties at 1,500 killed. The 19th century saw both industrialization and a steady increase in population, along with economic turmoil by way of the grape phylloxera (grapevine insect pests). The Second Republic retained control of Malaga following the Spanish coup of July 1936, with the Republican navy based at the city’s harbor at the onset of the Spanish Civil War. Shortly thereafter, nationalist-sided Italian warships began bombarding the harbor. The second historical Battle of Malaga (February 3-8, 1937) between the Spanish Republic and Nationalist Spain (supported by Fascist Italian Corps of Volunteer Troops and Nazi Germany) resulted in a Nationalist, Francisco Franco victory. Following World War II, Franco continued to rule Spain until his death in late-1975. Three years later, Spain became a constitutional monarchy.
Home to nearly 600,000 “Malagueños”, Malaga is the Province of Malaga’s capital and an Andalusian autonomous community. In terms of economic activity, Malaga ranks as a top-four Spanish city behind Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia. Major business sectors are tourism, technology and construction. Andalusia’s largest bank, Unicaja is based in the city. Malaga welcomes around 6 million visitors annually. Spain’s oldest airport still in operation, Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport handles nearly 13 million passengers annually. Of the city’s 27 high-rise buildings, 2 of the tallest are AQ Urban Sky (365 feet) and Malaga Cathedral north tower (305 feet), while Torre del Puerto de Málaga (473 feet) is a planned luxury hotel skyscraper. The city’s dominant religion is Roman Catholicism. Home to a subtropical-Mediterranean climate, Malaga experiences mild, relatively rainy winters and hot, dry summers, along with about 300 days of sunshine per year. August summer highs average around 87 °F, while January winters stay around 62 °F. Additional points of interest are Anglican Cemetery of St. George (mainland Spain’s oldest non-Roman Catholic Christian cemetery), Palacio de los Condes de Buenavista (16th-century historical edifice) and University of Málaga (UMA).

Prior to the 1858 Pike’s Peak gold rush, the Denver-area was inhabited by several Native American tribes to include Apaches, Arapahoes, Cheyennes, Comanches and Utes. The 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, also known as the Horse Creek Treaty, between the United States and a handful of Tribal Nations’ chiefs stipulated, at least on the face of it, the ceasing of inter-tribal fighting, safe passage for white migrants / railroad surveyors through native lands and the allowing of the US government to build roads and army posts. If the terms were broken, the tribe would pay compensation to the US government. If the terms were abided, the US government would offer protection to Plain Indians along with a $50,000 annuity. Although the treaty was signed on September 17, 1851, it was never actually ratified. After a gold prospecting boom in the area, an influx of white miners and settlers established towns and farms, while improving roadways. The Treaty of Fort Laramie was never enforced. In 1858, the mining town of Montana City was established by Lawrence, Kansas gold prospectors on the banks of the South Platte River. This site would eventually develop into modern Denver, though the initial Montana City site was abandoned in favor of Auraria and St. Charles City. Kansas Territory land speculators General William Larimer and Captain Jonathan Cox staked a claim on a South Platte River and Cherry Creek bluff on November 22, 1858. Larimer named the site Denver City after Kansas Territorial Governor James W. Denver. Larimer and his St. Charles City Land Company associates sold town parcels to merchants and miners in hopes that the site would develop into a major city. Goods trading, livestock, saloons and gambling helped sustain the early frontier town of Denver City. Land parcels were traded, and even gambled away, to Auraria miners. The region’s first overland wagon route was secured in May 1859, when Denver City residents donated 53 lots to the Leavenworth & Pike’s Peak Express. In 1863, Western Union chose the town for its regional terminus. The February 18, 1861 Treaty of Fort Wise ceded more than 90 percent of Southern Cheyenne Indian Territory to the United States. On February 28, 1861, the Colorado Territory was created. Following Arapahoe County’s formation on November 1, 1861, Denver City was incorporated 6 days later. Denver City became the territorial capital in 1867 (shortening its name to Denver), and the permanent state capital in 1881. The 1864 Sand Creek massacre occurred during the Colorado War (1863-1865), which resulted in the Medicine Lodge Treaty and the relocation of the Cheyenne and Arapaho peoples. The Denver-Pacific Railway, designed to connect Denver to the transcontinental railroad, was completed on June 24, 1870. The railway helped immensely. Millionaires such as Horace Tabor built mansions. Tabor built a business block at 16th and Larimer along with the Tabor Grand Opera House. Luxury hotels such as the Brown Palace Hotel (present-day – The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, Autograph Collection) began accommodating guests. In the late-19th century, however, corruption plagued the city through crime bosses such as Jefferson Randolph “Soapy” Smith II and Louis Herbert Belonger “Lou Blonger“, who, alongside elected officials and police, controlled elections and gambling. Around this time a depression also occurred by way of a silver crash. The city overcame these adversities, however, during a period referred to as the “The Carnation Gold Rush” (1880s-1930s). Bears Stadium, which would later become Mile High Stadium, was originally built for minor league baseball in 1948. A major fire broke out at Rocky Flats Plant (nuclear weapon facility – 15 miles from Denver) in 1957, resulting in radioactive contamination in parts of Denver. Founded on August 14, 1959, the Denver Broncos won their first American Football League (AFL) game against the Boston Patriots (13-10) on September 9, 1960. Denver was selected to host the 1976 Winter Olympics, but voters struck down the games due to high cost of public funding, and they were moved to Innsbruck, Austria instead.
Colorado’s capital, Denver is home to around 715,000 “Denverites”. The city’s skyline is complimented by the distant Rocky Mountains. Rocky Mountain National Park is about an hour and a half drive westward. Denver has over 340 high-rise buildings, the tallest being Republic Plaza at 717 feet. Colorado was one of the first USA states to legalize marijuana, which quickly became a billion dollar industry. Mile High City welcomes around 37 million visitors annually. Home to a semi-arid continental climate, Denver experiences warm / hot summers and mild / cold winters. On average, the city receives over 53 inches of snowfall per year, along with about 300 days of sunshine. Summer high temperatures average around 89 °F, while winters average around 46 °F. Additional points of interest include Downtown, Millennium Bridge, Union Station, Colorado State Capitol, Denver Pavilions, 16th Street Mall, Denver Performing Arts Complex, Cheesman Park (lake, walking paths) and University of Denver. Local foods include barbecued meats, steak, cheeseburgers, burritos, tacos and green chili cheese fries. Popular drinks are lager & craft beer, whiskey, signature cocktails and wine.

Hotels in Munich provide excellent accommodations in a city nicknamed “Village of a Million People”. Also spelled München, Munich is known for its parks, palaces, museums, event venues, shopping malls, breweries, beer gardens, Bavarian restaurants, lederhosen (leather trousers), dirndl (feminine dress), football and, of course, Oktoberfest celebration. Bavaria’s capital, Munich is located in southeastern Germany, about 90 miles northwesterly of the Austrian city Salzburg. Flowing through Munich center, the Isar River is sourced by the Bavarian Alps’ Karwendel mountain range. Central Munich is home to medieval Old Town, the city’s oldest area, with its flagship stores, boutiques, Bavarian costumes, Marienplatz Square crowds, neo-Gothic architecture and beer gardens. Within the city, top attractions include Marienplatz (plaza), English Garden (park), Hellabrunn Zoo (zoo), Deutsches Museum (technology museum), Nymphenburg Palace (castle), pep Einkaufscenter Neuperlach (shopping mall), Stachus (plaza), Olympia Shopping Center (shopping mall), Pasing Arcaden (shopping mall), Munich Residenz (castle), Riem Arcaden (shopping mall), Augustiner Bräustuben (Bavarian restaurant / brewery), Wildpark Poing (wildlife park), Messe München (convention center), Biergarten am Chinesischen Turm (beer garden), Westpark (park), Hirschgarten (park / beer garden), Flaucher (park), Munich Olympic Stadium (stadium), Pinakothek der Moderne (art museum), Bavaria Filmstadt (theme park), V-Markt (hypermarket), Circus Krone (circus), Motorworld Munich (event venue), Sendlinger Tor (historical landmark / 14th century gate & towers), Backstage Kulturzentrum (event venue), Paulaner am Nockherberg (brewpub), Ostpark (park), MS Utting on bridge Lagerhausstrasse (gastropub), Pflanzen-Kölle Gartencenter GmbH & Co. KG München (garden center), Augustiner Schützengarten (beer garden), Münchner Freiheit (tourist attraction), Moosacher Paradies (restaurant) and Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum (museum). 60 miles southwesterly of Munich (about a 1 hour and 20 minute drive), Zugspitze is a popular mountain peak with a ski resort and cable car rides. Additional Bavarian Alp ski destinations are Rosshütte, Katzenkopf Leutasch, Ehrwalder Wettersteinbahnen, Innsbruck – Nordkette, Speicherteich Grubigläcke and Kandahar-Abfahrt, with accommodations to include Hotel am Badersee, Ferienhaus Badersee, Haus Florian and Gästehaus Angela. Munich’s main airport is Franz Josef Strauss International Airport, also known as Munich Airport. Good to know is that Uber rideshare does operate in Munich, with service to include the airport. Winners of 33 national and 6 Champions League titles,FC Bayern Munich plays at Allianz Arena on the city’s far northeasterly side. The world’s largest Volksfest. or “peoples’ festival”, Oktoberfest occurs from mid / late September to the first Sunday in October. Munich’s Oktoberfest draws about 6 million people annually, and is located at Theresienwiese Square near the Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum and Bavaria Statue (central-west side). When attending Oktoberfest, keep in mind that there is no need to buy tickets, though you should arrive early and bring enough cash. Tips are greatly appreciated. An Oktoberfest beer typically costs between €12.50 and €15 (about $13.50-$16.25) and is usually sold in a large, 1-liter (not pint) glass known as a Maß (pronounced mahs). Wine is also available and is most commonly served in a half-liter glass known as a Halben Liter. If you plan on attending Oktoberfest, of course you’ll want to try and book accommodations in advance. Legalized in 2010, river surfing at the man-made Eisbach wave (Englischer Garten / English Garden – southern edge) is permitted only for experienced surfers. Generally great people, Bavarians tend to be reserved. Although many Bavarians speak English, especially the younger crowd, learning at least some German is of course helpful. “Prost!” (cheers!) and “Wiesn” (Oktoberfest) are good places to start for the Oktoberfest-seeker especially. Keep in mind that Munich largely shuts down on Sundays, except for church services. Munich’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 16 years old for beer and 18 for liquor. Apart from Oktoberfest, Munich top events includeFilmfest München (film festival), Munich Opera Festival, Munich Biennale, Oben Ohne Open Air, Summer Tollwood, Kocherlball, Frühlingsfest, Auer Dult, Gasteig, Starkbierfest, Superbloom Festival, Greenfields Open Air Festival, Theatron Festival, Echelon! Festival (Bad Aibling, Bavaria) and Munich Christmas Market. Hotels in Munich are some of Germany’s best accommodations. Before we get to hotels in Munich, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.
In reference to 8th-century Benedictine-order monks, who once ran a monastery in Munich’s Old Town area, the name “Munich” derives from the Middle-High German term meaning, “to the monks”. A prehistoric trade route, the river Isar allowed Munich to develop into one of Bronze-Age-Europe’s largest raft ports, with excavated Munich settlements dating back four millennia. In Munich’s southeast Ramersdorf-Perlach (borough) Iron Age Celtic settlements have been discovered. Connecting the Bavarian town of Augsburg with Salzburg, the ancient Roman road Via Julia passed just south of Munich, through the towns of Baierbrunn and Gauting. Also excavated, a Roman settlement appears to have existed in the northeast Denning neighborhood. After the Roman era, the Munich area was populated by Baiuvarii, or Bavarians, with the first Christian church being built in Fröttmanning circa 815 AD. In order to control the salt trade, The Duke of Saxony and Bavaria’s Henry the Lion are considered as possible founders of Munich around the mid-12th century. Shards of 11th-century vessels, however, found in 2012 at Marienhof Square near Marienplatz may point to an earlier founding date than the officially recognized date, June 14, 1158. St. Peter’s Church, therefore, may have been built earlier as well. Regardless of Munich’s exact founding date is that upstream, near modern Old Town, Henry the Lion built a new toll bridge, a customs house and a coin market. Cistercian-German churchman Otto of Freising, in protest of the new toll bridge and through his connections with the Holy Roman Empire, eventually was awarded a third of the toll bridge’s income. Munich received city status and fortifications in 1175. Subsequently, through a falling-out with Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarosa (Otto of Freising’s uncle), Henry the Lion was exiled in 1180. Not surprisingly, Munich was given to the Bishop of Freising following Henry’s exile. Red-headed Otto I Wittelsbach, marking the beginning of an 800-year House of Wittelsbach Bavarian dynasty, became Duke of Bavaria in 1156. A native of Munich, Duke Louis IV was elected German king in 1314, and Holy Roman Emperor in 1328. Louis IV granted Munich a salt monopoly, which naturally contributed to the city’s growth. About a third of Munich was destroyed by fire on February 13, 1327, and in 1349 the Black Death further ravaged the town, along with Bavaria as a whole. In 1385, the first buildings of the Munich Residenz, or royal palace, were erected. Gothic arts revived Munich during the 15th century, a period when Old Town expanded and the modern Frauenkirche Gothic church was built in just 20 years. In 1506, following the Landshut War of Succession between Bavaria-Munich and Bavaria-Landshut / County Palatine of the Rhine, through which Bavaria-Munich arose victorious, Munich became the sole capital of Bavaria. A House of Wittelsbach Renaissance movement saw to the Antiquarium’s (collection of Greek / Roman antiquities) installment in the Munich Residenz along with a court orchestra, which promoted the city’s brief nickname, “German Rome”. Munich’s Hofbräuhaus, established solely for the purpose of supplying beer to the Bavarian court, was built for brewing brown beer on September 27, 1589 by Bavarian Duke Wilhelm the 5th. The Catholic League was founded in the city circa 1609. Around the Thirty Years’ War’s(1618–1648) midpoint, Munich was occupied briefly by Gustav II Adolph of Sweden. Bubonic plague struck again in 1634, killing a third of the city’s population. Throughout the 18th century, the House of Wittelsbach continued to hold power. Munich became an important center of Baroque life. German nobleman Charles Theodore, or Karl Theodor, of the House of Wittelsbach’s Suizbach branch, inherited Bavarian lands in 1777. Around the time of the American Revolution, Theodore invited Colonial Massachusetts-born, British physicist, inventor and lieutenant-colonel of the King’s American Dragoons (British provincial military unit – raised for Loyalist service) Count Rumford Benjamin Thompson to Munich in order to implement “social reforms”. Additionally, the Bavarian army, established in 1682, was to be restructured. Karl Theodor and Count Rumford demolished the city’s fortifications. As a result of their being forced to live in newly built workhouses, Munich’s residents, across multiple trades, decided to build a new community outside the city walls in 1793. Through an alliance with Napoleonic France, the Kingdom of Bavaria was formed in 1806, with Munich remaining its capital. Maximilian I Joseph (House of Wittelsbach – Palatinate-Birkenfield-Zweibrücken branch) became the Kingdom’s first king. Maximillian’s goals were to secularize Bavaria by dissolving all monasteries in 1802 and by generating state revenues from sold-off church lands, and to control beer-brewing rights by handing the brewing monopoly to Munich’s wealthiest brewers, who in turn paid considerable taxes on their beer production. In October 1810, the first beer festival, which would evolve into today’s Oktoberfest, was held to commemorate the crown price (Ludwig I) and princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen‘s royal wedding. Beer became so important to Munich that it was even considered a staple food. Beginning in 1826, the city’s finest buildings would be constructed by the Bavarian kings Ludwig I, Ludwig II and Otto (never actively ruled – supposed mental illness). On June 10th, 1865, Richard Wagner’s tragic opera Tristan und Isolde premiered in Munich. About 75 miles east of Munich, in the Austrian town of Braunau am Inn, eventual German Führer Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889. German mechanical engineer, physicist and professor of Physics at the University of Munich, Wilhelm Röntgen, for his production and detection of electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range (X-rays), was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics circa 1901. By the early 20th century, Munich had become a major center for the Jugendstil artistic movement, which combined liberal magazine culture with progressive industrial design and architecture. Also in the early-20th century, southern Germany was home to beer halls, where hundreds-to-thousands of people would come in the evenings to socialize, engage in political debates and even host political rallies. Following World War I, it was widely believed in Germany that the Imperial German Army did not, in fact, lose on the battlefield, but rather was betrayed, or “stabbed in the back”, on the home-front by certain citizens, particularly Jews, socialists and politicians who had overthrown the House of Hohenzollern. Adolf Hitler, who had fought in the German Army during the First World War, and who was a post-war agent of the Bavarian Army’s Intelligence Division, was ordered to infiltrate the German Workers’ Party (DAP), which Hitler, in turn, joined on September 12, 1919. Agreeing with many of the DAP’s underlying tenants, Hitler rose to its top-post during Munich’s post-war political chaos. Inspired by Benito Mussolini’s successful March on Rome, Hitler, along with a league of nationalist fighting societies known as the Kampfbund, began planning (October 22-29, 1922) a similar march against the Weimar Republic in Berlin, with Munich as his home-base. Roughly a year later, commencing in totalitarian-fashion during a period of terror and political violence in Munich, a ruling triumvirate (conservative monarchist politician and jurist Gustav Ritter von Kahr, state police chief Colonel Hans Ritter von Seisser and Reichswehr General Otto von Lossow) banned Hitler from holding 14 planned mass meetings in September 1923. Realizing that Kahr would stand in the way against his march against the Weimer Republic, Hitler undertook one of the most significant events in Munich’s more recent history, the Beer Hall Putsch. On November 8, 1923, Hitler, along with the Sturmabteilung (original Nazi Party paramilitary), marched on the Bürgerbräukeller beer hall where Kahr was making a speech in front of 3,000 people, surrounded the hall, and set up a machine gun in the auditorium. Now inside the beer hall with his associates, and unable to be heard above the crowd, Hitler fired a shot into the ceiling, jumped on a chair and yelled “The national revolution has broken out! The hall is surrounded by six hundred men. Nobody is allowed to leave.” Hitler’s putsch was not immediately successful and proved fatal, as 15 Kampfbund and 4 Weimar Republic belligerents were killed. Arrested shortly thereafter, Hitler was sent to trial. Pro-Nazi, the lay judges actually may have acquitted Hitler, had it not been for presiding Judge Georg Neithardt’s influence, and Hitler was sentenced to five years in Festungshaft (fortress confinement) for treason. During his confinement at Landsberg Prison, Hitler wrote the first volume of his autobiographical manifesto Mein Kampf, within which Chapter IV is titled “Munich”. In Chapter IV, Hitler starts with “One must know Munich if one would know Germany”. Hitler was released from Festungshaft after only eight months for good behavior. In retrospect, although unsuccessful, Hitler’s beer hall putsch was not only a defining moment for Munich, but also for the trajectory of the world, as it gave Hitler and the Nazis their first national attention, as well as a propaganda victory. Post-1933 Munich became an important city for the Nazi Party, as its headquarters was based at the Brown House between the Karolinenplatz and Königsplatz. Dachau, the first concentration camp, was built roughly 10 miles northwest of Munich. During World War II, Munich was bombed heavily. In 1945, after the war, a United States occupation of Munich saw to a meticulous rebuilding plan, whereby the city’s pre-war street grid would be preserved. Munich hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics, along with six 2006 FIFA Word Cup matches at Allianz Arena.
Bavaria’s capital and most populous city, Munich is home to around 1.5 million “Münchners” (male) and “Münchnerins” (female) altogether. Munich’s colors are black and yellow, while Bavaria’s are blue and white. Munich is Germany’s third-largest city behind Berlin and Hamburg. A high standard of living is expected in Village of a Million People, though its real estate prices and rental costs are some of Germany’s highest. About 30% of Munich’s residents are foreigners. BMW is based in Munich. Historically influential and at times volatile, Munich’s city council today consists of 13 different political groups. Munich’s Landtag of Bavaria (Bavarian State Parliament) assembles at the Maximilianeum (palatial building). Situated on Upper Bavaria’s elevated plains, Munich is surrounded by a number of varying natural habitats to include rivers, plateaus, foothills, flint areas, moraines, glacial out-washes and marshes. Beyond the skyline, the distant, snow-capped Bavarian Alps can be observed from certain higher points within the city. Munich experiences warm / hot summers and cold winters. July high temperatures average around 76 ℉, while January winters are around 38 ℉. During Oktoberfest, daytime highs average a pleasant 60 degrees. October is usually Germany’s driest month. In winter, snow and frost are not uncommon, though snow cover is typically brief. Additional points of interest include Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall), Heilig-Geist-Kirche (Holy Ghost Church), Feldherrnhalle (monumental loggia – site of the Beer Hall Putsch battle), Bavarian National Museum (decorative arts museum), National Theatre (historic opera house), The Glyptothek (sculpture museum), Olympiaturm (The Olympic Tower), Olympiapark (Olympic Park – site of 1972 Summer Olympics), BMW Welt (exhibition / event venue / museum), Old Town Hall (Gothic city council building), Ludwigstraße (royal avenue), Rindermarkt (old street – originally a cattle marketplace), Mariensäule (Marian column – Marienplatz), Ruffinihaus (three-sided house), Augustiner Brewery and Bahnwärter Thiel (cultural center).

Known for its fountain, flower clock, lakeside baths / parks, gardens, castles, medieval houses, museums, monuments, concert halls, music venues, scenic views, marinas, chocolate, fondue and watchmaking, Geneva is located in Switzerland’s remote west. Bordering France at 1,230 feet above sea level, Geneva is surrounded by the Bernese Alps and the Jura Mountains. French is the city’s official language. About 3 hours from the Swiss capital of Zurich, Geneva is complimented by 45-mile long, 8.7-mile wide, 1,020-foot deep Lake Geneva, which is home to a number of fish species ranging from walleye to largemouth bass. Prior to the 16th century, Lake Geneva was named Lac Léman, which was revived in the 18th century, and remains the lake’s official French name to this day. 60% of Lake Geneva belongs to Switzerland and 40% belongs to France.

Although it is not part of the EU, Switzerland does participate in the Schengen Agreement, which largely abolishes internal border checks, yet allows for police to cross borders in pursuit. The Schengen Agreement, as applied to Switzerland, also stipulates that short stays may not exceed 90 days in any 180-day period. Driving between Geneva and France generally is seamless. Geneva electrical outlets require special plug types (Types C and J), so it’s recommended to pack adapters for any electrical devices. Although English is spoken in Geneva, especially in tourist places, learning at least some French, and even Italian, before visiting can be helpful. Geneva’s currency is the Swiss Franc, cars travel on the right-hand side of the road and the legal drinking ages are 16 years old for beer/wine and 18 years old for liquor. Geneva top events include Geneva International Film Festival, Paléo Festival de Nyon, Montreux Jazz Festival, Caribana Festival, Vernier sur Rock, Swiss National Day, Bol D’or Mirabaund and Geneva Motor Show. Hotels in Geneva are some of Central Europe’s best accommodations. Before we get to hotels in Geneva, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.
The Gallic Allobrogian people first fortified the border town of Geneva to fend off the neighboring Celtic Helvetians. In 121 BC, however, the town fell to the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar once referred to the town as Genava, possibly in reference to the Celtic word genawa- / genu- (“mouth” / estuary), while referencing the Italian port city of Genoa (Genova). Under the Late Roman Empire, Geneva became Christian and acquired its first bishop circa the 5th century. The Diocese of Geneva, a Latin Church ecclesiastical jurisdiction / diocese, merged with the Diocese of Chambéry around this time. In the century prior, the town had been connected to the Bishopric of Vienne. Medival Geneva was known as pagus major Genevensis or Comitatus Genevensis (Middle Latin language) and later the Genevois province of Savoy. During the Middle Ages, the County of Geneva was ruled by a Holy Roman Empire “count”. In the late-14th century, however, the town was granted self-governance by way of a charter, albeit at the hands of the House of Savoy, a royal, Franco-Italian house. The 15th-century’s, newly formed Grand Council of Geneva instituted a “oligarchic republican” government. The Protestation Reformation reached the city early in the following century. Savoy rule was overthrown and Geneva allied itself with the Swiss Confederacy, or the Old Swiss Confederacy, a loose confederation of independent states. French theologian and pastor John Calvin, who inspired Calvinism, became the city’s spiritual leader in 1541. Calvin’s Geneva is sometimes referred to as “Protestant Rome”. After Calvin, Catholic France moved in by the 18th century. The Swiss banking system is rooted in the Great Council of Geneva, which outlawed the disclosure of information concerning the European upper class circa 1713. Due to the French crown’s persecution of his controversial writings, François-Marie Arouet, also known as Voltaire, sought refuge in Geneva, where he resided at Les Délices between March 1755 and late-1760. Catholic France’s presence was at odds with the Geneva townspeople. A conflict between upper-middle class merchant burghers and lower-middle class “natives”, who were principally watchmakers, was the Geneva Revolution of 1782. Having been excluded from voting or serving in office, natives, along with immigrant “habitants”, broke into the municipal armory and armed themselves on February 5, 1781. To assuage the impending rebellion, the Genevan Small Council voted to grant voting rights to 100 “natives” and 20 “habitants”, which was reneged over a year later by the Genevan Small Council, naturally sparking further revolutionary insinuations. Ultimately, with support from the Kingdom of France, the city-state of Bern and the Kingdom of Sardinia, the burghers exiled 21 prominent revolutionaries, who were followed-out by around 500 other natives / habitants, first to the Swiss town of Neuchâtel, where they were again exiled, and then to Waterford, Ireland. Shortly after the 1782 revolution, Geneva was annexed in 1798. At the end of the Napoleonic Wars, France lost Geneva, which joined the Swiss Confederation on May 19, 1815. Separation of church and state commenced in 1907, and from there Geneva began to flourish.
Home to over 200,000 “Genevans”, Geneva is Switzerland’s second-most populous city behind Zurich. Geneva is the Republic and Canton of Geneva’s capital. Although Geneva’s municipal area spans a mere 6 square miles, the city’s ranked as the world’s forth-most expensive city for expatriate employees. Historically, the Swiss banking system has been renowned for its levels of low risk and high privacy. Geneva has a number of tall buildings, though the city is not known for its skyscrapers. At 300 feet, Pictet Tower is the tallest building currently. Geneva’s main Christmas market is Noël au Quai. Defined by a temperate climate, The Peace Capital experiences warm summers and cool winters. Average summer high temperatures average around 80 °F, while winters stay around 40 °F. Light frosts are common during winter nights. Snowfall is typically minimal within the city, though the distant, snow-capped mountains make for dramatic scenery. Additional points of interest are Institute et Musée Voltaire, Grand Théâtre de Genève, University of Geneva and Collège Calvin (Geneva’s oldest public secondary school – founded 1559 by John Calvin). Local foods include longeole (traditional pork sausage with cumin), malakoff (fried cheese ball), bircher muesli (breakfast cereal made with cream and lemon juice), rösti (potato fritter), fondue and chocolate. Popular drinks are white wine, craft beer, coffee and hot chocolate. Switzerland’s national drink is Rivella (soft drink since 1952 produced from milk whey). With some background information on the area, we’re ready for hotels in Geneva that are sure to inspire.

Hotels in Bucharest offer excellent accommodations in a destination nicknamed “Paris of the East” and “City of Joy”. Known for its shopping malls, museums, concert halls, opera houses, theaters, Orthodox churches, monasteries, historic / grand municipal buildings, Art Nouveau architecture, French designs, narrow cobbled streets, courts (heritage sites), pătrate (squares), parcuri (parks), grădini (gardens), arboretums (botanical gardens used for scientific study), markets, street food and electronic dance music (EDM) nightclubs, Bucharest is located in southern Romania, about 60 miles from Bulgaria (southerly) and a little over 300 miles from Ukraine and Moldova (northeasterly). Once occupied by Vlad III, aka Vlad the Impaler, Bucharest is separated into 6 “sectors”. Passing through Bucharest, the Dâmbovița river flows into the river Argeș, which is a tributary of the Danube. Circumnavigating the city is the fully operational Centura București (Bucharest Beltway) ring road, while the partially-built Bucharest Ring Motorway (under construction) is intended to be the city’s second, outer ring road. Bucharest main points of interest include AFI Cotroceni (shopping mall), ParkLake Shopping Center (shopping mall), Băneasa Shopping City (shopping mall), Cismigiu Gardens (English-style park – lake, rose garden, pavilion), Mega Mall (shopping mall), Tineretului Park (lake, sports complex, kids’ area, cycling trails), Alexandru Ioan Cuza Park (lake, 5 small islands, church, sports facilities, playgrounds), Sun Plaza (shopping mall), Children’s Town Bucharest (amusement park), Grigore Antipa National Museum of Natural History (Black Sea & Atlantic wildlife dioramas, humpback whale skeleton), The National Arena (stadium), Bucharest Mall (shopping mall), Carol I Park (scenic park – lake, French garden, mausoleum, monuments, est. 1906), Arcul de Triumf (monument – high granite arch, internal stairs, city views, built in memory of WWI troops), The Romanian Athenaeum (neoclassical concert hall – opened 1888), Orhideea (shopping mall), Militari Shopping (shopping mall), Plaza Romania (shopping mall), Bucharest Fountains (spring-fall dancing water displays – music, lights, 3D projections), National Village Museum (“Dimitrie Gusti” – ethnographic museum), “Children’s World” Park (amusement park recreation area – playgrounds, flower-lined paths, BBQ pits), Circus’ Park (scenic park – lake, vegetation, walking paths, playground), Cocoșu Roșu (Romanian restaurant), La Ciotoianu Grill (restaurant), Casa Ceaușescu (former Romanian president residence – gardens, built 1964), National Museum of Romanian History, Palace of Parliament (parliament building / conference center – ornate interior), Ivan`s Bar & Grill (restaurant), “Văcărești” Natural Park (protected lake land – walking paths, marsh harriers, moorhens, coots), Steaua Stadium, Titanii Park (fountains, children’s play equipment), The National Military Museum (expansive weaponry – swords, firearms, fortification / transport models), and “Cotroceni” National Museum (Romanian president residence – medieval church, lush grounds). Beyond Centura București, attractions include Therme Bucharest (Europe’s largest urban beach, mineral pools, saunas, waterslides, indoor botanical garden), Palatul Mogoșoaia (1700s palace – art museum, restaurant, picnic areas), Mogoșoaia Park, La Nuci (restaurant), Comana Natural Park (nature preserve / river delta – hiking, boardwalk birdwatching, guided boat tours), “Cernica” Monastery (lakeside sanctuary – frescoed church, cemetery, founded 1608), Snagov Forest (nature preserve – lake, wooded biking trails, lakeside picnic spots, kids’ adventure park), Amckart (amusement center), The Dendrological Park (arboretum), Taverna Studioului (restaurant), Bokaa (event venue), TreeHouse Cosoba (country club), Rustic Pub Grădiștea (restaurant / pub), By The Lake (event venue) and BOHO Forest (event venue).

Good to know is that Uber rideshare does operate in Bucharest, with service to include the airport. Airport car rental agencies include Klass Wagen, PriceCarZ, Duo Rent a Car, CarHunt, Unirent, Autorom Rent a Car, Trio Rent a Car, WLC Rent A Car, ZoomRent and Autonom Otopeni. Keep in mind that an electronic vignette is required at Romanian toll stations. While most car rental agencies will have valid electronic vignettes already assigned to their respective vehicles, it might be best to double check with the agency upon pick-up. While at the airport, especially if you have some time to kill, Ion Tiriac’s “Țiriac Collection” Auto Gallery is worth a visit. Bucharest’s top football club is FCSB, which plays at Arena Națională (The National Arena) on the city’s east side. Although English is widely spoken in Bucharest, especially in the service industry and with the younger crowd, learning some Romanian words / phrases of course would be helpful. Buna ziua (hello), la revedere (goodbye), mulțumesc (thank you) and vorbiți engleză (do you speak English?) are good places to start. Compared to other European capital cities, Bucharest is relatively inexpensive. When in Bucharest, keep in mind that it’s possible to see stray dogs, which are best avoided. Crime is generally low, though beggars do exist who are typically Roma people, sometimes referred to as “gypsies”. Apart from begging, pickpocketing is known to occur. In Bucharest restaurants and bars, tips are greatly appreciated. Bucharest currency is the Romanian Lei, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Paris of the East top events include Bucharest International Film Festival, George Enescu International Festival, Bucharest Christmas Market (Parliament Palace – Constitutiei Square), Summer Well Festival, Bucharest Jazz Festival, BalKaniK Festival, B-FIT in the Street, Bucharest Early Music Festival, Summer in the City (music festival), Old Grave Fest (metal music festival), International Folklore Festival, Bucharest Marathon, Bucharest Street Food Festival and Bucharest Summit. Hotels in Bucharest are some of Southeastern Europe’s best accommodations. Before we get to hotels in Bucharest, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.
The Romanian name Bucharesti’s origin is unclear. Possibly the name derived from a shepherd named Bucar, who, according to legend, founded the city. Bucurie in Romanian means “joy”. Historically, Bucharest was located in an area of present-day Romania known as Wallachia (1290 AD – 1859 AD). Bucharest was first mentioned in 1459 as the “Citadel of Bucharest”. Voivode of Wallachia, Vlad III “the Impaler” occupied Bucharest in November 1476, forcing the Ottoman-backed ruler there, Basarab Laiotă, to seek refuge in the Ottoman Empire. A month later, Vlad the Impaler was killed near Snagov (25 miles north of Bucharest), though the circumstances surrounding his death, and burial, are uncertain. Different theories exist. Vlad’s army of about 2,000 may have been cornered and massacred by about 4,000 Turkish-Basarabs. Vlad may have been slain by a disguised Turkish assassin in his own camp, or by his own troops who mistook him for a Turk in battle. Vlad’s body was likely dismembered, with his head placed on a high spike for display in Constantinople. Tradition states that the remnants of Vlad’s corpse were discovered in Snagov marshes by monks from the nearby monastery. Although Vlad’s exact burial location is unknown, theories point to either Snagov Monastery or Comana Monastery. Regardless of the uncertainty surrounding his death, Vlad III is remembered most famously through the character Dracula. During Vlad’s second reign, Old Princely Court (Curtea Veche) was erected in present-day central Bucharest. After Vlad’s demise, Bucharest became a summer residence for the royal court. Bucharest became the Wallachian court’s permanent location in 1699 on account of the town’s proximity to Southern Muntenia, and through demands made by the suzerain (Ottomans). Greek administrators and members of prominent families, Phanariotes were appointed by the Ottomans to run the town during the 18th century. The Constantinople Greeks’ rule, however, came to an end by way of the 1821 Wallachian uprising. Beginning a few years after the uprising, Bucharest was placed under Russian, and then Austrian, control. In early-1847, about a third of the city was destroyed by fire. Wallachia and Moldavia united in 1862 to form the Principality of Romania, with Bucharest becoming the new nation’s capital. 19 years later, the Kingdom of Romania was established. Today’s ring road route was once occupied by 19th-century fortifications that encircled the city. Following the World War I Battle of Bucharest, Germans occupied the city, and the capital was temporarily moved to Iași (Jassy). Bucharest reclaimed its capital status during the interwar period of Greater Romania. During this time, iconic landmarks were built such as Arcul de Triumf and Palatul Telefoanelor, though further urban developments were hampered by the Great Depression in Romania and the Grivița Strike of 1933. Romania initially allied with Axis powers during World War II, and Bucharest was the site of a 1941 Legionnaires’ rebellion and pogrom. Early in the war, Bucharest took heavy damage from Allied bombings. However, Romania switched sides to join Allied forces after an August 1944 royal coup (King Michael). Subsequently, Bucharest was bombed by the Nazi Luftwaffe, though the city suppressed an additional German attempt to regain the city. Following World War II, communism was installed in Romania by way of the Socialist Republic of Romania (1947-1989). The Soviet Union considered Romania a conquered territory on account of its early allegiance to the Nazis. The Romanian Parliament abolished the monarchy on December 30, 1947 and declared Romania a “People’s Republic”. The following year, the Communists merged with the Social Democrats to form the Romanian Workers’ Party. The constitution of April 13,1948, mimicking the 1936 Soviet Constitution, solidified a communist regime in Romania. Under communism, Romania endured political repression. Marxist–Leninist atheism was promoted, while religious persecution was carried out. Church properties, including schools, and all banks were nationalized in 1948. Due to Nicolae Ceaușescu’s late-1960s nativist policies, illegal abortions led to orphanages, street children and overcrowding in homes and schools. During this time, invasions of privacy were carried out by the secret police (Securitate), and censorship was implemented. Antii-Ceaușescu protests prompted the Romanian Revolution of 1989, which led to the overthrow of the Communist regime, and student leagues’ organizing of anti-Communist rallies in early-1990. From there, modernization ensued to include the restoration of Bucharest’s old historic center.
Home to around 1.9 million “Bucharesters”, Bucharest is Romania’s capital and largest city. 9% of Romania’s population resides in Bucharest. Industry and service sectors help drive the city’s economy, with most of Romania’s large companies based in Paris of the East. The Bucharest Stock Exchange lists 83 companies and has a market capitalization of around $75 billion. 100 high-rise buildings make up the city’s skyline, with 6 skyscrapers exceeding 328 feet in height. Characterized by a humid continental climate, Bucharest experiences hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. July high temperatures average around 87 °F, while January highs dip to around 37 °F. Bucharest’s 6 sectors are disposed radially so that each district has a part of city center. District 1 comprises the northwest, while subsequent districts continue clockwise, ending at westward district 6.
Additional points of interest include Palace of the Parliament, Old Town, Lipscani district (Old Town Middle Ages / 19th century commercial area – restaurants, bars, nightlife), Calea Victoriei (central avenue), Victoriei Avenue (central boulevard – architecture, luxury shops, cultural landmarks), Unirii Boulevard (central thoroughfare), Magheru Boulevard (central street – shopping district), Unirii Square, National Museum of Art of Romania, Odeon Theatre, Palace of the Romanian Orthodox Patriarchate (Palatul Patriarhiei), Palace of Justice, National Library of Romania, Cărturești Carusel Bookstore, SkyTower (Romania’s tallest building – shopping mall, entertainment, retail offices), Unirea Shopping Center, Herăstrău Park, University of Bucharest and Romexpo Dome.

Romania’s national drink is ţuică (potent moonshine – distilled from plums), while palinca (strong fruit brandy), craft beer and wine are also popular. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for hotels in Bucharest that will help make for a memorable experience.

North Texas was inhabited first by indigenous tribes to include the Caddo Nation, Comanche Nation, Wichita, Kickapoo and Tawakoni. Following European arrival, Texas was controlled by Spain (Early Spanish explorations – 1519–1543), France (French Texas – 1684–1689), Spain (Spanish ‘Tejas’ Texas – 1690–1821), Mexico (Mexican Texas – 1821–1836), the Republic of Texas (1836–1845), the United States (Republic of Texas annexed to the USA, becoming 28th State – 1845–1860), the Confederate States (Texas secedes from the Union, joins Confederacy – 1861–1865) and the United States (post-Civil War – 1865-present), respectively. Spain first arrived to conduct slave raids in the 16th century, which created long-lasting, Native American disdain for Spain in particular. In 1685, France intended to establish a settlement at the mouth of the Mississippi River, but inaccurate maps and navigational errors led them 400-miles astray westerly to Texas, where French explorer René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle and members of his expedition established Fort Saint-Louis. France’s colonization of Texas lasted only three years (1685-1688), mainly due to epidemics, challenging conditions and Native American raids. In 1716, following a failed attempt 26 years prior, Spanish colonists claimed the Texas territory permanently for New Spain’s Viceroyalty, with San Antonio becoming the capital circa 1719. The Apache Nation’s easternmost band, the Lipan Apache gave Spain the most trouble early-on, until peaceful terms were met in 1749. Subsequently, both the Spanish and Lipan were met with Comanche raids until 1785, when an additional peace agreement was negotiated among all parties. Through the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, the United States acquired northern portions of Texas, and Anglo-American influence increased in the area. Napoleon’s abdication of King Ferdinand VII in May 1808 created uncertainty regarding who was actually in control of the Spanish Empire, especially in the colonies. The 1810-1821 Mexican War of Independence between Mexico and Spain resulted in an independence agreement, with the Spanish Empire losing the territory of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Toward the war’s end, the 1819 Adams–Onís Treaty established the Red River as New Spain’s northern boundary, placing future-Dallas in Spanish territory. When Mexico declared independence from Spain in 1821, however, the Dallas-area fell briefly into the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. Texas gained independence from Mexico in 1836, when a majority of Anglo-American settlers formed the Republic of Texas. Presbyterian farmer, lawyer and tradesman John Neely Bryan, two years after after planting a stake in the ground on a Trinity River three forks bluff, established a permanent settlement named Dallas in 1841. Although the settlement name’s origin is unclear, several possibilities include future Vice President George M. Dallas, one of Dallas’ brothers Commodore Alexander James, James R. or Walter Dallas or Dallas, Moray, Scotland. In 1845, the Republic of Texas was annexed by the United States, and the following year Dallas County was established, with Dallas being formally incorporated as a city on February 2, 1856. Texas’ first railroad was the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos, and Colorado Railway (BBB&C), which began operating a 20-mile connection in 1853. Farming, the cattle trade and its strategic location on trade routes helped sustain early-Dallas. On February 1, 1861, Texas declared its secession from the Union. Replacing governor Sam Houston with Lieutenant Governor Edward Clark, Texas joined the Confederate States on March 2, 1861. Confederate Texas was most useful for supplying the Confederate Army with soldiers and supplies. Following the Civil War, Texas was absorbed back into the Union, as the Declaration of Secession had not been officially recognized by the US government at Washington, DC. More railroads were constructed in the late-19th century, and the Dallas-area became a hub for the shipping of commodities such as cotton and oil. One of the first skyscrapers west of the Mississippi, the Praetorian Building was built at Main and Stone Streets in downtown Dallas circa 1909. Around this time, thoroughbred horseracing, which included the Dallas Jockey Club and a Fort Worth racetrack, was introduced to the area. On March 3, 1910, black man Allen Brooks, accused of raping a young white girl, was lynched at the downtown intersection of Main and Akard. During the Great Depression, Dallas was relatively unaffected, helped largely by oilman Columbus Marion “Dad” Joiner’s striking of oil in Kilgore (100 miles east of Dallas) in 1930. Through the Texas oil boom, Dallas became Texas and Oklahoma’s financial center for the oil industry. During World War II, Ford’s plant in East Dallas produced over 94,000 jeeps and over 6,000 military trucks, while North American Aviation manufactured over 18,000 aircraft at its Dallas plant, for the United States and Allied forces. On November 22, 1963, passing through Dealey Plaza in a convertible car alongside his wife Jacqueline and motorcade, US President John F. Kennedy was struck by two bullets, and pronounced dead 30 minutes later at Dallas Parkland Memorial Hospital.
Home to around 1.3 million “Dallasites”, Dallas is the Lone Star State’s third most populous city behind Houston and San Antonio. Big D spans 385.9 square miles, 43.87 of which are occupied by water. A major business hub, Dallas is corporate headquarters for a number of publicly traded companies such as AT&T, Energy Transfer LP, Tenet Healthcare, Southwest Airlines and Texas Instruments. The Dallas skyline includes 262 skyscrapers, 28 of which exceed 400 feet in height. Rising 921 feet, Bank of America Plaza is the city’s tallest building. Probably the most recognizable building is the ball-shaped Reunion Tower, which makes for an impressive spectacle especially at night. Dallas is a major destination for both business and tourism, welcoming around 25 million visitors annually. One of the United States’ largest convention centers at over 1,000,000 square feet, and boasting the world’s single-largest column-free exhibit hall, Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas is located centrally, close to Reunion Tower. The city’s humid subtropical climate accounts for hot, humid summers and mild winters with occasional cold spells. Summer highs average in the mid-90s °F, while winter highs average around 60 °F. Frost, hail and tornadoes are all entirely possible in Dallas. Additional points of interest include Downtown, Dallas Arts District,Meadows Museum, NorthPark Center, City Hall, AT&T Performing Arts Center (Dallas Center for the Performing Arts) and Union Station Dallas. Barbecue and Tex-Mex cuisine are both big in Dallas. Local foods include T-bone steak, tenderloin, beef brisket, ribs, sausage, cowboy chili (beef, chilis, spices, no beans), chili con queso and chips, chicken-fried steak, pecan pie, lava cake, sheet cake and peach cobbler. Popular drinks are craft beer, specialty cocktails, whiskey and, invented in Dallas circa 1971, the frozen margarita. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for hotels in Dallas that are sure to knock your boots off.

Native Americans inhabited the Nashville area for an estimated 14,000 years. It is believed that the first settlers arrived during the Paleoindian period circa 13,000 BC. The Middle Cumberland Mississippian tribe, who built platform mounds, palisaded villages and stone box cemeteries, vanished from the area sometime around 1500 AD. From there, various tribes, including the Shawnee, Cherokee and Chickasaw, utilized the area as a hunting ground. In 1710, French trader Charles Charleville established a trading post named French Lick, which would later become Nashville. French Canadian fur trader Timothy Demonbreun, who utilized the French Lick trading post and lived in a cave alongside the Cumberland River, is thought to be the first non-native to inhabit the area permanently. Although John Buchanan may have arrived in the area shortly beforehand, James Robertson generally is regarded as negotiating the area’s first permanent European settlement, Fort Nashborough. Fort Nashborough was named after brigadier general Francis Nash, a Revolutionary War hero. In 1780, French Lick was officially renamed to Nashboro, which was in turn renamed to Nashville circa 1784. By 1800, Nashville had 345 residents, 136 of which were slaves. Nashville was incorporated in 1806 and became Tennessee’s capital in 1843. The city became a center for trade in tobacco, hemp, livestock and slaves, as well as a breeding and training ground for thoroughbred horses. Moreover, Nashville was considered one of the south’s wealthiest cities on account of its iron production. Nashville was not immune to adversity, however, as a mid-19th-century cholera epidemic took the lives of about 630 of 10,000 residents, including former president James K. Polk. About 700 free blacks in northern Nashville, and about 3,200 slaves in the city, lived in the area before the Civil War. Antebellum Nashville indeed had become a prosperous city by 1860, just prior to the war. A prized shipping port and railway center, however, Nashville became the first Confederate state capital to fall to Union forces in February 1862. The Union Army occupied the city throughout the war, and many slaves fled northward. The December 15-16, 1864 Battle of Nashville between the Union and Confederate States resulted in a Union victory and the disbanding of the Army of Tennessee. In 1872 and 1875, freedmen David Jones and Jo Reed were lynched in Nashville. Reed escaped, however, as the rope from which he had been hanged over a suspension bridge had broken. Cholera struck Nashville again in 1873. Suspected of assaulting two white sisters, brothers Ephraim and Henry Grizzard were lynched in early-1892. In 1893, the magazine Confederate Veteran began publication, and in 1894 the United Daughters of the Confederacy first organized. The Parthenon, an Athens Parthenon replica, was built in 1897. Founded on November 28, 1925 by George D. Hay, the Grand Ole Opry started out as a one-hour radio “barn dance” on WSM radio. Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack opened at the corner of Jefferson Street and 28th Avenue in 1945. On September 14, 1946, at a time when recording studios started emerging, Hank Williams visited the city and auditioned for the Grand Ole Opry, but was rejected. Six years later, Williams moved to Nashville and shared a house with singer Ray Price, who left soon thereafter due to Williams’ alcoholism. The musical style Nashville Sound had become popular by the late-1950s. Elvis Presley made his first recordings for RCA in Nashville circa January 10, 1956. One of the 20-century’s most influential vocalists, Patsy Cline moved to Music City in 1958 and became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. In 1964, Dolly Parton moved to Nashville, where she found immediate success as a songwriter alongside her uncle and songwriting partner Bill Owens. A destination for jazz and blues musicians, Jefferson Street was split by the federal government’s Interstate 40 in the late 1960s, a time when Johnny Cash moved to the city from Memphis. Jimmie Rodgers, regarded as the father of Country Music, was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame circa 1970 alongside Hank Williams, Pee Wee King, Redd Stewart, Cindy Walker, Gene Autry, Johnny Bond and Bob Wills. The Tennessee Oilers played their first game at Vanderbilt Stadium in 1998, the same year the Nashville Predators were founded. A year later, Nissan Stadium opened, and the Oilers changed their name to the Tennessee Titans.
Tennessee’s capital and most populous city, Nashville is home to around 715,00 “Nashvillians”. Nashville is about 300 miles southwest of country music’s birthplace, Bristol, Tennessee. Music City’s skyline consists of 38 skyscrapers at 300 feet or higher. Under construction, Paramount Tower is slated to be Nashville’s tallest building at 750 feet (60 stories) by 2027. Probably the city’s most recognizable building is the AT&T Building, locally dubbed the “Batman Building” due to its resemblance of said comic book character. Several notable mansions are found throughout the Nashville area. These estates include the aforementioned Hermitage (Andrew Jackson’s – American general, 7th US President), country music singer Barbara Mandrell’s Fontanel Mansion and plantation owners Adelicia and Joseph Acklen’s Belmont Mansion. Established in 1873 and presently enrolling around 13,000 students, Vanderbilt University is found on the city’s southwest side. Defined by a pleasant, humid subtropical climate, Nashville’s high temperatures average around 90 ℉ in July, and 47 ℉ in January. Tree leaves do fall in Nashville, with mid-October through mid-November usually the best time for Fall foliage. Snowfall is possible in winter months, though typically is not heavy. Additional points of interest include Tennessee Tower Plaza, Lower Broadway (“Lower Broad” – honky tonk bars), Printer’s Alley (historic, cobblestone, printing industry alleyway – live music venues, nightclubs, bars), RCA Studio B (birthplace of “Nashville sound” background vocals / strings – built 1957) and Tennessee State Capitol. Local foods include meat and three (pick 1 meat, add 3-6 sides), hot chicken, steak, barbecue (pulled pork, glazed ribs, etc.), mac ‘n cheese, spicy beans, coleslaw, hamburgers, fish and chips, biscuits and chocolate. Honky tonk drinks typically involve whiskey, tequila, bourbon or vodka, while craft breweries are found throughout the city.
