Hotel Value for Frequent Guests

The curious aspect of weather temperature is you feel it, but often you can’t see it. Record breaking heat wave coming to Central Europe this week is an article I started to write on Saturday, June 22. Preparing for a 23 day trip to Europe leaving Sunday June 23 kept me from completing the piece.…
What a long relaxing trip it has been in Europe after my laptop stopped recharging power on day four of a 23 day summer trip. With only my iPhone as a social media device and camera, I decided after 11 years of relatively continuous blogging effort on Loyalty Traveler to take advantage of my situation…
Prague seems like a place where there are 3 or 4 pubs on every block of nearly every street. Any list that claims to reveal the 10 best pubs in Prague is bullshit. A tourist is looking for a cool place to hang out and drink and maybe get a bite to eat. This post…
I visited Prague, Czech Republic four times in 2017, spending about 3 weeks hanging out and walking around the city. One of the most frequent questions I was asked by people I met is “Have you been to Český Krumlov?” It seemed like an odd question to me since I looked on the map to find…
Clarion Congress Hotel České Budějovice is an example of a hotel deal that took me to a city I probably would never have planned to visit otherwise. A hotel suite bookable through Choice Privileges for 8,000 points on Friday-Saturday and 10,000 points Sunday-Thursday was 38,000 points for our Sat-Tue 4 night stay. I purchased 38,000…
Architectural color is one of the most appealing aspects of travel in the Czech Republic. On a summer Sunday late afternoon I walked streets of the historic city center of České Budějovice photographing brilliant colors seen all around. Old town České Budějovice is located at the confluence of the Vltava and Malše rivers surrounded by a somewhat circular green belt…
Waited until the morning of our departure from Wien-Vienna, Austria to U-bahn across the city and buy a cheap train ticket to České Budějovice, Czech Republic. Being a Saturday, the only bus tickets available were 8 hour trips going to Prague and then backtracking to České Budějovice 2.5 hours south of Prague. Train tickets were priced…
Vitkov Hill, Prague is the site of the Czech National Monument and a statue of Jan Žižka seated on the third largest equestrian statue in the world. Vitkov Hill separates Zizkov District Prague from Karlin District, a former industrial area of Prague that has transformed to an urban business area with a developing reputation as…
Today, I collated 29 Loyalty Traveler articles from my 22-day July 2017 trip from San Francisco to Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Prague, Pilsen, Brno, Bratislava and London. This article lists the 29 posts describing my trip planning, travel objectives, hotel reviews and city impressions. Several of the posts were slightly edited again to fix grammar errors and…
Our saying in Prague was every city block has a pub. We modified that saying for Brno, Czech Republic’s second city, to every city block has five pubs. http://brnopivovar.hotelpegas.cz/english-about-brewery/ There was no shortage of good dining and beer in Brno. http://www.akademickakavarna.cz/ This Bud is for me. And it tastes so much better than the unrelated…
