But we didnt realize quite how committed it is to creating your working environment. According to the brand, they use an enhanced fresh air conditioning system, which pumps a high amount of oxygen into the room and freshening up your little grey cells.

<![CDATA[You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view.

In Dubai money still seems to trump religion and culture. The teeny tiny sliver of a country is a mere desert road trip from Saudi Arabia and Oman, and just an abra jaunt from Iran and Iraq. But Dubai is more green zone than red zone. Dubai's like Macau without the gambling. Disneyworld and Kings Dominion by the Arabian Sea. And again, the Las Vegas of the Middle East. It's also a great place to find yourself slinging back shots with a Sheik -- indoors that is.

Milwaukee: The Iron Horse Hotel is More Affordable Than We Thought

juliana — 2007-11-15T10:12:41-05:00

In profiling the upcoming Iron Horse Hotel, which is a business traveler/hog enthusiast's dream hotel, we mentioned that because of the modern luxury decor and amenities rooms would probably be priced at around $300.

However, a hotel rep emailed us to say that wasn't so. Rooms would actually range from $179 to $319. Yay! It's totally affordable. Now we just need a reason to visit Milwaukee. Any ideas?
