We now present you with our VIP Hotel Reviewer Series in which we hand-pick experts in the travel and media worlds and beyond to tell us what are their favorite hotels and why. Once a week, we'll feature a hotel review from said VIPs about their favorite leisure or business hotels. Pay attention: These VIPs are experts at what they do and they don't mess around when it comes to their hotels.

Bravely kicking of the series is Brad John, the co-captain (i.e. founder) of Flight 001, the nifty boutique travel store found in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dubai. Enjoy.

I've spent the last 30 years traveling for both work and pleasure. I love hotels. I love staying in hotels. I want to live in a hotel someday. It's just the perfect thing for me. I've stayed in everything from mud huts to the five-stars and I like both.

My favorite place to stay is in Palm Springs, California at a local motel called the Caliente Tropics. I go at least 4 times a year, usually 6 or 7, and I tie it in with visiting our West Coast stores; that is my vacation.
