Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.

In this episode, Hotel Maven Amanda K visits Latvia...in her mind. Enjoy.

In the Latvian capital of Riga, a very special Christmas market will run right through until December 27. Given my firm adoration of European Christmas markets, then a good choice will be a grand hotel situated right next to the markets, like the Grand Palace Hotel Riga.

As well as winning awards as Latvia's leading hotel from 2003 to 2007, the Grand Palace Hotel in Riga has just the right charm to make it a great Christmas destination. I quite like the sound of the Winter Saver Package they're currently offering which includes three nights' accommodation in a deluxe room, airport transfers, a three-course dinner in their restaurant, and for the perfect Christmas spirit, hot mulled wine from the Pils Bar--this package will cost US$630. Perhaps that'll be my Christmas present for myself.

A trusted Belgian source tells us that when Bill Clinton heads to the EU capital he heads straight to the Conrad Brussels. Why does Bubba heart the Conrad?

Maybe it is the Lamborghini's out front, maybe it is the "talent" lurking in the concierge department, or maybe it is just the big rooms and comfy beds.

One recent reviewer might offer some clues to the Bill's Conrad fetish:

I enjoyed the very spacious room, with a great view of the city.
Room service of is very prompt when attending to your orders, and the food is delicious.

Big rooms, prompt food, tasty grub--now if only this place had a cigar bar...
