Maenam is a glamorous little Thai restaurant in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighborhood. In Southern California we’ve got some of the best Thai food outside of Thailand. But we’ve got nothing quite like this.

The Shangri-La Vancouver celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, yet this hotel still feels brand-new.

I love all the clever Craftsman details at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel. BUT don't be fooled. Disneyland's flagship hotel doesn't live up to the hype. For the price, I expected better. Disneyland desperately needs a real luxury hotel option. Perhaps the Grand Californian is too big for its own good, or maybe too entwined with the park. They don't even try. I guess they don't have to. It's simply a matter of supply and demand, and they'll rake in the cash no matter what. 58 4
