The Annual Guardian Angels – Motorcycle Police Officer’s Association Rally took place in Benidorm this year from 20 to 22 November on the occasion of its 10th Anniversary. Four-hundred people attended the event and enjoyed a weekend of companionship and the friendly atmosphere that was present throughout their stay. Hotelopia was in charge of lodging and we thank the Association for entrusting us with this task. Congratulations on your 10-year Anniversary!
Hotelopia has also made available to the Guardian Angels an exclusive website with which they can make hotel reservations in any of our destinations at special prices, for both personal and professional reservations.

The destination of the month in Hotelopia is like a city taken out of a fairy tale: Prague. Its bridges, the river and its colourful houses that contrast with its emblematic dark stone buildings give it a mystical, imaginary splendour. This dreamy sensation is magnified by its Art Nouveau, which became very popular in the capital of the Czech Republic in the 20th century. The Municipal House, the Hotel Europa or the first Exhibition Grounds are a reflection of the extent to which this artistic style has influenced Prague’s architecture. The force of its Art Deco or Modernism (as it’s called in Spain) however, can be felt in many other parts of the city, not only at these prominent buildings. When you are meandering through the streets of Prague, remember to look up. You might find a painted female figure smiling down at you from the top of a house. Maybe, when you open the door to a shop, you’ll find that the iron door handle is in the shape of a climbing plant. Inside a café, a mirror could reflect your image surrounded by a wooden frame showing the craftsmanship of virtuosity. Even in the hotel, its winding staircase will add a touch of magic to your stay. When in Prague, visitors do not need to look for Art Nouveau; they will find it all around them, accompanying them during their stay.

It’s Monday again?! Where did Saturday and Sunday go to?  Why haven’t I had more time to rest? When will I? In the last months of the year, the days always seem to drag on in an endless cycle of cold weather, dark afternoons and loads of work. Why is everyone in such a rush and why is the deadline always asap?

I guess complaining doesn’t help, but that doesn’t mean that inside us there isn’t a voice that is asking for a little break, a 2-day getaway, that would do us a world of good.  Spa hotels are perfect for a weekend getaway. Thermal baths and therapies that will help us to disconnect from a daily routine that is satisfactory, although now and again it’s good to stop and put things into perspective. This type of hotel focuses on our physical and mental well-being. We feel better, more creative and renewed. We listen to ourselves and discover many new things. We rest and we recover energy. We give ourselves a weekend gift. Why? Because we deserve it, or simply because we feel like it.

Latin America boasts unbelievably beautiful scenery, from tropical beaches to some of the peaks of the world.  What’s more, this month, Hotelopia brings you a Latin American extravaganza, as we’ve sourced some of the very best hotels right through the continent.  So check out our mini-country guides and pick a destination and book a break.  What the heck, make it a gap year of it and see the lot!

Panama
Much overlooked by those embarking on the LatinAmerican trail, there are many hidden gems to be found here aside from the Panama Canal. Much of its coastline remains unspoilt and its mountains and rainforests are rich with a wealth of flora and fauna.

Venezuela
Venezuela is home to the longest stretch of Caribbean coastline which makes this a great reason to book a break here. Explore the tropical Canaima national park which is home to the magnificent Angel Falls. What’s more, Caracas is a lively, colourful and cosmopolitan city, not to mention home to controversial president Hugo Chavez.

Ecuador
This multi-ethnic masterpiece allows you to explore the depths of the Amazon Basin to the heights of the Andean volcanoes. The cities Cuenca and Quito are now designated World Heritage sites while the country is also home to the Galapagos Islands, one of the world’s greatest nature reserves.

Caribbean Islands
Get guaranteed fantastic weather in possibly Europe’s favourite winter destination. Find your own piece of paradise in islands including: Aruba, Tobago, Grenada, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, Curacao, and Martinique.
Peru
Home to Machu Picchu, one of the new wonders of the world, see this amazing phenomenon before the government threatens to restrict access. With its fascinating history of Inca empires and Spanish conquistadors, this country is a must-see for those hitting the Latin American trail.

Bolivia
Take a deep breath now, since getting to the capital La Paz, may just require extra oxygen. This is the highest capital city in the world and why travellers head to explore this space which is as atmospherically challenging as it is indigenously varied.

Brazil
Famed for soccer, music, carnivals, and captivating capoeira dancing, Brazilians certainly know how to enjoy the finer things in life. While everyone knows Rio de Janerio, the country’s colourful capital, get out and explore other areas including Ouro Prêto or Olinda.

Chile
There are few places in the world where you can either sizzle or freeze to the extent that can be experienced in Chile. From the volcanic peaks to the neighbouring Antarctic, Chile is a land of massive extremes. What’s more, it’s one of the most fascinating and diverse countries on the continent.

Argentina
Creators of the tango and possibly the greatest tasting steaks on the planet, Argentina is a Latin paradise of cultural extremes. Soak up the fun in Buenos Aires, and then breathe in the fresh air in the wilds of Patagonia.

Uruguay
While Montevideo pulls in the crowds, travellers are finally cottoning onto the fact that Uruguay is often overlooked on the South American trail. Check out hidden highlights including Maldonado and Punta del Diablo.

So what are you waiting for? Kids are back at school, the resorts have emptied and the favourite European cities are getting lively for the Autumn.

Availability on discounted hotels is limited.  Now book before the summer ends!

As September sets in, employers are warned about the potential “end of summer hangover” which affects thousands of workers returning to work.

Some one in three workers dread settling back into the daily grind, according to a survey carried out by the organisation Investors in People.

The change of season, and fewer daylight hours are just one factor contributing to the post summer depression.  Employees are reported to be less motivated and dread a stockpile of work and emails.

Investors in People are suggesting that employers ease workers gently back into the working day, starting by simply welcoming them back.   It’s amazing the amount of workplaces that don’t actually do this.  Employers, take note!

They also recommend a mini-reintroduction into the workplace to help prevent a post vacational productivity gap which could impact on the economy.

However, in the current economic climate it seems anyone returning to work is lucky enough to have a job.  And instead of moaning about it, the best way of getting over post-holiday depression is to book another break and have something to look forward to.

Check out Hotelopia’s autumn offers on city breaks.  The summer may (almost) be over, but this the perfect time to visit some of Europe’s top cities for less.  Temperatures have cooled, kids have gone back to school, and hotel prices are cheaper.  So what are you waiting for?

This month, we’ve added a couple of hotel breaks with a difference.  So if you’re struggling to choose from our 25,000 hotels, then here are a couple of options to narrow down the choice.

See the traditional side of Portugal away from the Algarve and book a break into a living history hotel with Pousadas de Portugal.  Hotels are set in wild and rural locations or within restored castles, monasteries or fortresses that have been brought back to life as historical Pousadas.

Also, Hotelopia becomes Boatelopia for a limited time only, as we’ve secured some specials on Egyptian Nile cruises.

If you’re visiting Egypt, then compliment your stay with a cruise along the River Nile. The boats are fully equipped with all mod-cons and take in all the top sights including to the High Dam, the unfinished Obelisque and Philae temples and the Valley of Kings and Queens.

Search now and see what options are available, including routes, cruise dates, and how to book.
