Hotel Bairro Alto in Lisbon


Hotel Bairro Alto in Lisbon homepage

it always interests me that hotel owners will spend a fortune on fitting out and god knows what else and yet fail to launch a website on time! Yet the website is cheap and should be doing its work well before your first visitors arrive. It should be selling the hotel, getting search engine position, supporting the PR.

In the case of this hotel, Hotel Sezz in Paris and Hotel Cram, only a page or two has been completed before launch. Strange priorities!

flash sites are so 2004! In 2005 design hotels are using website sound to distinguish themselves. Both East Hotel in Hamburg and Puro Hotel Urbano in Palma have their own radio stations running on their website. Problem for both is coming out from under Hotel Costes and their ownership of this cultural space

Rival Hotel in Stockholm

what you dont see is the flashing images which dont link and tinkling music which doesnt seem to communicate very much to me.

Hotel Tamara in Turkey


Hotel Tamara - inside page

Hotel Tamara
with CSS design all the rage in the web design field - travel website still resort to tables and flash for their effects. Nice to see a small hotel in unfashionable Turkey to show that it is possible to create a hotel website with CSS. Not entirely successful even if the overall effect is slick.

Queensberry Hotel in Bath

very elegant design and untypical placing of images and careful navigation makes this a highly successful positioning for what is otherwise by the sight of it, less special
