The Glebe Hotel (1862). One of the very oldest pubs in the Inner West. Originally the Australian Youth Hotel (an odd name, but it referred to the "youth" of the then British colony at the time). You can still see the ghost sign right top storey. Always considered a rough house hotel, the joint reached its nadir in the late 1960's when only a brothel operated on the top floor. Reopened as a pub in the mid-1980's. Given a complete restoration and interior renovation (although the original front bar remains in place) in 2018-19 just before the Pandemic and the name changed to avoid any confusion with youth hostels. Heritage Listed. Glebe.

Our road trip through New Mexico, part two, Carlsbad Caverns, the historic luxury hotel The Lodge in the Sacramento Mountains town of Cloudcroft (Judy Garland and Clark Gable carved their names above the fourth banister in a small sitting room at the top of the tower back in 1940).

My husband and I decided to go for a two week road trip for vacation. This is the hotel we stayed at the other night. All I could think was.... Damn this is like a freakin' Jack Daniels fanfic.

BTW this is the El Rancho Hotel in Gallup, New Mexico. Built in the 1940s. It's right on Route 66 and was built to host celebrities as they filmed in the nearby desert. The rooms are named after different actors and actresses as well.

Day 4: Yosemite Valley Loop Trail Pt 2, Ahwahnee Hotel

Next stop on trail is the historic Ahwahnee Hotel built in 1927, and one of the inspirations for the Overlook Hotel from 'The Shining' (1980). Don't those elevator doors look familiar?

Also note the Royal Arch Cascade in action over the granite above the hotel. Another spot that doesn't often have flowing water this time of year.

Back in August, my mother, my sister and I did a three day roadtrip to Lake Placid in New York State, where the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics were hosted. We hiked and visited Adirondack natural wonders the two first days, but because my health was starting to fail me on the second day, we kept the third one for visiting the Downton Abbey costume exhibition at the Lake Placid Center for the arts.

On our way to the exhibit, we passed by the Pines Inn, formerly known as the St. Moritz Hotel, a hotel built in 1907. I had wanted to stay at that hotel, but my mom refused, saying it was in poor shape and looked haunted on the hotel booking sites (she wasn't wrong, but I love that stuff, as you know). I still insisted for us to at least visit it, and we sure did NOT regret it. We stumbled upon one of the concierges (or new owners, correct me if you see this!), and he loved my outfit so much that he gave us a tour of the hotel, including in areas closed to guests. He told us that Albert Einstein and the Kennedys had been guests at the hotel, that there was n*de sunbathing on the roof in the 1930s and that a lot of the furniture was original. Sadly, after the 80s, the hotel slowly went into decrepitude and abandonment, and many things got stolen and damaged. The new owners are currently working hard to restore the hotel, and it's indeed a lot of work.
