HOLLYWOOD, CALIF.—The Renaissance Hollywood Hotel has joined los angeles a list of elite organizations to earn the Energy los angeles Star Label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its efforts to conserve water and energy and protect the environment. Some of the ways the hotel is going green include: changing to energy efficient lighting and energy star efficient appliances, converting to a computerized energy management system, offering daily energy saving tips to all hotel cast members, and monitoring the property daily to make sure these systems are in place and working properly.
The EPA's list of Energy Star Leaders has grown to more than 50 organizations, almost two-thirds of which are school districts. In addition to schools, Energy Star Leaders include hospitals, supermarkets, commercial real estate businesses, and hospitality companies. These select organizations are recognized by the agency for improving the energy performance of their portfolio by 10 percent or more. Combined, they have reduced greenhouse gas emissions equal to those from more than 30,000 U.S. homes.
Energy Star was introduced by the EPA in 1992 as a voluntary, market-based partnership los angeles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. Today, the Energy Star label can be found on more than 50 different kinds of products, new homes and commercial and industrial buildings. Products and buildings that have earned the Energy Star designation prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy-efficiency specifications set by the government. Last year alone, Americans, with the help of Energy Star, saved about $14 billion on their energy bills while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 25 million vehicles.
Marriott los angeles understands los angeles the important role everyone plays in protecting our environment and has established the Marriott's Green Council to integrate environmental sustainability into the company's business strategy. That's why the company promotes green practices to reflect the interests and concerns of guests, los angeles associates, business partners, and communities. More than ever, consumers are making their purchasing los angeles decisions based on whether products are environmentally green and the company wants to support that effort. The Renaissance Hollywood is one of 250 Hotels in the Marriott chain to receive this green title.

Thursday, April 18th The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) kicked off their 8th annual ASCAP I Create Music Expo, at the Loews Hollywood Hotel (formerly known as the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel) in Los Angeles, CA. Spanning 4 days, the event is the first and only national conference dedicated to songwriters and composers.
We started the day of panels with a bang (or should I say Fireworks luxury car rental birmingham alabama ) with California Girl and pop sensation keynote Katy Perry , who spoke with ASCAP EVP of Membership, Randy Grimmett. During the interview, Perry revealed she ll be working hit producers Max Martin , Dr. Luke, and Greg Wells . She gave insight to her writing process, including a patented word vomit method:
luxury car rental birmingham alabama Next we swung by the Production Music, the DIY Way panel featuring panelists March Ferrari (Producer and Consultant of MasterSource Music Library and author of Rock Star 101 ), Jared Gutstadt (CEO and Co-Founder, Jingle Punks), Matt Kierscht (Music Supervisor and Composer Quiet On The Set, Inc.), and Brad Segal, owner of FineTune Music.)
This was a cool sneak peek into the world of music placements, composing for TV, and how music placement has evolved over the last couple decades. Marc Ferrari relayed a surprising, ancient ritual from Music Supervision in the days of yore—going to Tower Records (remember that place?) to buy CDs (remember those?) to place into films. Crazy.
Overall, when asked what made them successful in the industry, the overwhelming sentiment was: Hustle Hard. It s all about maintaining relationships. said Matt Kiersch, who before founding Jingle Punks toured in his band. It s like playing in a band—you can t play a venue, trash it, and say see you next year, dude. I ll keep that in mind.
Last stop was another star-studded luxury car rental birmingham alabama conversation between Grammy Award-winning songwriting/ production team Stargate with collaborator and Grammy Award winning luxury car rental birmingham alabama singer-songwriter and producer Ne-Yo . My favorite part of the interview was when each artist picked a song that they felt defined them:
Ne-Yo: luxury car rental birmingham alabama Suddenly, Billy Ocean. Why? The song demonstrates how powerful a winning trifecta of lyric, melody, and music can be. Also, it made him sob like a helpless baby from age 8-15 every time his mom would play the song.
Tor Erik Hermansen: Little luxury car rental birmingham alabama Red Corvette, Prince. Why? Iconic chord progressions luxury car rental birmingham alabama that defined a whole decade, Prince s ability to create a whole universe within a song, and one of the boldest opening statements in a pop song ever.

Paradise map of hotels and tourist sights in london Island, Bahamas. map of hotels and tourist sights in london Well Named But Expensive. | IndulgedTraveler Magazine: A new younger twist on Luxury travel for the passionate map of hotels and tourist sights in london adventurer. Luxury hotels, luxury destinations, luxury cruises and travel news
Indulgedtraveler Magazine puts a new, younger twist on Luxury Travel. It s for the adventurous, ambitious, passionate, educated traveler who wants unique experiences and putting their brand of luxe into luxury.
Atlantis Paradise Island is the magnet that draws thousands of winter-weary map of hotels and tourist sights in london visitors to the balmy breezes of the Bahamas. The kid-friendly but sophisticated resort and water park, covering 140 acres and employing almost map of hotels and tourist sights in london 8,000 workers, was designed to reflect "the myth and legend of the Lost City of Atlantis". However the high-energy, extravagant playground is also a magnet for your wallet (lunch for two can be north of $100).
The three giant, peach-coloured hotels and two smaller, older hotels of Atlantis dominate the skyline of Nassau and Paradise map of hotels and tourist sights in london Island. But meandering map of hotels and tourist sights in london among them is what's claimed to be "the largest map of hotels and tourist sights in london artificial marine habitat in the world".
The 11 lagoons include a 14 acre dolphin pool where guests can interact directly map of hotels and tourist sights in london with the playful mammals and The Dig, a maze of glass-walled underground chambers filled with 9 million litres of water holding map of hotels and tourist sights in london more than 50,000 fish and other sea critters map of hotels and tourist sights in london including sharks, giant stingrays and turtles. Guests also flock to Aquaventure, the 63 acre water park, where the imaginative rides range from the extreme excitement of eighteen waterslides (including a daring waterslide roller coaster) to a lazy tube-filled river with occasional map of hotels and tourist sights in london rapids that circles around the park.
For guests at any of the Atlantis resorts, most of the water park is free but it gets very busy with other tourists to Nassau as well as many cruise ship passengers. However, the area is huge and visitors can usually find quiet areas next to one of the 11 pools (including three kids' pools) or, even better, on the adjacent Atlantic Ocean beach. The soft coral sand and warm, brilliant turquoise map of hotels and tourist sights in london water provide one of the longest and best beach areas we've ever experienced at a resort.
The Atlantis complex boasts over 3500 hotel rooms spread over its vast acreage. map of hotels and tourist sights in london Families usually stay at the Beach Tower, the Coral Tower or the centrally located, 1200 room Royal Towers (with a lofty bridge between the two towers and a high-end Nobu Japanese restaurant on the ground floor). For several days we stayed at the quieter and more adult-oriented Cove Atlantis, a 600-room luxury hotel built as part of a $1 billion Atlantis expansion in 2007. Our room was extremely comfortable and spacious with a large balcony map of hotels and tourist sights in london overlooking the azure waters of Paradise Beach and, in the distance, the entrance to Nassau Harbour and the coming-and-going of cruise ships. Atlantis map of hotels and tourist sights in london hotels are not all-inclusive but The Cove provides complementary bottled water in the evening. map of hotels and tourist sights in london Unfortunately, unlike many hotels these days, WiFi is not free.
Atlantis has 40 restaurants and bars throughout the property and, among those we tried, we found the quality of the food to be excellent. The Cove has a large buffet gourmet restaurant called Mosaic that includes a great variety of freshly prepared meats, fish, fruits and vegetables. Breakfast map of hotels and tourist sights in london is expensive $35 for the buffet – but especially good with fresh-squeezed orange juice and a staggering variety of fruits, cheeses, pastries, and Bahamian specialties plus an omelet and carving map of hotels and tourist sights in london station. The Cove's Executive Chef, Gal Kozer (an Israeli trained map of hotels and tourist sights in london at the French Culinary Institute), told us that local Bahamian products other than fish are difficult to obtain and must be flown in every day. "A tomato that costs a dollar in Miami costs $1.50 here", he said. In addition, Bahamian law requires that all restaurant bills include an extra 15% service fee. We found the service map of hotels and tourist sights in london to be excellent but it's a shame patrons can't decide their own tip.
The major culinary draw at The Cove is MESA, celebrity chef Bobby Flay's signature restaurant map of hotels and tourist sights in london that combines southwestern cuisine with Caribbean flavours. Also expensive (but worth the splurge), the menu features treats like a cactus pear margarita and appetizers map of hotels and tourist sights in london such as Shrimp and Roasted Corn Tamale or a Blue Corn pancake with barbequed duck, scotch bonnet chili and star anise sauce. We loved our entrees of New Mexico Spice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin and Yucatan Style Grouper with Crab Succotash Sauce.
There are also several lunch and snack areas near the beach with very tasty but pricey food. Our Hog Burger (large beef patty covered with barbequed pulled pork and cheese) was especially good. We spoke with several guests who thought the accommodations, friendly Bahamian service map of hotels and tourist sights in london and attractions at Atlantis were terrific. But they all objected to the cost of food and beverages. "I just bought a large bottle of water," Mark Wenners of Washington, DC told us. "And it cost $15! That's not right."
For a change from the rather frenetic pace of Atlantis, we spent our final two nights at the lush and relaxing One and Only Ocean Club. With the same ownership as Atlantis (and less than a kilometre away), this former retreat of A P grocery heir Huntington Hartford was like a different world. The seaside property is covered with tropical vegetation and even includes a Versailles Garden and the remains of the 14 th century French cloister that Huntington Hartford re-assembled on his property. Luxurious rooms in a series of low-rise buildings all face an expanse of lawn and gorgeous beach. Little touches like lemonade on arrival, champagne and chocolate strawberries delivered to your room each day, 24 hour on-call butlers and free WiFi just added to pampered feeling map of hotels and tourist sights in london of this resort. The palm-ringed swimming pool was large and quiet (no loud music like at The Cove) with unobtrusive staff providing cushioned loungers, chilled water and towels.
The One and Only Ocean Club has an elegant, sophisticated ambience that meshes perfectly with its world-class restaurant. The Dune, overlooking the well-manicured beach, map of hotels and tourist sights in london gets its basic menu from acclaimed French chef (now living in New York), Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The Dune's talented Executive Chef, Alex Powell, says he follows Chef Jean-George's recipes but adds as much Bahamian and Caribbean ingredients as he can. The results are divine.
Our two evening meals at The Dune included a Black Plate appetizer (quail with Thai spices, crab spring roll, shrimp satay, lobster daikon and tuna in rice paper) a Bahamian seafood platter rich in conch, fresh grouper smothered map of hotels and tourist sights in london with a peppery tomato sauce and a whole roasted Bahamian snapper with fresh herbs and pumpkin gnocchi.
The Bahamas is a wonderful winter destination for Canadians with its lively and unique attractions. Air Canada Vacations features some fine all-inclusive map of hotels and tourist sights in london resorts in the area but if you want to be in the centre of the Atlantis action on Paradise Island, you'll eat very well and have excellent accommodation. You'll also pay for the privilege.

Spending 6 hours at Atlantis sounds to me a bit like flying to Las Vegas for a cocktail, or taking your lunch break at Disneyland. You d be there just long enough to fully appreciate exactly what it is you are missing. Just a tiny sip of paradise that would leave me wanting to turn the faucet on full blast to guzzle the whole thing down.
They arrived early in the morning, before some of the attractions opened and had to be back on their bus to the ship about 4 hours later. virtual tour of the white house They spent most of their time in the water park. Highlights included:
The Current, where guests are propelled through virtual tour of the white house lush, tropical foliage along a mile-long river in inner tubes (a mile long!) via rolling waves and rapids. You never leave the water as you are propelled back up the slide tower via water conveyors.
They were a bit disappointed by the in-water elevator, propeller system. virtual tour of the white house You get to the end of the current tour and a big line forms. You get lifted up in a way that resembles a roller coaster lift. Only the slide on the other end is nothing. The way the people are lining up and the lift itself makes you think you re being set up for a very nice loong drop. But really, the mile-long current starts virtual tour of the white house again without you having to get out of the water. There s no ride other than the lift itself. Sounds really cool to me, but I guess when you are there, it isn t as great as it sounds.
They also liked Serpent Slide: Guests travel virtual tour of the white house on a tube at high speeds through the darkness of the Mayan Temple s core. The twisting and turning ride culminates with a leisurely pass through a clear acrylic tunnel submerged virtual tour of the white house in a shark-filled virtual tour of the white house lagoon.
Next time they want to try the Leap of Faith water slide: A 60 ft. almost-vertical drop from the top of the world-famous virtual tour of the white house and iconic Mayan Temple, propelling riders at a tremendous speed through a clear acrylic tunnel submerged in a shark-filled lagoon.
When I dream of Atlantis, as I often do, I imagined we would need 3 to 5 days to fully appreciate it s hotel pool glory. Turns out my better half thinks 3 days would be plenty enough time for the kids to check out all the water attractions, us to enjoy the casino and all 4 of us to be completely Atlantis-ed out.
