...Family Value. The Smiley family has run Mohonk Mountain House in New York's Hudson Valley for 140 years, so it's no surprise they've perfected the art of hospitality, welcoming guests with touches like afternoon tea and homemade cookies every day. To commemorate the hotel's founding, the chef is re-introducing the first dishes served in the dining room, like codfish cakes, German potato pancakes, and cinnamon-raisin bread pudding. With its old-fashioned sitting room, complete with fireplace and comfy reading chairs (and no TVs blaring to disrupt your reverie), the hotel is famous...
...Season Aspen. Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colo., is celebrating 120 years of bedding guests. Built at the height of Colorado's silver rush by Jerome B.

...Authorities in East Asia - which has suffered heavily in recent years from outbreaks of various infectious diseases - have clamped down early and quickly on suspected cases of swine flu. Just over a week ago, Hong Kong released some 300 people stuck at a business hotel after cooping them up in a weeklong quarantine when one guest was found to be carrying the virus. The city, one of Asia's busiest business and travel hubs, was ravaged by the 2003 SARS epidemic as well as subsequent scares over avian flu. As a consequence, its counterpandemic procedures are among the most draconian...
