Rose and I are still on a giddy wine buzz after staying at Seattle’s glorious downtown Hotel Vintage Park! My friends have been gushing about Kimpton boutique and luxury hotels, so we were keen to stay in a Seattle one. Vintage Park suited our aesthetic perfectly: red rum decor, eco and pet friendly rooms, free wine tastings in the fireplace-lit lobby.

From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royals — and even got upgraded to a queen suite. The staff genuinely enjoyed meeting guests and sharing their favorite spots in Seattle. (For those who requested it, here’s a close-up of Rose’s handmade fox hat. She only works with vintage furs.)

As a travel TV host and writer, I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels. The tiniest details can transform a stay. Plenty of mirrors and proper lighting for makeup — check. Ridiculously comfortable beds — check.

I was so happy that Hotel Vintage Park had wireless internet; how else could I Twitter and Skype with Sebastiano? Each room is named after a Washington winery that donates art for the room (so that each has an individual look) and officiates wine tastings.

The intricately folded toilet paper made us giggle. And I was pleased because the shower had several pulse settings (yes, these things matter!)

Kimpton hotels are legendary for their playful personality. Just look at the animal-print robes, which match our leopard prints.

We adore the Hotel Vintage Park concierge, Louis (who immediately added me on Twitter and recommended a burlesque carnival night). He sent up a basket of rose wine, chocolate chip cookies, truffles, and a DVD about Washington winemakers. I wished I had brought Basil Farrow along to make furry friends…

That afternoon, Phil of Naches Heights Vineyard held a wine tasting. It was a pleasure to chat with the other guests, and I was fascinated to learn about the wine-maker’s biodynamic growing principles.

Rose and I can’t wait to return and say hello to Louis! Boutique hotels have much more flair and individual service than the same-old Sheraton or Marriott. If you’re stopping in Seattle, we encourage you to check out Kimpton’s Hotel Vintage Park. (Rooms start at $145 a night; we were hosted as media for our stay.)

What do you look for in a hotel? Which ones are your favorites?

A new day, a new video! La Carmina interviews Andy Six, vocalist of rock band Black Veil Brides, at Studio Seven in Seattle on November 20th. Includes live footage from the performance, stage-diving and songs such as Knives and Pens.

Since Black Veil Brides has a very Visual look, I asked Andy Six about whether he’s familiar with J-rock music and culture. Surprisingly, he “knows nothing” about it, but is eager to learn more. I also interviewed Andy about the band’s message of inclusiveness, and how he may hit you on the head with a water bottle.

Want to know where Andy got his clothes? Or what he thinks of BVB haters? Come see the video above and on YouTube.

Are you surprised that Black Veil Brides is not influenced by Japanese Visual Kei rock? Have you seen the band perform? What did you think?

Coming up next: videos and interviews The Birthday Massacre, Dommin and Aural Vampire. Be a doll and please subscribe to my YouTube to see the rest!
