Top 10 Most Expensive Hotel Suites

Number 1 — Villa Cupola
Nightly Rate: $29,254.96
Hotel: Westin Excelsior, Rome
Perks: Pre-arrival, guests provide their preferences in flowers and cigars for custom arrangements and post-dinner relaxing. A stay begins with a welcome massage in the privacy of the suite, which features Italian frescoes, stained glass windows, a private kitchen and wine cabinet with over 150 wines to choose from. There’s a walnut-paneled library, a fitness area and Jacuzzi with vaulted ceilings, a private cinema with surround sound and almost 2,000 feet of balcony space, including a sun deck, overlooking the Via Veneto district.

So be sure to keep a cigar preference handy. No telling when someone’s going to need this information from you. Mine’s a Cohiba Siglo II Petit Corona (in case anyone asks).

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
