Bullring Boutique Hotel in Mexico

(This from my friends at Urban Daddy)

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who run from the bulls, and those who stay overnight in the ring.

Once upon a time in Mexico, the Plaza de Toros San Pedro, North America's largest bullring, hosted epic bullfighting matches in colonial center Zacatecas. Centuries later, the toros have departed but the theater is alive and well—and, as all obsolete architectural landmarks should be, renovated into a boutique hotel.

The five-star result, the Quinta Real Zacatecas, is a modern torero's paradise. The still-intact arena El Ruedo serves as a gorgeous central patio, with cobblestones and fountains overlaying the hoof-stomped floor where the bulls once ran. Encircling the ring are 49 spacious suites which, with vaulted ceilings and antique furnishings, are as Old World extravagant as...well, bullfighting itself.

After a day exploring the winding streets and cable-car lined hills of the mining village, head ringside for the best meal in town: The former VIP stands now hold the three-story La Plaza restaurant, featuring haute Mexican cuisine and picture windows overlooking the ring. And since any self-respecting bullfighter knows how to get a little down-and-dirty, end the night at the Botarel Bar, built into the animal hold—nothing says atmosphere like low ceilings, exposed brick and bullpen-close quarters.

Keep the red flag at the ready.

Bearskin Airlines offers direct flights from KW

Here's some great news, Bearskin Airlines commenced non-stop service today (Oct 2) between the Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF) and Ottawa (YOW). The schedule includes three flights each business day plus a Sunday service.

Why is this good news? How about the fact that is takes less time to fly between KW and Ottawa than it takes to drive to Toronto’s Pearson Airport from the Waterloo Region. According to Bearskin, up to four hours can be saved on a round trip flight by using the new non-stop service.

Participation in the Aeroplan Frequent Flyer Program and primetime morning and evening service are geared to serving the business community who commute regularly. It is expected that the frequent business traveller will embrace the convenience of the Region of Waterloo International Airport. This service is expected to be particularly convenient for those in the hightech and financial industry with offices in Ottawa and Waterloo Region.

Founded in 1963, Bearskin Airlines is one of Canada’s oldest privately owned commuter airlines. With the addition of service to the Region of Waterloo International Airport the company will offer over 100 scheduled flights daily to 17 destinations from Flin Flon and Winnipeg in the west to Ottawa in the east. Waterloo Region will be the southernmost destination served.
