SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Feb 04, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Travelers looking for the definitive list of top hotels can now take
that list from an impartial news organization. Tours.com's
Travel-Intel examines luxury resort ratings according to the 2013
Best Hotels report released recently by U.S. News and World Report.
On the list are some surprising out of the way places now considered
among America's top ten.
Similarly, Paris, one of the world's top travel destinations, is rife
with attractions and experiences not to be missed. Travel-Intel looks
at the best of the best to do in Paris according to insiders who know
just where the city keeps its best secrets.
And for travelers seeking out ski deals this winter Travel-Intel
reveals where the least expensive (and most expensive) ski towns are
in the U.S. and Canada. Not surprisingly, Aspen takes top spot for
most expensive lodging in the U.S. for skiers this season.
For those looking to plan the party of a lifetime, Travel-Intel takes
