An update from the road... we're on our grand tour and we're in Montenegro!
This is the longest I've gone without posting on my poor neglected Cool Travel Guide. You want to know why? Drop by Grantourismo and you'll see that we've been a tad busy on our yearlong grand tour of the world, which we embarked on in February in partnership with HomeAway Holiday-Rentals. So far our trip has taken us from Melbourne via Dubai to London, Marrakech, Essaouira, Madrid, Jerez, Barcelona (pictured), Ceret, Perpignan, Paris, and now we're in Kotor in Montenegro. We're busy, but we're meeting some amazing people, having some extraordinary experiences, and we're generating some top quality content of which we're really proud: go take a look! I won't be neglecting Cool Travel Guide for much longer though... I have plans to re-launch the blog very soon, which I'll share with you shortly. In the meantime, do come and visit us at Grantourismo - even if it's just to drop by and say hello!

Grand Paragon Hotel at Century Garden, Johor Bahru
Grand Paragon Hotel 4* (N1 28.867 E103 45.700) is one of the famous hotel at Johor Bahru at the moment. It's located at the junction of Jalan Harimau and Jalan Seladang of Century Garden (Taman Abad), Johor Bahru.
We stayed here for one night on the day our company having the Annual Dinner at the Sky Lounge (26th Floor) of Grand Paragon Hotel. The room rate we had was a special discount! I only paid MYR160.00 for a room with 2 Queen bed. That was really reasonable because the published rate on their website is MYR230.00 for Standard room and MYR250.00 for Deluxe room.
The 2 Queen Bed room was spacious and so do the bathroom!
The bathroom of the room at Grand Paragon Hotel, JB.
We checked-in about 1pm, and have plenty of time to explore around the hotel area....
The main entrance. The staircase at the end is towards the Japanese Restaurant at M Floor.
The lobby area is spacious!
You will fall asleep if you relax on the sofa, because the Air-Conditional was cold...
Nice Lightning!
Japanese Restaurant at M Floor
After the Ground and M Floor, we continue to 11th Floor, the swimming pool...
The swimming pool of Grand Paragon Hotel
The swimming pool is kind of special which located outdoor and in the shape of half circle. It's not the Olympics size but it's comfort enough...
I woke up late in the next morning and I missed the breakfast! But my wife and my daughter were enjoyed the delicious breakfast very much!
Overall, we are satisfied with the 4 stars Hotel and the staffs are very friendly! It's worth to have a comfort stay at Grand Paragon Hotel, Johor Bahru.
Rated : 4.8/5

The Sky Lounge Of Grand Paragon Hotel, Johor Bahru
The Sky Lounge is situated on 26th Floor of Grand Paragon Hotel, Century Garden - Johor Bahru. The company I attached with was held the Annual Dinner in the lounge on January 2010. That gave me a chance to explore the Highest Lounge in Johor Bahru for the moment!
The entrance of Sky Lounge, Grand Paragon Hotel
The dinner started about 7pm on that day, before that...some of my colleagues already enjoy their ice cold beer in the lounge. Alcohol is serve mostly for the local or foreign company when they celebrates their Annual Dinner. Even the Wine and Liquor were serve in the house, but I'm only enjoyed the Tiger Cold Beer...:)
The beer serve in 'Tower', during the 'Happy Hour', the charges is MYR108.00 and MYR128 after 'Happy Hour'.
And the foods served on that night was pretty delicious, they had Local food, Japanese food and International food...
The foods for the night :-
The local food and fruits
I Love the Japan Sashimi on the left!
I had this Roast Lamb a lot! My favorite! :)
There were Only 3 Lovely Ladies (waitress) serve the party in such a big Lounge on the Top of the Hotel...They did it well!
The Lovely waitress of Sky Lounge
Beside the foods and drinks, there was a Nice Red Piano display on the left of the stage. The performer play some nice song during the performance...
The RED Piano in the lounge
Another advantage of the lounge is...you can take the Johor Bahru city photo from the open air balcony! Because of the height of the Hotel, the vision is from Johor bahru City till Singapore. That was nice! I will share in my next post.
As usual, our colleagues and guests arrived about 8pm. Everyone were enjoy their food very much! Following with performer on the stage and lastly...the lucky draw. The First price was a 32" Sharp LCD TV! But I didn't get it...:)
I was attracted by the lighting in the lounge while others were busy with their foods....
There was a Cigar Bar at the right side of the lounge, if you are cigar lover, you will definitely love the environment!
Overall, we were satisfied with the services provided and also the foods. The dinner party end about 12 midnight and left some colleagues and guests chit-chatting until 3am in the morning! (I'm one of them...)
I'll be back again, not for the alcohol but for the spectacular night view of Johor Bahru!

Johor Bahru Night View from Sky Lounge, Grand Paragon Hotel - Johor Bahru
When I started to shot, the sky still bright and just about getting dark...So I have to snap as many as possible before everywhere lights up!
South west from Sky Lounge, this is Jalan Tebrau and the white building on the left is Crystal Crown Hotel of Johor Bahru.
The pink building is Pelangi Plaza. And the Busy junction is between Jalan Tebrau, Jalan Kuning and Jalan Harimau.
The South East of Sky Lounge. Where you can see Selesa Hotel and City Plaza. Johor Straits is at the back and Singapore is behind the Straits.
Zoom in view...where Sembawang of Singapore is behind the Johor Straits.
Time run fast and the buildings and vehicles are lights up partially...
The traffic was heavy on that Saturday evening at Jalan Tebrau.
Very soon, all cars were lights up! And Pelangi Plaza too!
The traffic condition still bad...
Same as Sembawang, Singapore.
Look at the traffic congested at the junction above and Jalan Tebrau below...
Jalan Abiad in the middle and Jalan Serampang on the left. At the end of the road is Leisure Mall of Taman Pelangi, Johor Bahru.
All the photos above were taken (without tripod) from the outdoor balcony of Sky Lounge - Grand Paragon Hotel, Johor Bahru. I was standing there for more than 2 hours! Just cannot resist the beautiful Johor Bahru night view! Till that I heard someone calling from the lounge inside : "Hello friend!! Your beer getting Warm!" Haha! I had to step in the lounge to entertain my clients and also myself....I almost forgot it was actually my company Annual Dinner!
I will Definitely back again to shoot the Beautiful view of Johor Bahru! I will bring my tripod next time. Wanna join me?? :)
