​If you are looking for a safe and relaxing vacation spot, why not choose America’s safest place to live? Who knows, after visiting the area you may decide it’s where you want to live.
 
So, what city is No. 1 on the U.S. News and World Report list of Safest Places to Live in the U.S. 2022-23?
 
It’s Naples, FL.
 
The city earned the top spot thanks to its low crime rate. The rankings are primarily based on the number of violent crimes and property crimes per 100,000 people.
 
But that’s not the only list where Naples ranks at the top. It ranks No. 2 on the list of Best Places to Retire in the U.S. Actually, Florida cities take up eight out of the top 10 spots.
 
Naples ranks so high because of the warm temperatures, beautiful beaches, high quality of life, and low crime rate. Nestled along the Gulf of Mexico, the area has upscale dining and shopping and is close to larger cities such as Tampa and Miami. The area’s shores, backwaters and bays are also popular among boaters and anglers. 
 
It’s in a great location that’s easy to access for car or airline travel. The area has a large international airport with regular flights from just about anywhere in the U.S. as well as other countries. Interstate 75 and U.S. 41 run through the county, making it easy to visit other areas of the state.
 
U.S. News describes Naples as “Long known as a preferred retirement spot for the rich, powerful and cold-averse, the greater Naples and Marco Island area supplies pristine beaches, sprawling golf courses, and fine dining and shopping.”
 
Naples also makes the top 15 in the Best Places to Live (#12) and Fastest-Growing Places (#9).
 
If you are trying to decide where to take your next vacation or looking for a new place to call home, why not choose the safest place to live? Book your stay at the Inn at Pelican Bay and ask your concierge for the best places to visit while you’re here. You can make the Inn your second home away from home.​

If you’re going on a long business trip, boutique hotels have everything you need. The personal touches, on-site conveniences, and friendly staff will help to make your trip as comfortable as possible.
 
Here are five reasons you should consider staying at a boutique hotel the next time you travel for business:
 
1. The personal touch
 
Boutique hotels are a great way to get a feel for the city you’re visiting. These hotels are often small, locally owned, and staffed by people who truly know the area. This means that you will get personalized service from staff members who know your name and where you’re from. You won't be just another customer; you'll be treated like a guest in their home.
 
2. Quiet, comfortable atmosphere
 
They are often quieter than larger chain hotels as there are fewer rooms. With less noise, you’ll be able to get work done at the hotel if you need and you’ll be able to get plenty of rest. The rooms themselves tend to provide good working conditions, or there are other quiet places around the hotel where you can set up and enjoy a view while you work.
 
3. Business services and facilities
 
Boutique hotels offer a range of services to help you work efficiently such as Internet access, desks, charging stations, private areas and meeting rooms.
 
4. Amenities
 
Look for one with an exercise room, pool, spa, or other amenities that can help you keep fit and relax. It’s good to keep up an exercise routine while you travel. Exercising or enjoying a dip in the pool can be relaxing, too, and give you a break from work.
 
5. Location
 
You can often find one that is close to the center of activity but not right in the middle of it. There should be one close to where you are conducting business and close to plenty of activities, dining, and shopping. It may even be more convenient and lead to fewer distractions if you hold meetings at your hotel. There should be plenty of quiet places or meeting rooms available to conduct business.
 
If you are traveling to the Naples, FL, area for business, the Inn at Pelican Bay is an ideal spot. It has everything we mentioned and more. There’s free Wi-Fi, desks in the room or plenty of other quiet spots to do business, a boardroom and 24-hour business center. The fitness center is open 24 hours as well.
The Inn at Pelican Bay is nestled close to downtown and in the middle of plenty of dining and things to do but still quiet and comfortable.
 
The customer service is excellent, there’s friendly staff, a pool, meeting rooms and an exercise room where you can keep up with your Peloton classes. A bonus is the entire hotel, including each room, has air purification systems to help kill germs. The rooms are spacious, extremely clean, and comfortable. You’ll have everything you need for business and recreation.

​The best hotels have a variety of awards and certifications to prove they meet or exceed certain standards in the industry as well as the expectations of their guests. Although reviews are important, awards can tell you a lot, too.
 
At the Inn at Pelican Bay in Naples, we were honored to receive the Tripadvisor Traveler’s Choice Award for 2022. That means it is in the Top 10% of hotels worldwide.
 
The award celebrates businesses that have received great traveler reviews on Tripadvisor over the last 12 months. As challenging as the last few years have been, the Inn at Pelican Bay stood out by consistently delivering positive experiences for the guests.
 
That’s not the only award the Inn at Pelican Bay has received. For the last 8 years, it has been a AAA Four Diamond Hotel. Fewer than 10 hotels in Naples are Four Diamond rated.
 
What does a Four Diamond rating mean? According to AAA, “these establishments are upscale in all areas. Accommodations are progressively more refined and stylish. The physical attributes reflect an obvious enhanced level of quality throughout. The fundamental hallmarks at this level include an extensive array of amenities combined with a high degree of hospitality, service, and attention to detail.”
 
The diamond rating process is North America’s premier hotel rating program. About 32,000 hotels throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean are AAA Approved and Diamond rated.
 
In addition to the Four Diamond rating, the Inn at Pelican Bay received the Inspector’s Best of Housekeeping award. AAA’s professionally trained inspectors perform an on-site evaluation to analyze the hotel's conditions against their high cleanliness expectations.
 
These awards are based not only on professional standards but customer input. We work hard to provide a clean, beautiful place to stay while offering guests excellent customer service.
