501 Places continues its series (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) about the Balkans. And last week the NYT ran a feature about Macedonia's wine country, which mentioned the Stonebridge Hotel "Among the several luxury hotels downtown" in Skopje, the Macedonian capital.
We've yet to get to Macedonia, so just planning ahead, I found the Stonebridge Hotel on TripAdvisor, where it's ranked ninth at the moment among Skopje hotels.
The NYT article called the hotel "intriguing" and the Tripadvisor comments run the gamut from "When you enter the hotel you say WOW! but when you enter the room you say HMMM." to "It is elegant and well appointed" to "Also slipers (sic) are good idea."
Consider the photo at left, which is from the hotel's main web page. It's not so much the comely lass and her businesswear. Just wondering about the busy businessman on his laptop. Maybe Macedonian men have unique postures. Or perhaps not all the rooms come with facilities.
