Wireless connectivity is not the problem. As I stated, I can surf the web using any non-Apple applications such as: Firefox, Chrome, DropBox, Skype, Adobe, Outlook, Mint, etc. I can also use AppleAirPlay to stream video to my AppleTV. However, to test your theory, I connected to the internet through a wired connection. I am still having problems connecting to the internet with Apple Apps such as: Safari, iTunes, AppStore, iMessage and Maps. This problem does not always persist.

It arises a few times a day and my current solution is to disconnect/reconnect to the internet and/or restart the computer. This issue started after my Yosemite update. Whenever you experience issues with Safari, App Store, iTunes and any other service that uses the 'same' WebKit, but seem to see no problem in Google Chrome or Firefox, it's good to check if you have your Proxies configuration clear.
Skype will not connect on Mac. Skype can stop working on your Mac for several reasons from network outages, needed Mac system updates or not having Skype set to update automatically. After trying all troubleshooting steps,next you may consider uninstalling and reinstalling Skype. Mac system update needed. Connect to the internet.

Since sometimes Chrome (and Firefox) override these settings (for their own multi platform stuff), they may work while the formers fail. This is easily checked by opening Safari -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Proxies (Change Settings).
Make sure Autodiscover is not checked. It should probably look all empty like this: note/off-topic: the Use PASV FTP is usually a good idea if you are behind a router/modem/NAT like Airport Extreme or AirportExpress (or any other to be honest), since FTP was not designed to be used behind these 'hacks'. In any case, if you don't know what it is, you can safely ignore it, but if you have FTP problems every now and then (or FTP is slow as ****), check that and try again. The local ignores for proxies was added by the Operating System, but it's usually a good idea to have your local stuff ignore the proxy. Tried reseting the browser. Other forums suggested unchecking/turning off safari in the icloud drive settings changing search engine to Bing.

I think the problem is broader than Safari and Apple apps. When I connect to the hotel wifi, only Chrome works. I cannot connect to my office 365 server with Outlook either. When I connect tethered to my iphone, Outlook can connect, but Safari still will not load a page. Messages app doesn't seem to work with either connection, but everything works fine on the same connection on my ipad. Wireless connectivity is not the problem.
