Every stop-in on this list has been selected independently by our editor and written by her – a seasoned Travel Writer who has reasonably explored the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editor considers both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination.
While sometimes hosted by the hotel, the reviews are entirely from the perspective and experience of our Travel Writer, who is always looking for decent hygiene and safety protocols and action, beautiful design, a great location, and warm service—as well as sustainability principles enacted with no greenwashing agenda!
