Travel/Hotels

To me, hotels are so much more than a place to sleep. Hotels are part of the destination experience. Each one of the hotels featured here is carefully curated by me personally. I write about hotels often on this blog so please do a search on the sidebar if you are inquiring about a specific city or hotel.
