Hotels

We're a little obsessed with where we stay. But that's good news for you.

A converted farmhouse in the Cotswolds. Private islands with drop-dead-gorgeous lagoons. Cult city stays and little-known properties you'd never find scrolling the usual suspects.

Our hotel list is built on good taste and a healthy curiosity for what's around the next corner. And yes, the big-name resorts too, when they're genuinely worth the splurge.

We take our hotel research seriously. Very seriously. Because someone's got to test the minibar, right?

Life's too short for an average stay, and we're not about to keep a good one to ourselves. These are the places we book, bookmark and tell our friends about.
