Hotels & Villas
Luxury hotels and villas around the world, reviewed and reported first-hand. I have stayed in, tested, and photographed exceptional properties across 135 countries — from overwater villas in the Maldives to design hotels in Europe and private island resorts in Indonesia. This section brings together two things: my honest, in-person hotel and villa reviews, and my curated coverage of the most exciting new hotel openings worth knowing about. Represent a hotel or villa?
