We exist to make travel more predictable, meaningful, and rewarding by sharing our point of view – with a lens around great design and authentic experiences. We look for great design in unusual, independent, boutique accommodations. Our city and regional travel guides are designed to connect you with local culture and help you discover something special that most visitors miss.

We’ve built our curated and distilled content for discerning travelers, leveraging local, insider knowledge. We’re focused on highlighting hotels, resorts and short-term rentals that we think are authentic, independent, and owned by passionate people who care about good design. Occasionally, we’ll review larger hotels, or hotels that are part of a small chain, because we think there’s something exceptional about the hotel.

We exist to help like-minded hotels link up with like-minded people – connect great experiences to great people and take the friction out of finding a great place to stay and unique things to do there.
