Why the Hotel Is Half the Trip (Yes, We Said It)

We’ll say it loud: the hotel isn’t just where you drop your suitcase—it’s half the adventure.

Think about it. Some of your best travel memories probably didn’t happen out on the streets—they happened over a slow breakfast with a view, by the pool with a book you actually had time to read, or in that ridiculous robe you may or may not have “accidentally” packed.

That’s why our itineraries always include a sacred day of rest. Not because we’re lazy (though, no shame if you are), but because we believe the places you stay are just as important as the places you go. And when you’re in one of our handpicked hotels, trust us—you’ll want the time to soak it all in.

So next time you plan a trip, ask yourself: am I just booking a bed, or am I booking an experience?

How about you? What’s the best hotel you’ve ever stayed in—and what made it unforgettable? Share it with us—we’re always on the hunt for the next gem.
