If you’re heading to Woodstock to check out the town, chances are you will run into the Woodstock Inn — just as the wood covered bridges and the charming main street make every tourists’ “must see” Woodstock list, this particular inn has become symbolic of Vermont classic luxury and comfort, and is an iconic part…
Read MoreLuxury Hotel Review: Four Seasons Sultanahmet
The Four Seasons owns two stunning properties in Istanbul — one resides in the old city Sultanahmet, and one sits directly on the Bosphorus. I opted for the old city Sultanahmet location, but have heard wonderful reviews of its sister hotel too. You can’t go wrong with either choice, and each has its advantages. Option…
Read MoreLuxury Hotel Review: Cappadocia Estates
A cave hotel should be on everyone’s travel bucket list! Not only does it make for a unique travel experience, but cave hotels incorporate the surrounding geography into the architecture, and create comfort in what was once a more…let’s call it “primitive accommodation offering” for mankind. A close friend put us in touch with Lale,…
Read MoreLuxury Hotel Review: Singita Grumeti Faru Faru
Singita Grumeti Faru Faru was a 12/10 hotel experience. No matter how long you stay, you’ll always wish you had one more day. What can you expect on your safari? A trip to Faru Faru begins at the airstrip, where your guide will greet you in a small, but beautifully polished hut next to the…
Read MoreLuxury Hotel Review: Lamai Serengeti
If you don’t like camping, but you’re all in for glamping, put Lamai Serengeti on your bucket-list and be prepared to be wow-ed.

Read MoreLuxury Hotel Review: Onsea House
Onsea House was the perfect “Welcome-to-Tanzania-here’s-a-lovely-place-to-crash” hotel. Coming from NYC, the journey to Tanzania for our honeymoon felt like a week-long airplane ride. When we finally landed we were exhausted, hungry, and in desperate need for a clean place to sleep. When I initially planned the trip, I thought we’d hit the ground running…

Read MoreLuxury Hotel Review: Cabot Links
Golf Expectations: If you’re a golfer, Cabot Links lodge and golf course is a must-visit destination! It features two of the best courses in the world (Cabot Links is ranked #35 and Cabot Cliffs #11), but is a fraction of the cost compared to other famous North American destination golf courses (thank you Canadian dollar).

Read MoreLuxury Hotel Review: Bernardus Lodge
Welcome to Bernardus! First impressions and the grounds: Pulling into Bernardus Lodge and Spa, you will be instantly hit with that California-vineyard feel, that until now, you only thought existed in Napa. Rows upon rows of vineyards border the entryway, and if you happen to vacation here in the fall, it looks as if fields of…
Read MoreLuxury Hotel Review: Lodge at Pebble Beach
The Lodge at Pebble Beach needs no introduction to its famous golf course, overlooking the stunning Pacific coastline. Even knowing about the hotel before my visit, I was still blown away by the scenery, hotel grounds, and hospitality.
