Usually, by the time I check into a hotel, I have spent much of my time stalking every aspect of it. I spend hours browsing the image galleries, know the room categories by heart and have more or less memorized the menu. Researching and booking hotels is one of my favorite things about traveling. That’s…
Tucked away behind a big, dark green hedge, you’ll find the L’Horizon Palm Springs on East Palm Canyon Drive. What awaits behind said hedge is my new favorite boutique hotel in the world (setting the bar high in only the second sentence, I know). I lost my heart to the iconic, mid-century modern architecture, perfect interior…
It has been 13 years since I lived in Southern California (Orange County). Back in the days, we used to go up to Los Angeles occasionally, but not too often. For years, I had these vague memories of Downtown Los Angeles being a place where you would only men in suits or homeless people on the…
As amazing as luxurious 5-star hotels are, there is always something special about a stay at a boutique hotel. They may not have the fanciest rooms, biggest breakfast buffet or a turndown service, but they have so much personality and charm!

I travel a lot and I think it is safe to say that I have seen a ton of stunning hotels. Some huge with more than 600 rooms, some incredibly luxurious and fancy. Others stylish and brand new, and then there are little hidden gems that I stumble upon by accident. The Hotel Providence Paris…
There is always something magical about staying at a Four Seasons Resort. The brand is known for their high 5-star standards and unparalleled service. During our travels to Mauritius, we decided to end the trip with 3 relaxing days in a hotel after having spent the first half of the trip in a house together with…
When we booked our vacation to escape freezing Austria for some vitamin D in Mauritius, the last thing that was on our mind was a cyclone and daily down pours. There are a lot of things you can change, but the weather is definitely not one of them. We’ve been on the island for a…
