    With a name like Badass Tours Amsterdam, you’re not exactly trying to communicate that you’re like everyone else.

    In a world where “luxury” is more marketing than matter and five-star establishments bank on outward projection, J.K. Place Roma is a rare example of a hotel that lets discretion do the talking.

Quite possibly the most stylish and sexy hotel in all of #Rome, J.K. Place Roma by @jk_places is an 'if you know, you know' kind of hotel in the Eternal City. Check out my review via @OutThereMag https://t.co/zPLDGeV02w

I had a positively regal stay at @StRegisRome a few months ago: a brilliant base to explore all the best that #Rome has to offer, with cultural collaborations and, of course, some good old-fashioned glamour. https://t.co/m3V0bKNWn5 @stregishotels @MarriottIntl #Italy #StRegis

What's better than the setting of Raffles #Udaipur? It's got to be the hotel's incredibly attentive and generous butler service. Here are my thoughts on @raffleshotels' first outpost in #India. https://t.co/7jeqfInvYW @Accor @incredibleindia #Raffles #travel
