The Hotel Guru

Our goal is straightforward: to help you discover exceptional hotels. We began by bringing together 45 top hotel critics and journalists, known as the Gurus, to share their insights on the finest accommodations in cities and regions they are familiar with. Their recommendations cover not only hotels but also luxurious bed and breakfasts, delightful gastropubs, charming inns in prime locations, farms, and other unique stays. Then, we dove into travel books, newspapers, and award lists to gather their suggestions. You don't have to rely solely on our evaluations—alongside our recommendations, we've included links to all the original reviews and travel guides, allowing you to explore their opinions in detail.
