  • I’ve said it before: “What’s the BEST hotel?” is usually the wrong question.

Because best for WHAT?

Sometimes you want Aman-level disappear-from-society energy.

Sometimes you want to walk downstairs at The Standard and immediately feel like something is happening.

Sometimes you want Claridge’s and a martini and for life to feel slightly more fabulous than usual.

And sometimes you just want someone else to make all the decisions for four days. 😂

Your hotel sets the emotional tone for the trip.

So the better question is: How do you want this trip to FEEL?

Tell me your hotel personality below. 👇
  • Quick warning: flying for the holidays? Stop watching fares. Start booking STAT.

This week in travel: holiday airfare is already getting pricey, @tsa is talking checkpoint upgrades, and @united is using starlink Wi-Fi to win over loyal flyers.

The takeaway? Value is not always the cheapest ticket.

Sometimes it’s the better flight time, the shorter security line, or Wi-Fi that actually works.

What matters most when you fly: lowest fare, smoother airport experience, or working Wi-Fi?

  • One of my favorite hotel tips has nothing to do with upgrades:

Reach out. Confirm logistics. Share the context that actually matters. Let them know if you’re celebrating something or if there’s something that would meaningfully improve your stay.

Not because you’re trying to get free stuff.

  • This week in travel: Northeast flight disruptions, a Middle East travel warning from @statedept, and no U.S. airline in the world’s top 20 according to @skytrax_uk.

So apparently, we’re checking flights, airspace, and expectations.

The big takeaway? Travel headlines are broad. Your trip is specific.

A tech issue disrupted major Northeast airports, reminding travelers that fixed does not mean recovered. Planes, crews, bags, and passengers can still be out of position.

@statedept is also warning Americans to reconsider travel to and through parts of the Middle East. But that does not mean the entire region is closed. Check the exact country, airline, route, and dates.

And @skytrax_uk named @singaporeair the world’s best airline for 2026, with @qatarairways second and @cathaypacific third. No U.S. airline made the top 20.

Passenger survey? Yes. Safety ranking? No.

Service message? Loud and clear.

Surprised, or did you just nod like “that tracks”?

  • I read the travel news so you don’t have to. This week’s theme: value.

Labor Day travel looks expensive, American Airlines is adding premium seats, and the U.S. travel industry fears fewer international visitors.

My take? Travel is booming, but becoming more divided. Some pay for comfort and convenience. Others have to get smarter about the total cost.

Because value doesn’t always mean cheap.

Sometimes it’s a direct flight, a well-located hotel, or not becoming your own unpaid travel agent before you even leave.
  • When you can’t get to France, the West Village will have to do. 🇫🇷

Dinner at @lepetitvillage.nyc , a charming little Provençal-inspired spot that gets the atmosphere right, but more importantly, has the culinary talent to back it up.

Chef Mehjabin Ahmed has worked at Eleven Madison Park, Le Coucou, and Bistro Paul Bert in Paris, which definitely explains why this feels like more than just another pretty French restaurant.

Great food, candlelight, a cozy corner of the West Village, and exactly the kind of neighborhood spot NYC does so well.

Adding this one to my NYC list. ✨

Shoutout to my dinner date @thecubancarrie girls 👯‍♀️
  • POV: The hospitality conversation suddenly turns into a plank challenge. 😂

@anthonyhotels and I clearly decided that talking about travel and hospitality wasn’t enough. We had to add a little friendly competition to the mix.

Looking back, these are the moments I love most. Great conversations, good energy, a few laughs, and plenty of memories along the way.

Because hospitality is about people, and sometimes the best moments happen when you simply let yourself have a little fun… and sweat a little ✨

Be honest… how long would you have held a plank for… in a suit? 👀

Also shoutout to @ninodgordeli and @gigieats for being there to document this!

  • I don’t check into hotels like a normal person. Occupational hazard.

Does anyone look up when I arrive? Does the welcome feel human or rehearsed? Is check-in easy? Can I turn off the room lights without solving a puzzle? And what is happening in that hallway?

Because the lobby is designed to impress you. The hallway is often where the truth lives.

Great hospitality is rarely one grand gesture. It’s a team that notices, a room that works, thoughtful maintenance, and dozens of details that prevent the guest from having to ask.

Also, marble is lovely. Functioning plumbing is lovelier.

What’s the first thing you notice when you check into a hotel?

And sometimes you just want someone else to make all the decisions for four days. 😂

Your hotel sets the emotional tone for the trip.

One of my favorite hotel tips has nothing to do with upgrades:

Start the relationship BEFORE you arrive.

Reach out. Confirm logistics. Share the context that actually matters. Let them know if you’re celebrating something or if there’s something that would meaningfully improve your stay.

Not because you’re trying to get free stuff.

Because hospitality works better when there’s a relationship rather than a transaction.

The very best hotel arrivals feel like someone was actually expecting you.

And THAT feeling? That’s luxury.

Save this for your next hotel stay.

I don’t check into hotels like a normal person. Occupational hazard.

Does anyone look up when I arrive? Does the welcome feel human or rehearsed? Is check-in easy? Can I turn off the room lights without solving a puzzle? And what is happening in that hallway?

Because the lobby is designed to impress you. The hallway is often where the truth lives.

Great hospitality is rarely one grand gesture. It’s a team that notices, a room that works, thoughtful maintenance, and dozens of details that prevent the guest from having to ask.

Also, marble is lovely. Functioning plumbing is lovelier.

What’s the first thing you notice when you check into a hotel?
