Premium hotels, first class flights and award travel – fair and critical assessments of high-end travel.
Luxury travel means different things to different people. For some it is the historic grand hotel with two centuries of guest registers; for others, a remote private island, a First Class cabin over the Pacific, or a restaurant tasting menu that requires months of advance planning.
