Fresh travel and hotel guides published every week.
Luxury Stay·Rebeca Fenney
An overwater villa is the most photographed room in travel and one of the easiest to overpay for. Here is what the rate buys, what it hides, and how to choose an atoll that suits the trip you are actually taking.

A chalet hotel sells wood, snow and a fire. The best ones also get the boring things right: a warm boot room, a bed that works at altitude and a bill without surprises.
Travel Guide·Rebeca Fenney
Kyoto rewards slow walking and punishes rushed lists. This four-day route stays inside a few neighbourhoods, starts early, and leaves room for the city to surprise you.
Travel Guide·Rebeca Fenney
Lisbon is a city of hills, tiles and very good lunches. The trick is to pick the right neighbourhood, use the transport properly and resist the restaurant with the longest queue.
Hotel Review·Rebeca Fenney
Porto has a small-hotel scene that punches above its size. We booked six rooms at public rates and compared the things the photographs never show: space, noise and what breakfast really costs.

Hotel Review·Rebeca Fenney
Tokyo business hotels are the best value in the city if you accept the size. We tested rooms across four wards to find out which small stay is actually comfortable.
Destination Insight·Rebeca Fenney
Lake Bled is the postcard, but the quieter water is 25 minutes away. This is the lakes-and-mountains week that skips the tour buses and still sees the best of Slovenia.
Destination Insight·Rebeca Fenney
The Coral Coast is 1,200 kilometres of empty road, small towns and a reef you can swim to from the beach. It is a commitment, and it is worth it if you plan the distances honestly.
Travel Experience·Rebeca Fenney
A night train is a hotel that moves and a flight that lets you watch the country go by. It is also a shared cabin, a narrow bed and a station at seven in the morning. Here is what to expect.
Travel Experience·Rebeca Fenney
Georgia is cheap, warm and easy to travel alone, but it is not a checklist destination. Two weeks of cities, mountains and a lot of bread, with the awkward parts included.
