The Heart of the Hotel

A luxury travel enthusiast, keeping score

The Heart of the Hotel is my personal guide to luxury hotels. I give each one a score out of 10.

I'm a luxury travel enthusiast. I write about the hotels I love, score each one out of 10, and help readers book them.

I started scoring hotels because photographs and star ratings say little about how a stay feels. So I take notes on the five things that matter most to me, and I publish what I think.

Hotels cannot pay for a review or a score. Read the full method.
