An architect’s eye for exceptional hotels
I’ve worked across London, New York and Sydney, and my travel writing has appeared in HuffPost, Thrive Global and CNBC. When I visit a hotel, I pay attention to the things that give it a sense of place, from the way the building sits in the landscape to the materials, interiors and details you only notice once you slow down.
Slow travel, with family
Travelling with my son has made me appreciate hotels where families can settle in and enjoy being somewhere together. I look for thoughtful design, a warm welcome and enough room in the day to stay a little longer.
Why I created Worth It
“Where should I stay?” is the question I hear most. Worth It is my answer for Mallorca, an edit of beautiful hotels with the character and care that make a stay worth your time.
