The World's Most Trusted Voice in Five-Star Hospitality
Hotel & Resort Magazine is the definitive publication for the globally mobile luxury traveller, hospitality professional, and property investor seeking authoritative intelligence on the world's finest hotels, resorts, and destination experiences. Founded in 2008 by a team of former hotel general managers and travel journalists, we have spent seventeen years developing the editorial independence, critical depth, and first-hand knowledge that our readers rely upon when every decision matters.
Our Editorial Standards
Every property reviewed in our editorial pages is visited without prior notification to the hotel's management team, paid for at the published rate or through our Anonymous Guest Programme, and assessed against a consistent set of criteria that we publish and update annually. We do not accept complimentary stays in exchange for coverage, do not sell advertising to properties we review, and do not accept sponsored content in any format that could influence our editorial judgement. These standards are not aspirational; they are the operational framework within which our editorial team has worked since the publication's founding.
Our Reach
Hotel & Resort Magazine reaches over 340,000 qualified readers monthly. Our audience includes approximately 68,000 individuals who travel in the five-star category more than six times per year, 28,000 hospitality professionals, and over 14,000 corporate travel managers and luxury travel advisors who share our content with their clients. We are read in 89 countries, with our largest communities in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Switzerland, and the UAE.
Our Team
Our editorial team of eight permanent contributors collectively holds over 120 years of hotel industry experience — as general managers, spa directors, executive chefs, and concierge professionals — before transitioning to journalism. This operational background informs every review and analysis we publish: we know what a kitchen brigade looks like under pressure, what the service delivery model for a 300-room hotel actually costs, and what the difference between a trained and an untrained sommelier sounds like when you ask a question about a wine list. This knowledge makes our praise credible and our criticism specific.
