We are excited to share that Travel & Lust won the Best Boutique Hotel Directory, by LUXlife. The win comes at a time when the travel and tourism industry is fighting against the ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19. We have always been focused on supporting special boutique hotels and businesses, and the past year has reinforced how important this is to us.
LUXlife shares: “So far 2020 has been a significantly tough year for the hospitality industry. No event has impacted the hospitality industry like the coronavirus, which has had a significant effect on all businesses and individuals from all across the globe. LUXlife aims to support and reward those key individuals who have gone above and beyond for their customers and clients, even in such unprecedented times.”
Our BLACK BOOK hotel directory stemmed from our Founder being consistently asked for recommendations on where to stay. At the time Travel & Lust already had a HOTEL REVIEWS page, based on places that she had personally visited but, it was limited. She often received media releases to repurpose and share but this didn’t feel quite right. Instead, she set out to connect with hotels based on specific criteria and create a listing that was in line with the philosophy of Travel & Lust.
The type of accommodation people choose to stay at is very personal. As people, we all have our preferences and individual needs. Our curated boutique directory aims to showcase special boutique places to stay and profiles gems that; commit to sustainability, are child-friendly, have something unique and include alternatives to hotels. All accommodation featured are carefully selected and monitored, and readers that decide to stay at a place that we have recommended, share their feedback.
