Travel Blog - Mr & Mrs Smith Boutique & Luxury Hotels

This exciting new collaboration enables travellers to stay in touch and stay in style…

Dopplr, the online social service for frequent business travellers, has teamed up with
Mr & Mrs Smith, the luxury and boutique hotel experts, to allow users to tailor itineraries and select hotels for their worldwide trips thanks to direct access to the Smiths’ unrivalled insider knowledge, global hotel collection and travel-booking services.

‘Mr & Mrs Smith’s approach to travel is much like our own – a combination of utility and style,’ says Lisa Sounio, co-founder and CEO of Dopplr. ‘They value the romance and beauty of travel, but also like to find good deals along the way.’

This partnership is the first of its kind for Dopplr, the internet community that helps frequent travellers share their travel plans with trusted friends and colleagues, so that when international paths cross, an opportunity to network or meet up isn’t missed. The service also reminds you of friends and colleagues who live in the cities you’re visiting.

‘Just as Dopplr has become an essential tool for its members around the globe, Mr & Mrs Smith is elemental to planning and booking boutique holidays, making it the perfect partnership,’ says Tamara Heber-Percy, director and co-founder of Mr & Mrs Smith.

Mr & Mrs Smith’s hotel collection (see www.mrandmrssmith.com/all-our-hotels ) is the cherry-picked result of exhaustive international research; the booking service offers the best room rates on quirky city hotels and romantic boutique retreats through to stylish country manors and luxury spa resorts. There’s always the reassurance of knowing every hotel has been rigorously tried and tested to ensure it meets Mr & Mrs Smith’s superior standards.

‘We’ve worked hard to make this simple and very useful for these frequent travellers,’ explains Sounio. ‘That’s why we’ve made Dopplr so easy to use and, we believe, a joy to look at. We call it “beautility” – combining beauty and utility on the social web and turning it into a practical pleasure.’
