Hi Tamara
Thanks for the comment – much appreciated. I responded also. Of course I don’t really think hotels are dying – but I do think travellers are more demanding and hotels will either have to improve their game or travellers will go elsewhere. As I said in response to your comment, we spend an average of 200+ nights a year in hotels and our disappointing stays are outweighing the enjoyable ones. And we’re finding it’s often the award-winning, Conde Nast hot list hotels that are often the worst, and some tiny boutique place in the back of beyond with an idiosyncratic style, exquisite attention to detail, and personalized service will come out miles ahead. Interesting days ahead for hotels I think.

Hi Lara
Welcome to our blog. We have only just re-launched it and are waiting for a new design.
I just checked out yours too – some great articles and I shall definitely comment on your most recent post about boutique hotels and renting.

Hello there! Great post! I have only just discovered this tasty little blog – I didn’t know Mr & Mrs Smith had one before and we’ve reviewed hotels for them too! I’ll have to link to this one!
