Deck those halls! Trim those trees! Jingle those bells! Yes, unbelievable but true: it’s time once again for Mr & Mrs Smith’s Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide. If, like us, you like to do things spontaneously (aka last-minute), this post will help you get Christmas all wrapped up (and shoved into stockings) just in time.
Stocking fillers for [...]
Our suits and party frocks are back in the wardrobe, we’ve wiped the parmesan crumbs from our lips, the whisper-thin ham is MIA, and the prosecco bottles are empty. Yet the memory of our book-launch party for Mr & Mrs Smith Hotel Collection – Italy lives on. (For those who weren’t there, you missed opera [...]
Well, call us party animals if you like: this past week has seen not one, but two exciting Smith events light up local calendars on either side of the pond.
Last Wednesday saw our Italy guide launch party at B&B Italia in London; but the night before, over in Florida, we celebrated our affair with Scope. [...]
This month, we went looking for new Smith hotels in Fiji. Our search uncovered Dolphin Island, a private-island stay just north of Viti Levu. In the Indian Ocean, we plotted a romantic rendezvous at Anantara Kihavah Villas, a desert-island dream of a hotel in the blue-gold Maldives.
Next, we went coastal in south-east Asia, discovering Bunga Raya (above), an eco-chic escape [...]
Last night in London saw the soiree to launch our latest (and, we think, greatest) hotel guide: Mr & Mrs Smith Hotel Collection – Italy. If you were there, thanks so much for coming (hopefully you enjoyed it as much as we did!). If you couldn’t make it, here’s what you missed…
B&B Italia threw open [...]
Oh, to be clad in chequered knitwear and tweedy plus fours, with a basket of balls beside us, a keen caddie behind us, and a green and pleasant golf course before us. In this lust for all things golf-y, our Hotel of the week spotlight glows brightly upon The Bull Inn, a pretty little pub [...]
We teamed up with those style-savvy folks at Refinery29 to signpost you to some of our favourite hotels perfect for next week’s Thanksgiving holidays.
Now, make no mistake, we love a little feasting with our nearest and dearest in celebration of harvest time: but what if you’re in the mood to sidestep the multi-generational thing for [...]
We love pubs, we do. Especially ones with a chummy restaurant and bedrooms that you can sneak off to, post-pint. In this mood, we salute The Beckford Arms, an inn we’d love to call our local, and our latest hotel of the week.
Style Great Brit-inn

Why this week? We love it when our [...]
It’s amore: Mr & Mrs Smith’s love affair with Italy is official (ok, that by itself isn’t really ‘news’, but read on…). Our latest (and, may we modestly suggest, greatest) hotel guidebook brings you 32 hand-picked hotels in Italy, including traditional Puglian trulli, gorgeous guesthouses, spectacular lakeside villas, wonderful farmhouses and dazzling city-centre palazzos.
As ever, we show [...]
Here at Smith, we don’t know whether to drag out our saris, ski poles or swimwear this month, as we welcome new luxury hotels in the Indian desert, European mountains, sun-drenched Sicily and tropical Australia.
Our collection of boutique hotels in India continues to swell, with the arrival of two beauties in Jodhpur, including fairy-tale desert [...]
