We love staying in smaller hotels with plenty of character as they match our small group tours—it’s also something that the larger tour companies with mega groups just can’t do. Imagine enjoying a day full of enriching cultural experiences only to go back to your hotel with no signs of the local culture. Plus, smaller hotels get you closer to the action, whether that’s the bustling city centre or the local town square!
A great day deserves an equally great retreat. Our hotels range from 3 to 5 stars depending on the destination and what’s available. However, rather than focussing on star ratings alone, we use the following criteria: cleanliness, great service, atmosphere, location, location and location. Did we mention location is important?
Special Tour Accommodation
We also mix it up a bit and add special accommodation wherever and whenever we can. In Italy’s quaint village of Puglia, we’ll spend a few nights in a traditional, heritage-listed trullo, while in Japan we’ll go local and stay in a small Ryokan guesthouse, featuring the quintessential ‘tatami’ floors. Over in South America, we’ll stay in some great old haciendas and estancias, as well as the most incredible eco-resort deep in the Amazon Jungle—although take it from us, we don’t recommend swinging from vines here like Tarzan!
Special accommodation in itself can be an experience, and for a lot of travellers, their place of rest and recovery is the foundation of their favourite trip memories! Who wouldn’t remember waking up with views over an African game reserve or floating gently across the Nile River? We sure would.
