Hotels Above Par is your ultimate guide to the world’s most irresistible boutique stays. Our love affair with hotels runs deep—so much so, we built a bookable, hyper-curated database of properties reviewed and approved by our network of top-tier travel journalists worldwide.

While unique, not-too-corporate stays are our bread and butter, we don’t just stop at the lobby. Expect insider destination guides, buzz-worthy restaurant picks, and wanderlust-fueled inspiration that keeps your next escape top of mind—and just a click away.

All of our content is free. Expect our newsletters in your inbox every Tuesday and Thursday.

Thank you for loving indie media.
