I am not one of those travellers who skimp on hotels because “you just go there to sleep.” I am a comfort loving adventurer, and the hotel experience is important part of the trip. But I do have a budget to consider when travelling, so I look for the gems with great price-to-quality-ratio. This is a collection of hotels I have stayed in around the world over the years and that I would happily return to. They have stood out for their attentive service and thoughtful design without blowing my budget.
