The reservations desk

We know which sea-facing rooms actually face the sea.

Anyone can show you a property's own photographs. We have been putting clients into these hotels for years, which is why we can tell you which floor to ask for, which restaurant to skip, and whether that twenty-minute transfer is really twenty minutes.

Where we book most

Cities and islands we know without looking them up.

Choose one to begin an enquiry, or simply tell us the city and your dates.

Dubai Maldives Bali Singapore Bangkok Kuala Lumpur London Paris Zurich Tokyo Udaipur Srinagar Munnar Goa

City hotels

Four and five star, chosen for what is walkable after dark rather than what looks close on a map pin.

Resorts & villas

Beach resorts, pool villas, overwater suites and all-inclusive boards, with the meal plan spelled out so nothing surprises you at checkout.

Heritage & houseboats

Rajasthan havelis, Kerala houseboats, Kashmir houseboats, Himachal homestays. The ones we have inspected, not the ones with the best listing photographs.

Groups & events

Twenty rooms for a wedding, a conference block, a school tour. Held on deposit with names confirmed later.

Why not simply use an app

Three things an app will not do for you.

Hold the room without payment. For families and groups still deciding, we block inventory provisionally and release it if you change your mind.
Answer for the room you actually get. If it is not what was sold, you call us and we deal with the front desk: in their language, with the terms in hand.
Talk you out of a hotel. We lose money doing it and do it anyway, because you come back the following year.

Tip A hotel and a flight quoted together is usually cheaper than either alone. Ask for the combined figure before you book half the trip yourself.
