Welcome, Hotel Person, to the curation of the most special hotels around the world, for good people with good taste.

I’m Marissa Klurstein, @mklurstein on both TikTok and Instagram, the human behind the screen. This is where you come to answer the “where do I stay?” or “where do I go?” questions, whenever they arise. Or, to keep your status as your inner circle’s reference for travel recommendations. Both, ideally! Every week, for paid subscribers, I share a full list of hotels in a specific destination around the world, a unique travel itinerary, and various other hotels, hoteliers, tips, places I’ve selected as only the most special. Every other Sunday, I share a free edition. This is not where you come to just find the “nicest” hotel somewhere, this is where you find the unique and memorable, the places that stick with you.

I’ve spent my life obsessing over hotels - collecting them, curating them. I know a lot about a lot of hotels, and I’m sharing it all with you. I’m a Brand/Content/Creative Strategist, writer, and travel agent. In the former, I specialize in fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and luxury. In the latter, Italy is my area of expertise. But, I have a knack for rigorously researching anywhere.

This this where I curate a world of wonder within the wonderful world of travel. And largely, it’s an ode to the verb usage of Happy Hoteling

A travel research tool

For Good People with Good Taste

This is a place where like-minded people commune and revel together. People who constantly seek soul, a story, a sensibility to curate a beautiful life. This is a place for good people with good taste - you?
