The Curation: Volume 57
The UK Hotel List Spring '25 Edition, and a lot of words from the heart about some of the most memorable trips of my life.
Finally, the long over-due and way in the making updated UK Hotel List. 47 new additions, bringing it to almost 375 hotels. All across England, Wales, and Scotland. Very little terrain gets untouched. Rationale for all new additions, and photos for a good bunch.
Then, I share a long essay (of sorts, as always) on a handful of memorable trips I’ve taken throughout my life. I also share a bit of how my parents liked to travel, and specifically with me, which I think has definitely impacted me today. This was a really, really good reader request that I took a little leeway with and really enjoyed writing.
I think today’s a good one, my friends. It’s likely far too long for email, if so, you know what to do. I appreciate you so much, and Happy Hoteling!
For Consideration
The "Sex and Solitude” show by Tracey Emin here in Florence at the Palazzo Strozzi. I thought it was great.
The Sean Scully show at La Pedrera in Barcelona.
The new Hotel Wren in Twentynine Palms, California.
I have never wanted “curtains” more.
Mango has this really lovely sheer cardigan and this very good oversized striped polo sweatshirt.
Amber Vittoria is an artist who I’ve followed for a long time, and I just stumbled upon these perfect hair ties she makes.
I’m pretty obsessed with this oversized Polo elevated tote.
Happy Hoteling in the UK, Spring 2025 Edition
47 additions that I’m really excited about. I’ve been compiling this for quite some time, and wanted to finally just finish it so it can go to use. A whole lot of Special hotels! All sorts, really and truly. The additions have all been updated on the UK Hotel Google Map available for founding members, as well.
Enjoy!
