Where to Stay: Our Mid-Range & Luxury Accommodations Guides

Last Updated:

One of the things I love most about planning a trip is planning out where to stay. In the past, I’d leave this critical travel planning step to chance. Armed with a plane ticket and a reservation for only one night, I’d venture off to my destination, not knowing what my first travel day would hold.

Fortunately, I soon smartened up.

Perhaps it’s getting older (and, hopefully, wiser!), but I’ve since moved beyond the happy-go-lucky, sleep-on-anything philosophy that ruled my more youthful travels.

Unlike when I first started Treksplorer, I no longer stay in hostels. These days, I prefer the comforts of mid-range luxury hotels or apartment rentals to cramped shared quarters in budget accommodations. (In fact, it’s the main reason I’ve always travelled part-time rather than full-time!)

As mid-range luxury travellers ourselves, we’ve created all our where to stay guides with, well, other travellers like us in mind. In each of the guides below, we give recommendations on our favorite areas and hotels in some of our favorite cities around the globe.

Let’s see what the world has in store for you!
