I am the editor of Andrew Harper’s Hideaway Report, a luxury
travel newsletter that first appeared in 1979. I travel anonymously and pay full rate. Hotels have no idea who I am, or that
I am there to write a review. In other words, I am treated exactly
as you might be. Today, this approach is extremely unusual.
Most other travel publications and websites, even well-known
and well-respected ones, accept discounted rates or free
accommodations, which can color their judgment.
Each year, I conduct a survey of my subscribers’ favorite
hotels. Hideaway Report readers are the most enthusiastic and
knowledgeable luxury travelers in the world; they vacation an
average of 35 days a year, and 33 percent plan to travel more
in the coming year. Their favorite countries are Italy, France
and England, but I also learned of travel plans that ranged
from Australia to Zambia. Every year, the survey offers some
surprises in addition to perennial favorites.
This year, perhaps the most astonishing result was that
California’s Post Ranch Inn was voted No. 1 U.S. Hideaway for
the sixth time in a row! Two of my personal favorites — Ireland’s
Ballyfin Demesne and Zarafa Camp in Botswana — made it
onto the list of top International Hideaways for the first time. As
was the case in 2012, the favorite new discovery was Amangiri
in Utah. In addition to classic hideaways with fewer than 99
rooms in the United States and abroad, here you will find lists
of favorite beach resorts, city hotels, family escapes, food and
wine properties, golf destinations and spas.
More information about each hotel is available by clicking on its
name in green.
