Swank Guide

Curating the planet's best design hotels + jaw-dropping Airbnbs.

I think video’s the best way for you to discover a new hotel, and see if it’s right for you.  Planning travel can be overwhelming, and so much travel advice is gamed.  Before you pay, you deserve to know what you’re getting. 

I’m searching for the world’s best architecture, unique luxury stays, jaw-dropping Airbnbs, and affordable hidden gems.  I understand that there’s no one size fits all resort, so I’ll give you all the info you need to decide what’s best for you. I don’t accept hotel sponsorships and I test drive every hotel before I recommend it.

I’ll only recommend unique places, with great design, that I’d recommend to friends and family. 

I’d love to help you discover something different, and hopefully inspire your next vacation.
