10 Rooms or Less: The Restaurant with Rooms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is there anything better than enjoying a cozy meal, maybe a couple drinks, then stumbling upstairs into bed? I think not. Welcome to the second installment of my 10 Rooms or Less series where I share soulful hotels with 10 rooms or less. For the first installment, we ventured to Portugal for my picks of the best small hotels the country has to offer. This one is less about geography and more about the theme.

While we adore Kauai and there is nowhere else in the United States I’d rather live at the moment, we’ve toyed with the

Read excerpt
One of the things I love most about hotels is that they have the ability to transport. Notice I said ability. I’m not the kind of traveler who seeks out expensive hotels just for the sake of it. Believe it or not, I actually love saving money. But if I am shelling out the big bucks I want to feel fully immersed in whatever world I’m setting into for a few nights.
