The Small Luxury Travel List
Tiny upgrades that make every journey feel more considered.
At a Glance
- Choose small luxuries
Luxury often has very little to do with price. It is usually found in preparation - small comforts, thoughtful choices.
Choose Small Luxuries
Fresh flowers in the hotel room where appropriate, breakfast before the crowds, a linen shirt, a beautiful notebook, a train instead of another short flight where practical, fresh fruit from a market, one excellent pastry, reading before bed, and an afternoon with no plans.
Many travellers are increasingly choosing journeys that prioritise the experience itself - including rail travel, local food and slower itineraries - rather than trying to maximise the number of destinations visited.
Pair It With
Luxury is often nothing more than enough time to enjoy ordinary things.
