Mr & Mrs Smith

Mr & Mrs Smith is a travel publisher and hotel reservation service specializing in boutique, private, and small luxury hotels. James Lohan and Tamara Heber-Percy, a husband and wife combination from London, founded the firm in 2003. It currently has offices in Melbourne, serving the Asia-Pacific area, and New York City, covering North and South America. In 2005, the firm debuted its booking service, and it now has over 850 hotel members globally.

Mr & Mrs Smith specializes in elite, ultra-luxurious lodgings for the discriminating visitor, with roughly 1,700 hotels and villas on its carefully picked list. Instead of paying to be included on the site, hotels must be invited after passing an anonymous review by one of the company's in-house travel professionals. The verification procedure is stringent, so only the finest of the best luxury hotels are included on the site.

The majority of the listings are boutique hotels, and several provide one-of-a-kind amenities, such as treehouse hotels and tropical getaways with both overwater and underwater rooms. Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a membership club; however, first-time members are free. As a member, you'll get year-round deals and experiences and a Smith Extra with every stay, which may be as luxurious as a complimentary spa treatment or a bottle of champagne. The website guarantees the lowest price and does not charge booking fees.
