What is Luxe2Local all about? And why should I be following?
Luxe2Local is for travellers who appreciate quality without the fluff. We create thoughtful travel guides that blend style, local knowledge, and real experiences. Whether it’s a hidden boutique stay or a perfectly-paced itinerary, we focus on details that make a trip genuinely memorable.
We help savvy travellers enjoy luxury adventures and save money through trusted tips based on in-depth research and first-hand experience.
Are your travel guides written from first-hand experience?
Yes. The majority of our content is based on places, hotels and restaurants we’ve visited or destinations we’ve researched in depth. We only share recommendations we’d trust ourselves — no filler, no generic lists pulled from search engines.
How often do you publish new articles or guides?
We aim to publish new content every couple of weeks. That includes travel itineraries, destination highlights, accommodation picks and planning advice. If you’d like updates, our email list and Instagram are the best places to stay in the loop.
Do you cover solo travel, couples trips, or family travel?
All of the above. Luxe2Local isn’t about one way to travel — it’s about travelling well, whether that’s a long weekend for one, a special trip with a partner, or a slow-paced family adventure. We write guides that suit different styles, with an emphasis on quality and purpose.
How do you choose hotels and destinations to feature?
We look for places with personality — boutique hotels, independent stays, places rooted in their community. Comfort and design matter, but so does how a place feels and what it offers beyond the usual. We favour quality over trend. With over 30+ years experience around the globe as a professional hotelier and restaurateur, we know where to look, what to seek out and exactly what makes the grade!
Do you make money from the links on your site?
Sometimes. Some of our links are part of affiliate programmes, which means we may earn a small commission if you book through them — at no extra cost to you. These links never influence our recommendations. We will ALWAYS disclose the nature of any relationship and independence in our reviews. Full details can also be seen in our Affiliations Disclaimer.
Can I request a destination or topic?
Definitely. We’re always open to suggestions — just send us a message or leave a comment. If there’s somewhere you’d love to know more about, we’ll do our best to cover it.
Can I contribute or work with Luxe2Local?
We’re open to working with others who share our values — whether you’re a local guide, creative, or ethical travel brand. If you’re interested in contributing or collaborating, simply drop us a line. We’re always keen to share and feature content or partnerships that feel genuinely aligned and add to our audience experience.
How can I find the best business and first class flight deals?
Use a combination of meta-meta search engines for flights, specialist travel agents with unpublished fares, and consider geo-arbitrage by booking from cheaper departure cities. Set fare alerts and be flexible with routes and dates.
What’s the safest way to book mistake fares or flash sales?I
Book immediately when you spot them, but always read the fare rules carefully. Mistake fares can be canceled by airlines, so have flexible plans and avoid non-refundable add-ons.
How do reward seat redemptions work and how can I maximize them?
Use flexible points from credit cards or hotel programs, book early for popular routes, and consider partnering programs to get cheaper awards on the same flights.
Is hidden-city ticketing a good travel hack?
It can save money but carries risks such as canceled connecting flights and no checked baggage. Only use it with carry-on luggage and understand the possible downsides.
What are the best travel tips for avoiding common pitfalls when booking flights?
Always compare prices across multiple platforms, check baggage fees and layover times, read cancellation policies thoroughly, and monitor fares often before buying.
What are the best strategies for last-minute travel deals?
Consolidators, specialist agents, and flexible travel dates can offer significant savings. Signing up for newsletters and fare alerts from major airlines helps catch flash sales.
