The Hotel Poet
Poets experience life differently, absorbing teensy sensory details most folks miss. We see spigot sheens and smell the pillow’s floral perfume whiff. Appreciating minutiae transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary memories and travel from an activity into an experience.
The Hotel Poet is a written word tour guide that curates trip experiences. Like other hotel review sites, this one will help you decide where to go and where to stay. But unlike other sites, the Hotel Poet’s creative travel guides help you see the world – and thus, travel – differently.
Travel Differently
See the world.
FORGET TRAVEL ESSENTIALS
Hotel Poet travel guides cover what everyone else forgot to review. I’m talking granular, diagnostic, nook and cranny, gold-locket-in-sidewalk-crack kind of writing. You won’t find it anywhere else.
This means when you journey vicariously via the Hotel Poet, you’ll find answers to questions you didn’t know you had about your destination. I’ll tell you everything about where I’ve been, so you know it all before you go.
Travel Vicariously
Know everything before you go anywhere.
LEARN HOW TO STAY, AWAY
Ever gone sight-seeing inside your hotel room? Smell-smelling around a casino? Welcome to traveling creatively with the Hotel Poet. Even if you’re on a budget, both the beaten paths and the roads less taken gleam with potential adventure gems.
After all, poets don’t earn much, so I’ve learned how to extract the most out of traveling with very little. Like any good book, the landscape is just waiting to be read, so open the first page and get ready to roam like a poet.
