WHO IS ANDREW HARPER?

It’s a Mystery for a Reason…

Andrew Harper is the pseudonym of a gentleman traveler who, frustrated by commercially driven travel coverage, began writing his own candid reviews of smaller, unique hotels. The Hideaway Report, which began as a small newsletter for friends and family, is now one of the most distinct voices in luxury travel. Impatient with pretension and skeptical of passing trends, Andrew Harper has an abiding passion for classic hospitality and refined service amid peaceful surroundings. He is on the road for several months each year, and hotels are his second home.

The popular newsletter’s creator and editor in chief, whose real name is known but to God (and his wife), has paid his own way at thousands of hotels worldwide and published his impressions without fear or favor.— Forbes

Things You Should Know

key “THE PELHAM, It was a considerable surprise to learn of the sale of this charming boutique hotel, which for many years has provided a gracious home away from home at the heart of London’s South Kensington, close to the Victoria & Albert Museum and the fashionable shops of Fulham Road and Walton Street. The former owners, renowned hotel entrepreneurs Tim and Kit Kemp, will now concentrate on their new property in Manhattan, the Crosby Street Hotel, scheduled to open in March 2009.”
