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

key “PRINCE ALBERT II, those who mourned the loss earlier this year of the M/S Explorer, the beloved ship that pioneered wildlife cruises to the Antarctic, will be heartened by the news that Silversea’s Prince Albert II will begin “expedition” cruises to the most far-flung regions of the world in summer 2008. The 6,072-ton vessel, with an ice-strengthened hull, will contain oceanview accommodations for 132 passengers. Expert naturalists and distinguished guest lecturers will accompany every voyage.”
