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 BIG EZ LODGE, we hear that this renowned Montana property is currently for sale. A “Hideaway of the Year“ in 2000 and a “Reader’s Choice” in 2007, it is situated atop a 7,500-foot ridge overlooking the majestic Madison Range, adjacent to Big Sky ski resort and Yellowstone National Park. Set on a 60-acre estate, the property consists of three distinct Western-style lodges, with a combined total of 13 bedrooms. It also includes an 18-hole putting course and a trout pond. Owing to its seclusion and the beauty of the setting, it would doubtless be ideal as a family compound or corporate retreat.”
