The end of January is a strange time, right? The blur of the holidays is long past, though the shock of the cold sure isn't going anywhere. I can't complain, though: Right after the new year, I took off on a TPG trip that offered me the chance to finally check into The Madrid Edition (which has one of the most suave lobbies in the world), explore some beautiful riads in Morocco and then spend 24 glorious hours at La Mamounia in Marrakech.
It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.
No matter where in the world I go or what time zone I'm occupying, though, the hotel industry news keeps coming fast — and January was no exception. On the Marriott front, a safari camp in Tanzania became bookable with Marriott Bonvoy points, Six Senses announced it was heading to southern Utah and Hilton launched a new apartment-focused brand, among many other stories.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
