A record of the places worth the journey.

Covet began as a printed title for a small circle of readers who wanted one thing from a magazine: an honest account of whether a place was worth the flight. That has not changed. What has changed is how quickly the world hears about a hotel, and how rarely it hears the truth about one.

We cover the properties that define the category and the openings that will, the destinations the world already covets, and the corners of them that stay quiet. St Tropez in August, and St Tropez in May. Courchevel in the season, and the valley in June. We are interested in the hour you are given back, not the marble in the lobby.

Every story is reported in person, or not published. We take no payment for coverage, and we say so when a link earns us a commission.
