Bookish Hotels
Fitzgerald and the Plaza. Oscar Wilde and the Savoy. Allen Ginsburg and the Chelsea. The literary world and hotels have always walked arm and arm, but the hotels featured in this episode have taken it a step further, asking you to completely immerse yourself in literature. And we are more than happy to oblige! Listen on if you've ever wanted to curl up inside a bookshelf (you can – in Japan!) or if the Dewey Decimal System is your love language.

Hotels & The City
As we rewatched Sex and the City for the bajillionth time (recently released on Netflix!), we couldn't help but wonder – is there a hotel that matches the personality of each of our beloved fabulous foursome? A few martinis and bad renditions of the theme song later, and just like that, we had a list of hotels that scream Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte (and Big, Aidan, Steve, and Stanford, too).

Hotel Superstitions
Society is saturated with superstition, so of course hotels are no different! We can't guarantee it, but these superstitions just might make you feel a little more comfortable on your travels – and keep the resident spirits at bay.

One Star Reviews
We've covered some of the most expensive and luxurious hotels in the world, but what about the accommodations that get less than stellar reviews? From the annals of the internet, we bring you horror stories (alleged, of course) of filthy rooms, antagonistic staff, and wayward... monkeys?

Hotels for Lovers & Sinners
Love is in the air! Or is that sex? There's room for both at our collection of hotels for lovers ... and sinners. From a romantic trip to Charleston, SC, a la The Notebook to the Belle Epoque-inspired labyrinth of a former Paris brothel cum (ahem) hotel, we've got the foremost places to spend a little one-on-one time with your pleasure partner.
