Author Biography

As Editor-in-Chief of boutique travel specialists Mr & Mrs Smith, Juliet Kinsman's job is to sample the high life in the name of travel-writing duty. She's lucky enough to regularly stay in some of the world's most stylish hotels and special vacation houses so that she can celebrate them in the unique invitation-only hotel collection, and she enjoys evangelizing about hospitality that exemplifies excellent attention to detail and nothing-is-too-much-trouble service. Since her childhood in Manhattan, she's enjoyed extended spells in India, Greece, Africa and Australia, but remains loyal to her West London neighborhood, which she celebrates in her local blog Park Life. In between sharing insider luxury travel secrets with The Times and Elle Decoration she obsesses over punctuation for their coffee-table guidebooks, and has co-presented a TV show for the Discovery Channel called "The Smiths' Hotels for 2".
