Andrew Harper editor video highlights from 2025

CELEBRATING ANOTHER SPECTACULAR YEAR OF TRAVEL

Our 2025 winners demonstrate the ongoing strength of classic leisure destinations like Switzerland, Italy and the French Riviera. But of course, great hotels aren’t confined to stops on the Grand Tour. Our favorite discoveries in the past year include a magnificently restored palace in the Indian countryside, a hilltop aerie in the Caribbean and — this year’s Hideaway of the Year — a luxury resort on the coast of Montenegro. At all of these properties, we posed as Andrew Harper members, keeping our true identities secret, and we paid the regular rate. Few companies are still willing to incur such expenses, but we’re proud to carry on the tradition of undercover travel that dates to the Hideaway Report’s founding in 1979.
