Crowne Plaza Changi Airport Review: The World’s Best Airport Hotel?
Here’s something I’ve never understood about US airport hotels: why are so few of them actually connected to the airport? You land, you’re exhausted, and instead of just walking to your room, you’re standing outside waiting 30 to 60 minutes for a shuttle. Then you ride the shuttle for another 10 to 15 minutes just…

Moto Tag 2 Review: Faster, last longer, and more reliable
I’ve been using the first-generation Moto Tag for about a year now, tucked into the same backpack pocket on every trip. I still think it’s the best AirTag alternative in the Android space, but there were a few rough edges I’d quietly made peace with. Motorola built the Moto Tag 2 to sand those down.…

Park Hyatt New York Review: The Best Room I’ve Ever Barely Used
I have a general rule: the higher the luxury tier, the steeper the diminishing returns. I was curious to see whether that theory holds true for a Park Hyatt. What I found was harder to answer than I expected, and not for the reasons I anticipated. This was my first Park Hyatt, and it was…

Samsung Galaxy Fold7 Review: Chasing Thinness
I’ve thought long and hard about how I wanted to write this review. The Galaxy Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra are right around the corner, with a better ultrawide, a rumored battery bump, and a telephoto I’ve been hoping for since the Fold5. I’ll have thoughts on it when it’s in my hands. But that’s not…

Andaz Singapore Review: A Hotel I’d Book Again Without Hesitation
Five properties across three continents, and Andaz has never once felt like a chain. Each one takes on the neighborhood around it rather than importing a template into it. Singapore was no different. Andaz Singapore sits on levels 25 through 39 of the DUO tower. Whether it’s your first time in Singapore or your fifth,…

Hyatt Centric City Centre Kuala Lumpur Review: A Category 1 Steal in the Heart of KL
Kuala Lumpur kept showing up in my feeds, and the food alone was enough to make me book a ticket. I hadn’t spent much time in Southeast Asia and wanted to change that, so I planned a north-to-south trip: Penang first, then KL, ending in Singapore. My instinct for the hotel was to go big.…

Cheong Fatt Tze – The Qing Suites Review: Penang’s Most Unique Heritage Hotel
The first thing that stops you is the door. Not a lobby, not a check-in desk. Just a set of traditional double doors set into a narrow five-foot way on Leith Street, with a raised concrete threshold at the base. In Chinese tradition, that threshold marks the boundary between the outside world and the sanctity…

The Golden Era of Hyatt Redemptions Is Over. Here’s What Comes Next
For years, if someone asked me which hotel loyalty program was the best value in the points space, the answer was easy: World of Hyatt. No question. Simple award chart, predictable pricing, a rock-solid transfer partnership with Chase Ultimate Rewards or Bilt Points, and enough aspirational properties to keep any traveler dreaming. It was the…
