Hello, I'm Elena.

"For a decade I've been travelling slowly, taking notes on hotels with soul and itineraries that respect the pace of each place."

Suites & Sunsets is my public notebook: the places I'd book myself, with the logistics I wish I'd had before setting off. Every entry starts on paper — addresses jotted on napkins and postcards kept in a drawer.

Editorial manifesto

01

Only what I'd book myself

Every hotel, tour or restaurant we recommend has been tested in person. If we wouldn't return, it isn't here.

02

Real logistics, not a postcard

Transport, timings, hazards and rough costs. Itineraries are measured, not idealised.

03

No press trips

Everything is paid for out of our own pocket or with clearly disclosed affiliate links. Nothing shapes the review.
