The writers who sleep where they write

We are a small desk. Every byline you see on a review page belongs to someone who packed a bag, took the key, and stayed overnight. Below are the voices behind our Canadian hotel coverage.

Ingrid Kowalski

Contributing travel journalist

Ingrid hunts down the small comforts that decide whether a stay feels kind. She writes about pillows, breakfast light, and the welcome at the desk the way a friend would — unhurried, cosy, and focused on whether you would truly rest.

Her notes favour hospitality over spectacle. If a room feels like a soft landing after a long road, she will tell you so without raising her voice.

Anouk Vance

Luxury stays editor

Anouk cares most about honest hospitality — staff who remember a name, rooms that keep their composure after dark, and service that does not need to announce itself. Her sentences stay short. The confidence is quiet.

She reviews without clamour. When something nags, she names it once, in proportion, and moves on.
