Site for Boutique Hotels Widens Scope

Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a London-based travel publisher and hotel reservations service that specializes in boutique hotels, has recently extended its collection of over 400 properties in Britain, Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, Australia, South America and the Caribbean to include selections in the United States.

The company, founded in 2003, sends style-savvy reviewers — including fashion designers, actors, chefs, novelists and advertising executives — across the world to locate and to write about properties that are up to Smith snuff, including La Luna, a small hotel owned by Italians but situated in Grenada.

A $20 membership gives travelers access to a complete list of recommendations and to perks like last-minute deal announcements, free bottles of Champagne upon arrival, and room upgrades or discounts (www.mrandmrssmith.com).
