Mallory Valdez

Travel Specialist

My interest in travel first began with an epiphany while driving along the California coast, where I realised that I always seek out the beauty in hidden places. As my passion grew, I joined the travel industry and I’m excited to now be a part of Mr & Mrs Smith. I’ve been so grateful to be able to share my inspiration with others and help members build memories that last a lifetime.

    Impeccably designed by American-born Kelly Wearstler, the attention to detail, refined textures, and vintage touches throughout this hotel create a personal atmosphere that embodies everything that is new in luxury travel. Coupled with welcoming hospitality and must-try food, the Proper Santa Monica screams perfection from the inside out.

    Hôtel Madame Rêve

    Located in the first arrondissement, this Parisian hotel is an iconic destination. The hotel spa is the perfect place to recharge after a day out and you can start your day with a sunrise yoga class on the garden roof deck.

  • Kos, Greece

    Sometimes less is more, and if you need a retreat to declutter and unwind then the Lango Design Hotel & Spa is the place for you. Watch the sun set over Kos from the steps of the private beach, or – for those who don’t want sandy feet – admire the views from the hotel’s poolside bar.

Travel Tips

Have a long flight ahead of you? Make sure to pack a hair and eye mask, as well as a chamomile tea for relaxation on arrival. I always need a good playlist, so don’t forget your headphones and a neck pillow to make the flight a little more comfortable.

  • Paris

    Photo of room

    I’ve visited Paris almost a dozen times and each trip feels like coming home: the joy of reading poetry in one of the city’s beautiful gardens, wandering to a local café, or going out for dinner with friends never diminishes. Time flies during my visits to the city of light.

  • Italy

    Photo of room

    Everyone I meet tells me that I need to visit Italy, and given my love for Italian cuisine I don’t doubt I would love it. I’m hoping to learn new recipes, visit the historic monuments, and soak up the beauty of the Italian landscapes.

  • Hawaii

    Photo of room

    Hawaii is a great place to get in touch with nature and experience authentic island life. I would love to learn more about the islands’ volcanoes and spend a trip soaking in some of the area’s famed thermal springs.
