Suzanne Saunders

Travel Editor

Suzanne Saunders is a genuine travel expert with a well-travelled eye for the places that stay with you long after check-out — the quiet terrace with the right view, the hotel that gets the details right, the table worth planning a trip around.

An accomplished writer with a warm, readable style, Suzanne turns a stay into a story you can picture yourself in. She writes about hotels she has genuinely experienced, weighing the atmosphere, the service and the small touches that separate a good stay from a memorable one, rather than simply repeating a brochure.

Food is a particular passion. Suzanne has a sharp knowledge of restaurants, regional cooking and hotel dining, and she is the person on the team you want to ask about where to eat, what to order and which tables are worth booking well in advance.

Above all, she is helpful. Suzanne answers reader questions generously, tests the practicalities — transfers, room choices, timings, what to pack, when to go — and shares the tips that make a trip run smoothly. Her goal is that readers arrive better prepared and leave with a hotel they would happily return to.
