The editor behind this research edition.
Alexandra BeaumontResearch edition · 15 October 2026A useful starting point
I edit The Holiday Edit around destination choices, hotel addresses and the practical details that help a trip come together. This edition brings together Kyoto and Koh Samui.
Research, clearly described
The hotel pages are research-based planning notes. They do not imply that I have stayed at each property, and they contain no invented ratings, rates or personal experiences.
A new editorial edition
Saved snapshots contain Japan and Thailand editorial categories, Kyoto craft walks and a Six Senses Samui feature. The new edition uses Kyoto and Koh Samui as supported geographic connections; it does not represent the former Cabinet of Curio shop or earlier editorial team. This edition does not claim continuity with former authors, businesses or contributors, or ownership of their material.
