Monocle travel guide
With our ear constantly to the ground, Monocle introduces concept hotels in Spain and Japan, tailor-made trips to Portugal’s secret beaches, and other small businesses gaining popularity within their local communities.
Africa/Middle East
Iraq lures tourists with romantic nights in Saddam Hussein’s palace. Elsewhere, Lebanon restores a Jewish landmark and Botswana’s presidential elections get under way (though the job is likely in the bag).
Monocle travel guide
We at Monocle like simple things done well. This month we focus on the essentials: a perfectly brewed coffee, sharply curated retail, and two blissful hotels with unique local character.
