Last year during the lockdown, we started our “Let’s stay in bed & watch films all day” series, featuring our must-watch films that will take you from Tuscany to Japan and far far away from home. To revisit this series, we will now share them on Sundays at the Journal.

Hôtel Weekend

Travel for yourself, not for others. Embrace a slower pace and get to know the heart of your destination. Walk barefoot and tilt your head up to the sun. Enjoy the journey itself; take a road trip, sit in the window of a train or on the deck of a boat. Seek out hidden gems and soak up the atmosphere. Set your out of office. Make memories you'll treasure.
