How we did it: like with our food/drink stories, we based everything first on experience. And so we asked our local editors for recommendations and once we built up enough of a list, we realized we should probably pass these on to everyone else.
In traveling around the country eating burgers and donuts and other things that make you look good in swimsuits, we realized that we constantly found ourselves trying to figure out the best boutique hotels to stay at in order to accomplish these things, and not really knowing who to trust.
