WHAT IS ANDREW HARPER?
Authentic, honest reviews, since 1979
For over 40 years, our editors have traveled the globe incognito to discover exceptional hideaways and experiences for Andrew Harper members.
“The idea for this newsletter back in 1979 — to share information about peaceful and unspoiled sanctuaries with a limited and compatible group of sophisticated travelers — remains at the core of its identity today.”

“I had heard rumblings that the long-recommended property had faded a bit, so it was time for an anonymous reassessment. I’m pleased to say that the rumors of this hotel’s decline are much exaggerated.”
