HOTEL LIBBY

Ladies and Gentlemen, Distinguished Guests….

Welcome to Hotel Libby—a dreamy destination where my favorite obsessions are at your service, no passport required.

After years of collecting extraordinary experiences, insider tips, and conversations worth savoring, I've decided to build them a home. Hotel Libby sits at the intersection of luxury and imagination—an exclusive address you won't find on Google Maps but will certainly bookmark in your mind.

Your Room Is Ready

Each month, I’ll check in via your inbox to share news, notes, and nonsense well positioned in each corner of the ‘hotel’ - here’s a preview of our fun ahead:

The Lobby Lounge — Sink into a cozy booth for intimate interviews with tastemakers, industry insiders, and fascinating personalities from my world. The lighting is perfectly dimmed, the fire is always crackling, and the conversation flows as smoothly as the libations.

The Concierge Desk — Consider this your personal travel advisory service. Destination insights, hotel recommendations, and insider tips that I usually reserve for my private clients.

The Kitchen — From crowd-pleasing dinner party menus to my signature Date Night IN series (because sometimes the best reservations are at home), expect favorite recipes that impress without intimidating.

The Bar — Each month brings a new signature cocktail paired with the perfect playlist. Whether you're entertaining a crowd or enjoying a quiet moment alone, our barkeeps have you covered.

The Gift Shop — Curated finds that have earned their space in my luggage, kitchen, or beauty closet. Each recommendation comes with a story and, often, an affiliate link (our bellhops thank you).

The Spa — A sanctuary for wellness wisdom, beauty discoveries, and the occasionally woo-woo (but always wonderful) rituals that keep body, mind and spirit in harmony.
