Web Buzz: Hotel Haiku: Reviews in 17 syllables

Share

Why? Because every hotel stay should be poetic.

Name: https://www.hotelhaiku.com

What it is: A niche website with hotel photos and reviews written in the traditional haiku format of 17 syllables in three lines of five, seven and five words.

What’s hot: Expect the unexpected. My hotel haiku exploration led me to beds in luxe concrete sewer pipes in Tepoztlán, Mexico, and contemporary cottages on a breathtaking mountain ridge in Leti, India. From the brains behind Holiday Pad — I love that the Web group is growing and is adding a “glamping” site called https://www.camp-bling.com.

What’s not: The word “notel” is confusing and not necessary. We get that the transcendentally cool accommodations aren’t your typical hotel.
