Links We Love: Taylors of Harrogate's Grand Budapest-Inspired Bee Hotel (July 23, 2016)
British tea brand Taylors of Harrogate has built a hotel for bees (yes, bees!) inspired by Grand Budapest Hotel. The intricate construction, which features sugar water baths and an ultraviolet disco, is part of a campaign to raise awareness of the role bees play in adding flavor to food. (And fruit tea.) – Daniel, editorial assistant

The Standard is eliminating traditional check-in and check-out times. Guests can now choose to check in and out when they like. I'm hoping other hotel brands follow suit. – Berit
Keeping this link on my iPhone notepad: a very helpful guide to tipping (bellhops, concierge, safari guides, cruise directors) when you travel. – Jeralyn, editorial director
