The Hotel Guru was founded by Fiona Duncan and Leonie Glass and now includes over a dozen leading hotel critics and journalists working for the UK press.

Fiona has been investigating, evaluating and reviewing hotels for 20 years and her research has been published in numerous hotel guides, travel guides and travel articles. Fiona and Leonie were joint series editors of the Charming Small Hotel Guides, researching and writing about hotels of character across Europe and in the US. To compile the Charming Small Hotel Guide to Venice, for example, Fiona spent 27 consecutive nights in 27 different Venetian hotels – still her record!

In 1998 Fiona began contributing regular travel features to the Sunday Telegraph and is now the paper’s chief hotel critic, writing in the Travel section about hotels all over the world. Her weekly column about British hotels is called The Hotel Guru.

In 2006 she and Leonie launched thehotelguru.com, and this blog will host news and reviews from the many professional contributors who review hotels for the hotel guru website.
