The Velour Letter

Letters from
places worth finding

First-hand accounts from Mr. Kim and Coco. Not rankings. Not listicles. Letters.

Ubud · Bali · Indonesia

Bill Bensley built a camp in the jungle and called it luxury. The tents are made of copper and bamboo. The rain is part of the experience.

Medina · Marrakech · Morocco

A roar of deep red, and all the noise of the medina absorbed to nothing. The riad doesn't announce itself. It waits for you to find the door.

Brooklyn · New York · USA

The Manhattan skyline through floor-to-ceiling glass. Reclaimed timber, living walls, and a rooftop pool that makes the city feel quieter than it is.

Centro Storico · Rome · Italy

Via del Governo Vecchio, and a talking statue that has had opinions since the sixteenth century. G-Rough does not explain itself. Neither does Rome.
