Stephanie Johnnidis, Hotels Editor and Sherman's Travel veteran, has been covering the hotel beat since 2003. The New York native caught the travel bug while studying in London, jump-started her career at Budget Travel magazine, and has since been vetting hotels across the globe for Sherman's Travel magazine and website. Whether bunking down in an airy bungalow under the Costa Rican jungle canopy or beneath the vaulted ceilings of a former monastery restored to 5-star hotel brilliance, Stephanie is intent on discerning the exceptional from the ordinary. She's a stickler for comfy beds, smart design, and, above all, personality. Most Recent Trip: Anguilla. Next Trip: Morocco
