Meet Lauren Harano

Contributing Writer

California-born, New York–based, and forever chasing the next check-in, Lauren Harano is a travel journalist with nearly a decade of experience writing for both glossy magazines and digital publications. Her work has appeared in some of her favorite outlets, including (but not limited to) Conde Nast Traveler, National Geographic, and Travel + Leisure. She covers everything from five-star stays and scene-stealing restaurants to iconic destinations that deserve a spot on every traveler’s list. A boutique hotel expert and fan of the finer things in life, Lauren knows exactly what makes a stay unforgettable from check-in to check-out. When she’s not writing or interviewing sources, she’s likely scouting the perfect hotel for her next adventure, finding cats in every city she visits, or adding to her extensive (yet very curated) restaurant list.
