Our reviewers

Since 2019, Ivory Seaside Towers has sent writers to sleep in the rooms before we publish a word. Meet the desk behind the bylines.

Freya Bellini

Food & hospitality writer

Freya has spent years on the road checking into hotels so readers do not have to guess. She notices the glow of a lobby at dusk, the snap of crisp sheets, and the little hospitality gestures that turn a booking into a memory.

Her voice stays bright and enthusiastic — upbeat, vivid, full of holiday excitement and sensory detail — whether she is writing about a casino weekend in Ontario or a lodge stop on the prairie.

Oscar Holloway

Senior hotel reviewer

Oscar writes candid, first-person reviews and is not afraid to point out the flaws. He travels like a well-seasoned friend — curious, warm, and more interested in how a place feels at midnight than in brochure language.

Expect personal storytelling: the evening hush, the breakfast table, the bathroom quirks, and whether he would send someone he likes back for another night.
