A year ago, we invited a small group of LINEAR readers to plan a trip with us. The idea was simple: take the same eye we bring to curating places online and use it to help people experience them in the real world.
Since then, we’ve planned weekends in Mexico City, a honeymoon through Japan, and a journey across the Swiss Alps by train, with preferred rates and perks like complimentary upgrades, property credits, breakfast, and late check-out.
You signed up to hear more about Concierge, so consider this a reintroduction: we’re ready to plan your next trip.
Each month, we’ll share a some inspiration — stays we’re excited about, destinations worth planning around, and ideas for where to go next. But you don’t need to wait for something here to catch your eye. Whenever you’re planning a trip, reply to this email, or send a note to [email protected]. We’ll help you find LINEAR-worthy stays, secure preferred rates and perks, and send you curated recommendations from our network of architects, designers, and locals who know the place.
For now, here are for stays on our desk.

AUTUMN IN KYOTO
Maana has several stays around Kyoto, each offering a contemporary take on the traditional machiya. We’d be excited to stay in any of them, but we’re especially drawn to the darker, moodier vibes of Maana Kamo. Maana also hosts experiences around Kyoto, including a koji fermentation workshop — on us when you book through Concierge.
