Key to LUXE’s success has been its commitment to convenience, achieved not only by cutting out the swathes of unnecessary info so many travel guides insist on including, but by making all the snazz, snark and snap you know and love available in interactive and easily navigable mobile guides. Why waste time reading endless reams of blah? If it's in LUXE, it's IN – nuff said.
When you're on the road, time is short, right? LUXE is TRUSTED for its extremely SELECTIVE and highly CURATED content – only the best spots make it into the guides and reviews are quickfire speed-reads that leave you enjoying the city not head down scrolling. Plus the app is 100% usable offline, which means you don't need a WiFi connection or have to pay exorbitant roaming fees to access all the essential info (sharing and updating excluded).

Amazing city guides for glam and trendy to local insider finds--always spot-on recommendations. Great map and distance function to locate that special restaurant or shop or bar or activity just around the corner. This app is for people who appreciate luxury and quality lifestyle and travel.

Don't bother with other shopping guides....the shops listed are exquisite
Current version is a rip off. One year access only!

I used to be a big Luxe guide fan. These little guides were useful, stored in my phone for easy reference and had some fantastic shopping and dining recommendations, and they were updated regularly. With a recent update, these guides are now $14.99 each and it expires after a year! I've also since realized there's nothing very special about their recommendations, with a little bit of effort, you can find them anywhere online for free! Sorry Luxe, you've just lost a user who used to buy your guides religiously! Update 31/7/17: my digital guides were accidentally removed due to a technical glitch. I've since received the guides back. Thanks Luxe, for the response and technical fix.
Never leads me astray - the BEST

I love LUXE guides and I've dutifully been using them for a decade. They've never let me down yet! I still think about this tiny shop in Dubai off the beaten path where I bought the most gorgeous silk tunics....sigh. The app is even better since you can make itineraries and lists and keep it all sorted on your mobile phone. I just came from Milan and used the LUXE guide...the bar and restaurants and things to do where all on point. Sometimes the app isn't correct about the neighborhood (Gino Sorbillo restaurant was absolutely NOT in the Duomo neighborhood) so make sure to double check locations on Google Maps or a similar app. Otherwise I'm thrilled with LUXE on my mobile!
Limited and disappointing

I bought the Barcelona guide and found it very disappointing, especially for the price. Several times we were in pretty basic neighborhoods (Barrio Gotic, El Born, Eixample) and found more to do from searching recent posts on local or travel blogs. For one restaurant recommendation, the name was completely wrong (or it closed). The focus seems to be more on curating a limited, exclusive, travel experience than on offering a wide variety of options.
Fellow Sophisticated Travelers: never leave home without it!
