Condé Nast Traveler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Condé Nast Traveler is an American magazine published by Condé Nast Publications, started in 1987 and specializing in luxury travel and reviews of high-priced hotels, products, and services. The magazine also aims a proportion of its space at business travelers.

In addition to writing about various exotic locales so that readers may consider them for destinations, it also rates travel facilities such as hotels and airlines. Portland International Airport in Portland, Oregon has been rated the best U.S. Airport two years in a row, for 2006 and 2007.

The subtitle of the magazine is "Stylish Guides for Discerning Travelers." The high-end magazine publishes reviews of only the best hotels in the world, and the advertisements in the magazine are for consistently luxury brands, including Chanel, Bulgari, Jaguar, Mercedes, and Dolce and Gabbana.

Every month, the magazine has a "Where Are You?" contest, wherein readers have to guess the pictured location based on cryptic clues. Each monthly winner wins $1,000; they are then entered into the annual grand prize drawing for a $10,000 vacation.

Condé Nast Traveler is produced at Condé Nast Publications' U.S. headquarters at 4 Times Square, New York, NY.

There is also a UK edition, produced from Condé Nast's offices at Vogue House in London. The most noticeable difference is that this edition uses the British spelling for the title: Condé Nast Traveller. The format and content are very similar to the U.S. edition.
