How this roundup is built
Port de Provenance does not publish stay reviews based on personal travel. Each city deep-dive is assembled from each property's published facts, third-party press coverage (Michelin Guide, Wallpaper*, Hospitality Design, Mr & Mrs Smith), and current rate data from Booking.com aggregators. Properties are shortlisted on the strength of design, kitchen-equipped suite availability, work-suitable space, neighborhood walkability, and consistency of guest reviews. The full Verified Stay scorecard (cost, wifi, safety, social, vibe — sourced and rated 1–10) is reserved for properties we have researched to that standard. Roundup-level inclusion is a lower bar than Verified Stay scoring.
