“I am obsessed with @sujanluxury hotel in Jaipur, India. I am dying to visit and I am always looking at their Instagram for not only travel inspo but also design inspo! The hotel even has a room called ‘51 shades of pink.’ That in itself is a reason to follow.”

“@alongdustyroads – Not only is their art direction and photography incredible, but their eye for special, quiet moments take my breath away.”
Claire Zinnecker, Claire Zinnecker Design
“@camillestyles every travel Instagram/blog post is more than just a photo of a pretty place – it tells a story of the people and the environment there. I can read one of Camille’s travel stories and feel like I went for a visit myself (although I still always want to ACTUALLY go after seeing her photos!!)”
Ginny Macdonald, Ginny Macdonald Design
“My friend Will from @brightbazaar seems to always be on his jollys (vacation) and showing us his colorful trips abroad. Whether it’s a weekender to his country house or hopping over to the Balearic Islands, I want to be there! I also love @crazycatladyldn because she captures detailed interiors and exteriors that feature a lot in the UK – which is where I’m from.”

“I have SO many but I might say @tablethotels because I pretty much book all of my hotels through them. If they sanction the hotel then I know I will be happy! And I am one of those giant weirdos who will plan an entire vacation around what one specific hotel room in a random country looks like.”
Dan Mazzarini, BHDM Design
“@topparisphoto. Paris is my favorite city, and every time a photo pops up on my phone from them I’m like ‘Le Sigh…’ And @USinterior – this is the Insta for the US Dept. of the Interior, who manages all the national parks. I’m on a BIG natural landscape and national park kick right now, and the images of how gorgeous the nature of America is helps make me feel better about the state of the world and our country. Plus, it’s great for vacation planning!”
Susan Brinson, House of Brinson
“I love @elfennmarrakech. I’m pretty obsessed with this hotel and am dying to go to Marrakech.”
Paloma Contreras, Paloma Contreras Design
“@yolandaedwards account always inspires a major case of wanderlust! Edwards was previously the editor-in-chief of Conde Nast Traveler and recently started her own magazine, @yolo.journal which is filled with chic, inspiring places to add to your list of places to visit. Lauren Santo Domingo (@thelsd), the founder of @modaoperandi, is also a favorite as she jets around the world for fashion shows and other exclusive events all while dressed in the most fabulous wardrobe.”
