Winning a national magazine award is nothing to sneeze at, but the staff at Virtuoso felt especially proud when the company’s flagship publication, VIRTUOSO LIFE, won “Best Consumer Travel Magazine” in the 2009 FOLIO awards, beating out competitors like National Geographic Traveler and Travel + Leisure .

One of the most important (and most debated) decisions of each issue involves determining the cover image. For the May issue of Virtuoso Life , we knew the image would show a Virtuoso hotel – it’s the Hotel Issue, after all, and the feature “Small Wonders: 20 intimate hotels, villas, and lodges worth adding to your short list” provided options aplenty. Our editorial and creative team consulted with the Virtuoso Hotels and Resorts team to help us choose which of 1,200 hotels to include – in fact, half of our hotels have fewer than 100 rooms. The editorial team presented three top contenders to Virtuoso’s Member Marketing Committee, an elected group of advisors that essentially serves as our publications’ editorial advisory board. “The advisors loved all of them for different reasons,” says editorial dir...
