About us
A Swiss eye on global luxury
Elevatedliving is an independent magazine published from Switzerland. We write about the places, objects and rituals worth your attention — and we leave out the rest.
Luxury coverage has a volume problem. Most of it is written at a distance, from a press release, about somewhere the writer has never been. We work the other way round: we go, we look, and we publish only what we would recommend to a friend.
That is the whole editorial policy. Quality over quantity is not a slogan here — it is the reason a week can pass without a new hotel review.
What we cover
Travel, wellness, style, culture, architecture and design, and taste. Switzerland is where we live and where our judgment is sharpest; the rest of the world is where our readers go.
Who writes it
Stéphanie Kelly-Ortiz is our editor-in-chief. Every story carries a byline. Where a stay, a meal or a product was provided to us, we say so in the piece.
The Weekly Edit
Every week we publish one dispatch: four signals — an escape, an object, a ritual, an experience. It is the shortest way to know what has changed in this world in seven days.
Brands who want to reach this audience should read Partner with us. We keep that conversation on its own page, and out of the stories.
