The wonderful man in the middle who is making us all feel better about our height, is Kees (Godfather Kees). Kees is the director of sales for Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam which is one of the best luxury hotels in Amsterdam.

We have amazing relationships with all of our Virtuoso partners and they are all eager to put smiles on your face as well.

Our first day of meetings was intense but very productive. We let loose at a few parties last night including our own Aspire Associates Group party where we hosted all of our beloved favorite suppliers. We even dropped by party to see infamous men and women of Red Carnation Hotels
