Some recommendations after my trip to Split! ✨

06/05/2024

Why do I always insist on airport transfers (and pre-arranged transportation in general) for my clients? 🚙

🌀 Peace of mind: No scrambling for taxis or navigating unfamiliar public transport after a long flight. You’ll arrive relaxed and ready to explore!

✨Personalized service: Professional drivers meet you right at arrivals after tracking your flight, provide you with cool refreshments, your preferred music, and ensure a stress-free start and end to your trip.

⏱️Time efficiency: Skip the lines and delays. Pre-booked rides get you to your destination faster, so you can start your holiday sooner.

🏎️Variety of options: From luxury sports cars to spacious vans, I’ll find the perfect fit for your group size and budget.

Maximize your precious holiday time by letting me help you plan every little detail like airport transfers! 🤍

Blessed to have the most wonderful clients in the industry! 🫶🏼

Megan and her husband wanted to visit her sister in law who is a professional volleyball player in Finland (she’s seriously the coolest!). We made sure they got to see her play as well as adventure into Lapland and Scandinavia! 🇫🇮

This weekend’s stay at The Dupont Circle Hotel in Washington DC was a masterclass in hospitality. It’s no surprise they were voted a Top 10 Hotel in the 2023 Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Awards.✨

Here’s why it should be on your radar:

⛲️Prime Dupont Circle Location: Situated right in the heart of the storied neighborhood, it offered easy access to everything from charming book cafes and second-hand boutiques to historic sites like the Phillips Collection.

🧖🏼‍♀️Luxurious Comfort: Despite having over 300 rooms, each suite felt like a home away from home. The rooms were an oasis of calm, with incredibly comfortable beds and beautifully open bathrooms. The design seamlessly blends contemporary style with a charming mid-century aesthetic, creating a truly unique ambiance.

🍝Foodie Paradise: I was spoiled for choice with the hotel’s Michelin-recommended restaurant and trendy bar on-site. But the surrounding Dupont Circle neighborhood is a haven for restaurants and nightlife, so there’s something for every palate.

11/10 recommend for trendy travelers. The Dupont Circle Hotel is perfect for those seeking a luxurious and convenient base for exploring Washington DC! 🏛️

More than just a place to stay, these independent, boutique hotels are an experience ✨

Last week I got to meet with representatives from each of these unique properties during the and I was blown away!

🎷Gold-Diggers: Equal parts boutique hotel, bar, venue, and recording studio, the perfect place to unleash your inner starlet or rockstar. Built in 1925 the property has been a major part of Hollywood history. Sip vintage cocktails in the speakeasy, channel your creativity in the recording studios, and simply enjoy the sounds of the intimate gigs by rising stars. Whether you’re a music lover, a history buff, or simply a seeker of unique experiences, Gold-Diggers has a melody waiting just for you.

🐅Blind Tiger: An 1881 grand brick mansion that is purely a love letter to Burlington. Each room has unique decor and amenities as well as a personal host, a local tastemaker. They curate your experience, suggesting hidden gems and secret spots. Discover the city through their eyes, savor Vermont’s culinary bounty, and soak in the endless views of Lake Champlain.

⛲️Le Playa Carmel: Once a luxurious mansion built in 1905 by an artist as a gift to his wife, a member of the Ghirardelli family, for over 100 years La Playa has been known as the “Grande Dame of Carmel.” Newly restored, the artist’s home-turned-hotel offers a modern luxury experience intertwined with historic charm. Guests are treated with amenities such as a champagne breakfast buffet, nightly fresh-baked Ghirardelli chocolate chip cookies, and “Dime Time” at the in-house bar, Bud’s. A former owner’s tradition of 10 minutes every day all cocktails are 10 cents!

If you’re looking for a truly special hotel experience, I’d love to book you at one of these incredible boutiques. The team at each location is absolutely wonderful and will make your next trip unforgettable! 💫

What's the foodiest city in Europe? 🍝

Seems impossible to pick one, but Travel & Leisure chose San Sebastian, Spain ✨

Why?

San Sebastian is a coastal city in Northern Spain that has over 100 Michelin star restaurants, picturesque architecture, and stunning beaches. 🏄‍♀️

If you thought tapas were amazing, you have to try San Sebastian's pintxos! They are essentially tapas served on toast with a skewer. Other famous dishes include creamy basque cheesecake and txuleton, which is Spanish style grilled beef steak. 🥩

San Sebastian is a quick train ride from Madrid, Bordeaux, and many other foodie destinations. Next foodie tour, add San Sebastian to your itinerary! 🍤

Not all hotel bookings are created equal... After working in the travel industry, I've discovered hotels have an internal "hierarchy" of guests based on how they booked their reservation. 🛎️ Top level: Guests who booked their reservation through a travel professional with industry connections 2nd level: Guests who booked their reservation directly through the property 3rd level: Guests who booked their reservation through Amex, Chase, or other credit cards 4th level: Guests who booked their reservation through a budget site such as Expedia, Booking.com, etc If complimentary breakfast, resort credits, surprise gifts, and free upgrades don't matter to you, then disregard this post. However, if you want to maximize your stay and receive VIP service, reach out to me today! ✨

How do I choose hotels for my clients? ✔️ I just got back from visiting several different luxury hotels and resorts and wanted to fill you in on my process!
