Exclusive & Experiential
Let’s face it, travel in 2017 may be popular, but it’s not considered a luxury anymore; it’s accessible to everyone. So when we look at curating journeys and designing itineraries, it’s all about the experiences and not just the destinations. Been there, done that, is the most popular refrain of the well-heeled and the well-travelled Indians today, so the idea is to offer something exceptional. What’s trending today with our guests are out-of-reach experiences that we research and provide, based on vast global knowledge and network of partners around the world.
BESPOKE EXPERIENCES
It’s not so much about accessibility, as it is about exclusivity and curating experiential extravaganzas that surprise and delight. For instance, a VIP entry to the Sistine Chapel and a private viewing of the famed Bramante Staircase in the Vatican Museums or a specially crafted Parisian gourmet walk. If drink is your poison, discover the passion of cider-making in Norway or sample local wines with a rustic antipasti lunch, prepared by the owners of Villa Machiavelli in where else but Italy.
For immersive local experiences steeped in tradition, sip tea in a Moroccan home, in the traditional style with the family. Imagine the joys of unrestricted, private visits to galleries and exhibits with expert curators or enjoying the intimacy of behind-the-scenes tours of some of the most famous stage shows in Las Vegas.
INTIMATE IS BIG
Rather than be boxed in cookie-cutter international hotel chains, the discerning traveller is including smaller and more boutique properties to stay in to experience intimate living. Today, it’s all about a hand-crafted selection of hotels that promise that something extra. In choosing hotels for our guests, we look for real character, history and a sense of style. And we insist on exceptional comfort. Our hotel hot list includes the Alvear Art Hotel in Buenos Aires, because of its minimalistic design and access to Gallerias Pacifico. We also recommend Ashford Castle, former home of the Guinness family, or the Villa des Orangers in Marrakech, located in the heart of the most bustling square or the Lungarno in Florence, because it’s only steps away from the Ponte Vecchio and offers views that are too perfect to paint. Exclusivity is at the heart of any unique experience, and today, intimate is big when it comes to choosing curated travel.
