where our clients are staying - october 2023

Each month, we have so many clients staying at luxury properties in our portfolio that it’s hard to choose which ones to feature. This month, we’ve booked some of our favorite hotels in the world for clients. But we’re also excited about some newer bookings in our portfolio!

Lucknam Park Hotel, Bath, United Kingdom

Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa, six miles east of Bath, is the embodiment of country-house living, with an equestrian center, football pitch, cycling trails, and tennis courts. The 42 individually styled rooms and suites, along with 7 country cottages, are perfect for families, small groups, or an indulgent couples retreat. The Hideaway is a haven for quality family time. After exploring the countryside on horseback, return to your bedroom for a soak in the bath. Head to the spa for its treatments from 111 Skin or Natural Spa Factory. Enjoy casual dining in The Brasserie or fine dining in the Michelin-starred Restaurant Hywel Jones.

When our clients stay at The Lucknam Park, our VIP amenities will attach to the reservation, including:

  • Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability

  • Daily Breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom

  • A champagne afternoon tea for two set up on the Parkland. (In the event of wet weather the same will be served in our glorious drawing room, must have minimum value of $100 USD equivalent)

  • Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability

  • Complimentary Wi-Fi

Pro-tip: The grounds are the ideal place to try British country pursuits – think horseback riding, falconry, and clay pigeon shooting.

Sina Centurion Palace, Venice, Italy

With its prime location on Venice’s Grand Canal, Sina Centurion Palace has some pretty famous neighbors, including the Guggenheim and Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute. But that’s not the only reason you’ll love it. Each of the 50 rooms and suites has its own personality, featuring vibrantly colored walls, elaborate patterns, and bespoke furnishings. Be sure to make reservations at the right-on-the-water restaurant, Antinoo’s, an intimate venue serving must-try Italian and Mediterranean specialties.

Our clients will receive VIP amenities through our Virtuoso program, including:

  • Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability

  • Daily Buffet Breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom

  • Complimentary lunch or dinner for up to two guests per bedroom, once during stay (excludes alcohol, taxes and gratuities, must have minimum value of $100 USD equivalent)

  • Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability

  • Complimentary Wi-Fi

Pro-Tip: Sina Centurion Palace typically hosts exclusive events during the Venice Film Festival (held in late August, early September), welcoming celebrities like Al Pacino, Naomi Watts, and James Franco.

Salamander Resort and Spa, Washington, District of Columbia

We had a terrific meeting with our partners at Salamander last month, when we were at Virtuoso Travel Week. I can’t begin to tell you how passionate we are about partnering with this resort. This is the former Mandarin Oriental property in DC, which is in the process of being fully renovated, with a lot of exciting things on the horizon. We’re not going to spoil the surprises, but let’s just say that we’re really excited to partner with Salamander.

Our clients will receive the following amenities:

  • Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability

  • Daily Buffet breakfast for two guests per bedroom, served in Hotel restaurant

  • $100 USD Food & Beverage credit to be utilized during stay (not combinable, no cash value if not redeemed in full)

  • Early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability

  • Complimentary Wi-Fi
