Park Hyatt St. Kitts

I’m writing this blog pool-side at the Park Hyatt St. Kitts, taking in the views of Nevis in the distance.  Heaven!  The Park Hyatt St. Kitts is one of the newest luxury properties to open in the Caribbean and Park Hyatt’s first resort hotel in the Caribbean.  They opened their doors in time for festive business last November and have quickly put themselves on the map as an exciting, new 5 star option for the Caribbean luxury traveler.

Four Seasons Las Vegas

I recently returned from a trip to the US Southwest’s National Parks with my family, which began with a stay at the Four Seasons Las Vegas. I chose the Four Seasons Las Vegas because I’ve always felt it’s the best option for families in the city, and my stay confirmed it!

The Grill, The Dorchester

The Dorchester, London

London….one of the greatest cities in the world for five star hotels.  How does a luxury travel advisor pick one for an upcoming visit? Not an easy decision, but I knew exactly where I wanted to stay when I found out I had plans to visit the city. The Dorchester is one of London’s most iconic properties and had long been on my radar screen, so I jumped at the chance to book a room there!

A Tour of Peru with Belmond

I recently returned from an educational trip to the magical country of Peru.  Hosted by Belmond (formerly known as Orient Express), the purpose of my visit was to experience first-hand their collection of boutique properties, luxury trains and expert guiding services so I can better advise clients who want to travel to this intriguing part of the world.

Yellowstone Park

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

When my husband and I sat down this past winter to discuss possible destinations for our summer family trip, Jackson Hole, Wyoming quickly emerged as the winner. Between its breathtaking scenery, easy access to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, and endless options for family-friendly outdoor activities, it was an obvious great choice for our family of four.

Four Seasons Washington, D.C.

I just spent a few days at the Four Seasons Washington, D.C., one of the mid-Atlantic’s finest luxury properties located in the heart of Georgetown and a stone’s throw from most of the area’s top attractions. Able to support over 40 languages, it’s a home away from home to guests from all over the world – everyone from business professionals to diplomats to families like mine. My experience was exceptional in every way – it was an absolute treat to be a guest here!

Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman on Seven Mile Beach

Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman

My latest travels took me to the Caribbean island of Grand Cayman – a gem of a tropical destination best known for famous Seven Mile Beach, warm and friendly locals, and a fantastic dining and shopping scene. While I was there, I spent some time as a guest at the Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman, which lived up to every expectation I had about the property.
