Design lovers, this is your Tokyo. At Aman, every Design lovers, this is your Tokyo. At Aman, every detail is deliberate: washi-paper walls, basalt stone soaking tubs, and a 100-foot lobby framed by soaring windows that look more like an art installation than a hotel. It’s sleek, serene, and intentionally quiet, an architectural contrast to the energy below.

Suites here start at over 750 square feet (rare for Tokyo) and come with deep furo tubs, floor-to-ceiling views, and tea sets for slow mornings in the clouds.

By day, you can explore the Imperial Gardens, take a private sushi workshop in Tsukiji, or book a tea ceremony with a local master. At night, reserve the six-seat omakase counter or sip rare Japanese whiskies in the sleek lounge overlooking Otemachi.

If you're going to do Tokyo once, this is the way to do it.

Ocean breeze, latte in hand, and the first tee ove Ocean breeze, latte in hand, and the first tee overlooking waves: this is how mornings start at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay.

Set above one of California’s most dramatic coastlines, this resort has two championship golf courses (one links-style, one parkland-style), both hugging the cliffs above the Pacific. Even non-golfers love tagging along in the cart just for the views.

Want to unwind another way? The spa delivers with sea-inspired rituals, steam rooms, and seasonal treatments (yes, the pumpkin enzyme wrap is as good as it sounds). Add in e-bikes for coastal cruising, nearby wine tastings, and fire pits that glow at sunset—just in time for the bagpipers on the bluff, a Ritz-Carlton signature.

Reach out to me to plan your seaside escape.

When a client asks for the best of both city and s When a client asks for the best of both city and serenity in Singapore, this is what I book.

I'll help you access exclusive perks and book experiences you won’t find in a guidebook. Let’s start planning your trip!

There’s luxury, and then there’s Dorado Beach, There’s luxury, and then there’s Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve.

This isn’t your typical Caribbean resort. With just 100 beachfront rooms (all with outdoor showers and private plunge pools), it feels more like a hidden estate than a hotel.

Guests can snorkel straight from the beach, bike the Rockefeller Nature Trail, or reserve a private dinner under the stars. And when you book through me, I'll add VIP perks, upgrades when available, and a few surprises you won’t find online.

Puerto Rico has never looked better.

The Pig in the Cotswolds is part country house, part garden-to-table foodie destination. Expect cozy rooms with antique touches, roaring fireplaces, and menus built around produce grown just steps from the kitchen.

It’s relaxed, welcoming, and ideal for a long weekend in the English countryside. Bring a book, pack your wellies, and prepare to linger over every meal. Message me to start planning!

If design is your love language, Bvlgari Hotel Par If design is your love language, Bvlgari Hotel Paris will steal your heart.

Every inch of this ultra-luxe address reflects the brand’s signature Italian glamour, from the curved limestone walls to the silk-paneled suites and custom furniture by Antonio Citterio. Even the spa features a gold-tiled swimming pool inspired by Roman baths.

The hotel has just 76 rooms and suites (many with Eiffel Tower views), plus a Michelin-starred restaurant, standout service, and a prime spot in the Golden Triangle. I’ll take care of every reservation and request, so all you have to do is enjoy the elegance.

For clients who love the outdoors (but not the cro For clients who love the outdoors (but not the crowds) save this post.

Eriro Alpine Hide is a peaceful, eco-conscious design-forward hideaway in Austria’s Alps that feels far from everything, yet completely dialed in. The summer season brings endless hiking trails, glacial lake swims, and slow mornings on the terrace. Trust me, Alpine summers don’t get nearly enough credit.

Come winter, it transforms into a snow-covered sanctuary. Crisp air, quiet mornings, and private access to lesser-known slopes make it a favorite for those looking to avoid the scene while still enjoying the season.

With just a handful of rooms, it’s exclusive in the best way — and it books up quickly. I'll help you secure the corner suite with panoramic views, arrange guides, spa treatments and more! Get in touch today!

For travelers who love bold design as much as bold For travelers who love bold design as much as bold reds, La Residence is unforgettable.

Set on a private estate in Franschhoek, this 11-suite property is known for its bold interiors: clawfoot tubs, eclectic antiques, chandeliers, and colorful fabrics in every room.

Beyond the design, guests can enjoy personalized wine tastings, long lunches with vineyard views, and exceptional service that makes the entire experience feel seamless. Peacocks on the lawn are just a bonus.

Turquoise water, overwater bungalows, and that slo Turquoise water, overwater bungalows, and that slow island rhythm - this is French Polynesia.

Fewer crowds, more seclusion. Private villas in Bora Bora, reef snorkeling right off your deck in Taha’a, and sunset sails that feel straight out of a dream. Each island has its own pace, and I'll help you find the perfect one for you.

Let’s plan your escape to paradise.

There’s something undeniably magical about train There’s something undeniably magical about train travel, especially when it’s done like this.

The British Pullman is all about old-world elegance: restored 1920s carriages, polished brass, art deco details, and multi-course meals served as the countryside glides by. Each journey has its own twist, from themed dinners to seasonal day trips, and the experience feels like part celebration, part time capsule.

I'll help you choose the right route (yes, there are murder mystery dinners), book your preferred carriage, and make it seamless from start to finish.

There aren’t many places in the world where you There aren’t many places in the world where you can watch the sun rise over one of the largest waterfalls on the planet - with the entire park still closed to the public.

That’s the perk of staying at Hotel das Cataratas, the only hotel inside Brazil’s Iguassu National Park. Guests get exclusive access before and after hours.

The resort itself is classic and colorful, with a great spa, a pool surrounded by jungle, and plenty of space to relax between adventures. I’ll make sure you have the best room for the view and all the VIP touches handled.
