Iconic Landmarks - Enduring Legacies all Over the World

Iconic Landmarks – Enduring Legacies

Preparing to set out on a cruise from a treasured coastal city? Let us create more ways to enjoy your holiday by planning a stay before or after your voyage in one of these landmark hotels where stories and legends seem to echo from the walls. Since you should always go to the destination a few days before the cruise sails, I love recommending some unique places for the clients to visit. I then write to the hotel and tell them that this chap is a VIP and more important than the British Prime Minister, and it would gain me some brownie points if they could get a truly smashing upgrade. It usually works. One General Manager wrote to me and said “Mo, you owe me a dinner the next time you are in town, I gave your VIP a suite and a bottle of champagne”.

European Glitz – Hotel Majestic, Rome.

It has a glamorous Via Veneto address where it sits surrounded by Rome’s greatest treasures, from the Trevi Foundation and Spanish steps to the Villa Borghese and its gardens., Within this beacon that has stood for more than a century, the Majestic Ristorante Bistrot provides a terraced escape that feels refreshingly clandestine above the bustle of sightseers below.

The Majestic Hotel & Spa, Barcelona

Since l918 it has been the first stop for cultural aficionados and is a perfect resting spot before or after your Mediterranean cruise. Admirers of architecture laud its Passeig de Gracia location near Antoni Gaud’s greatest works, not to mention the hotel’s own history. It’s spa is one of the best. We give you exclusive spa credit.

Inspiration in Asia – Raffles Singapore

Few hotels remain as grand as they once were in their l9th century glory but Raffles defies the odds.

Since its l887 debut, its colonial façade has endured and it retains bragging rights as the birthplace of the Singapore Sling cocktail. We give you exclusive dining credit so they can experience the excellent dining such as al fresco Italian or traditional Indian curry. We can also arrange a private tour of this exclusive property.

The Peninsula is Hong Kong’s oldest hotel and is still spectacular. It has a fleet of 14 Rolls Royce Phantoms at your service and a rooftop helicopter for the posh arrival. Let us provide you with a hotel credit to be used at your leisure from cocktails in the ultra contemporary surrounds at Felix to a treatment in the 12,000 square foot Peninsula Spa. Being picked up at the airport by a Rolls makes you feel very special.

Occupying part of the tallest building in Vancouver is the commanding Shangri-La Hotel. You have views of British Columbia which are breathtaking. It is close to the cruise terminal and is an ideal place for a pre or a post stay when taking a cruise. We give an exclusive $100 credit towards dining or a treatment at CHI, the Spa.

One of my favorite hotels is the Edgewater on the water’s edge, in Seattle. With wonderful views of Puget Sound over dinner At Six Seven, we treat you to a $50 food and beverage credit so you will feel like royalty.
