Occasions
Journeys made for a particular reason.
Some journeys are taken for their own sake; others mark something. When a journey marks an occasion, the arrangements are built around the day that matters, and the rest is shaped so that the day is never rushed.
Honeymoons and anniversaries
The quiet part, placed last.
A honeymoon is usually two journeys in one: somewhere to see, and somewhere to do nothing at all. We place them so that the second follows the first, and make the travel between them as short and as easy as it can be made.
An anniversary is often a single evening, and it is given the same care: the table, the view from it, the car home. If there is a place that matters — where you met, where you married — tell us, and the journey can begin or end there.
Significant birthdays
A gathering, arranged around one person.
A birthday that brings a family or a circle of friends together from several countries is, in practice, a question of arrivals: flights from different cities, rooms in the same place, a dinner everybody reaches on time. Each guest’s travel is arranged as part of one plan, and the evening itself with the restaurant or the house that will hold it.
Guests can be told only what they need to know, and the person being celebrated nothing at all.
Family journeys
Three generations, travelling at three speeds.
A family travelling together rarely wants the same day. The teenager wants the city, the grandparents a garden and a long lunch, the youngest an afternoon asleep. A journey can give each their part without the family losing the sense of travelling together: separate mornings, shared evenings, rooms arranged so that nobody is far from anybody.
Children’s needs are planned rather than improvised — connecting rooms, cots, meal times, a child seat confirmed for every car — and the staff who travel with a family are accommodated and moved with the same care.
Weddings abroad
The guests’ journey, handled so that the couple need not.
For a wedding held abroad, we look after the travel of the guests: flights and rooms, arrivals spread across a day or two, the movements between the hotels and the venue, and the days before and after for those who stay on. We work alongside your planner rather than in place of one, and keep them informed throughout.
Guests may deal with us directly about their own arrangements, so that questions about flights and rooms do not reach the couple in the weeks before the day.
Events
A final, a premiere, an opening night.
When a journey is built around an event, the event is the fixed point and everything else is arranged to serve it: the flight that arrives the day before rather than the morning of, the hotel within reach of the venue, the car that waits afterwards, the dinner that follows.
Tickets are obtained only through channels able to supply them properly. Where a seat can be confirmed, it is confirmed before anything else is booked; where it cannot, we say so at the outset, rather than build a journey around a promise we are not in a position to keep.
Tell us the occasion.
The date, the people, and what the day should feel like. The concierge will propose the rest, in writing.
