SEVILLE, SPAIN – 2024
Our most recent adventure to the South of Spain
The captivating city of Seville, Spain, was the perfect base for exploring Andalusia’s rich history and vibrant culture. Known for its flamenco rhythms, Moorish architecture, and sun-drenched plazas, Seville enchants even the most seasoned travelers. Our stay at the luxurious Hotel Alfonso XIII, a symbol of elegance since 1929, added a touch of grandeur to our journey.
Nestled in the heart of the city, the hotel is an architectural masterpiece that reflects Seville’s unique charm. From exploring the majestic Alcázar and taking an exclusive day trip to Morocco via private jet to wandering through the enchanting streets of Santa Cruz, our time in Seville was a journey through history and an unforgettable experience.
AMALFI COAST, ITALY – 2023
In May 2023, we explored the dramatic coastline that dazzled and delighted our Jet Set travelers.
The dreamy southern Italian town of Sorrento was the ideal home base for exploring the dramatic coastline that dazzled even the most seasoned of our travelers. A magnet for adventure since the Roman times, the Amalfi Coast is clearly one of the most beautiful, most desirable, and most charming coastal regions in the world!
Here, sky-high cliffs display vibrant vegetation spritzed by fragrant citrus groves and pastel-colored fishing villages arranged side by side with the disarming turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. The serenity of this region, and our exquisite accommodations at the Grand Hotel Vittoria Excelsior had our travelers feeling like they had found heaven on earth.
MUNICH, GERMANY – 2022
In July 2022, we lifted a stein to our 2021 winners in the friendly Bavarian region of Germany.
We embarked on an eight-night trip that featured luxurious accommodations at the Mandarin Oriental Munich, sponsored excursions, and an exclusive party at Matsuhisa, Nobu’s upscale sister restaurant. The capital of Bavaria is known for its first-class museums and rich history, old-world traditions and folksy culture, and its world-famous Oktoberfest beer celebration. However, what our Munich travelers loved most was its inhabitants’ hospitality and cheerful outlook.
LYON, FRANCE – 2019
Every day of this 2019 Summer Sojourn, our 50th Anniversary trip, was a feast in the gastronomic capital of the world.
This gourmet food mecca evokes a 1970s Paris when the city was distinctly French and less touristy. Lyon offered our travelers a vast array of dining options—not just its top-tier Michelin-starred establishments, but also numerous traditional bistros and cozy city cafes. Our group had the unique privilege of being the first to stay at Lyon’s newest and finest five-star hotel, the Intercontinental Lyon, which added an extra touch of luxury to our stay.
Here, adventurous guests indulged in their wildest culinary fantasies while wandering through the covered walkways of the Old City and the historic silk-weaving district. Our explorations included the wine-growing regions of Rhône, Burgundy, and Beaujolais, as well as the French Alps and medieval, fairytale-like villages in the countryside.
BARCELONA, SPAIN – 2017
We hosted a surprise party at none other than Casa Batlló, the renowned masterpiece of architect Antoni Gaudí.
Barcelona is a trendy, modern, yet traditional city—a true cultural magnet and a European metropolis set on the Mediterranean Sea. We explored its vibrant restaurant scene, from fine dining to tiny tapas bars, and marveled at the awe-inspiring Sagrada Familia Basilica.
As the capital of the Spanish province of Catalonia, Barcelona offered a wealth of leisure activities, including museums showcasing the works of Dalí, Miró, Gaudí, and Picasso; local wineries; and beautiful Mediterranean beaches. The excellent weather was a great advantage, allowing our group to fully enjoy Barcelona’s relaxed, outdoor lifestyle.
