As a luxury travel advisor/agent specializing in hotel bookings, I help elevate your hotel or resort stay with exclusive VIP amenities and preferred partner benefits.

  • Tailored luxury hotel recommendations for your destination

  • Access to preferred partner programs (Four Seasons, Hyatt Privé, Marriott, Hilton for Luxury, Rosewood Elite, Belmond, Virtuoso – and many more)

  • Best flexible rates that unlock VIP benefits like priority upgrades, daily breakfast for two, hotel/resort credits, early check-in/late check-out and welcome amenities

  • Direct hotel contacts to handle requests and step in if issues arise

  • No extra cost – I’m paid by the hotel, not you

When to book yourself

While I’m happy to book any property, it’s important to note that not every hotel offers perks. VIP benefits are usually tied to 4- and 5-star luxury partner hotels booked on flexible rates.

If your main priority is:

  • Budget accommodations

  • The absolute lowest nightly rate (regardless of flexibility or amenities)

…then the extra value I can add may be limited. That said, I’m always glad to handle your booking, flag your arrival to the property, and make sure the details are in order.

Why use a travel advisor

You already work with financial advisors, real estate agents, lawyers, and coaches. You trust experts in every area of your life.

Time is your most valuable resource, and your time to travel with loved ones is limited. Why leave that to chance by booking blindly online?

I help you maximize your time, your investment, and your experience – so every trip feels special.

You’ll enjoy exclusive preferred partner amenities and be well positioned for complimentary room upgrades, with recognition that goes beyond what is typically available through direct bookings, credit card programs, or most loyalty programs.

You still earn hotel loyalty rewards just like you would booking yourself.

    —Keshvar A.
    travel to Hawaii

  • "A.J was wonderful from start to finish. It was a short turnaround from booking to travel. A.J replied within an hour of submitting a request for the property. I booked that evening. I ended up noticing that they had another promo for a longer stay. After reaching out to A.J he promptly cancelled our previous reservation and rebooked. Everything he did was done extremely quickly. He was very thoughtful to wish us a nice stay just prior to our trip and checked in to make sure everything was going well. I would recommend and will be booking with him again."

    —Melissa A.
    travel to Toronto

  • "AJ made the experience so easy. I've worked with him for years - he always does. This time, he took care of everything, including booking flights and hotel. We even had an unexpected welcome package of food and drink in the room, which my kids thought was the coolest thing ever. This was a huge win, as we were all a little hangry when we finally checked in to our room. Within 5 minutes everyone had enjoyed some chips and salsa, the adults enjoyed a beer, and we were back in business."

    —Ben H.

This level of professionalism made the entire process seamless and reassuring. Going forward, we plan to continue communicating with him for both our family travels and business trips."
