David Brandon, Managing Director of Savenio, joined his senior travel advisors in Mykonos and Santorini recently for a seven-day famil in the Greek Islands, hosted by La Collection’s Craig Farrell.

Hotel restaurants are sometimes an afterthought when booking your travel, however when Europe’s destination hotels attract some of the world’s best chefs it’s well worth considering to add an unbeatable experience to your trip.

A select group of Australian travel advisors ventured to Europe recently for the first educational hosted by the new luxury offering on Italy’s Amalfi Coast – Borgo Santandrea.

With just weeks until the much-anticipated opening of Chippendale’s new seafood paradise, Longshore, located at The Old Clare Hotel, La Collection thought the timing was perfect to take a look at what the celebrated duo behind the restaurant – Jarrod Walsh and Dorothy Lee – have planned.

Twenty years ago on June 20, 2003, Blue Palace, a Luxury Collection Resort opened its doors between the tiny fishing village of Plaka and the increasingly chic port of Elounda.

Seabourn went head-to-head with some of Europe’s most luxurious hotels on Wednesday night in Melbourne. An event hosted by the luxury cruise line and La Collection aspired to resolve the age old question: Is Europe Best Explored by Land or Sea?

La Collection has welcomed a new destination to its luxury property representation with the addition of Cap Karoso, a brand-new retreat on the island of Sumba in Indonesia.

The Old Clare Hotel, Chippendale in Sydney has appointed La Collection as its local representative, marking the first move into the Australian domestic scene for Lea Seguier and Craig Farrell’s brand. La Collection will oversee sales and trade marketing for The Old Clare Hotel in Australia and New Zealand, from its Sydney and Melbourne bases.

When Forbes magazine compiled its list of 23 Places to Visit in 2023 recently, one Greek island made the list and it will come as no surprise to the locals.

La Collection, the Sydney- and Melbourne-based representatives specialising in pure luxury hotels and resorts, has strengthened its partnership with members of Marriott Bonvoy’s The Luxury Collection in Greece, signing three new properties to its expanding portfolio.

La Collection hosted a number of Australian advisors at events during ILTM Cannes last week.

Borgo Santandrea has been open for less than a year and has already taken out a string of awards during its first season. From National Geographic Traveller, Condé Nast Traveller and Monocle in the UK, to Travel + Leisure and Hospitality Design in the US, this addition to the fabled Amalfi Coast has wowed guests and judges alike in 2022, but already plans are underway to further enhance the guest experience in 2023.
