Celebrated Experiences

We are thrilled to announce the official launch of Celebrated France, a milestone in our journey at Celebrated Experiences. With this new division, we are expanding our portfolio into one of the world’s most iconic travel destinations, further empowering our valued travel advisor clients and creating deeper connections with our destination partners across France. After nearly two years of meticulous preparation, Celebrated France launches with an impressive collection of 47 Celebrated Hotels, over 60 Celebrated Guides, and a range of hand-curated experiences including immersive cookery classes, private boat excursions, and exclusive behind-the-scenes encounters with local artisans. This expansion into France is a natural evolution of our services, driven by increasing demand from our travel advisor clients. Celebrated France will offer the same high-touch, bespoke travel services that we’ve provided for years in England, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales, including the booking of hotels, guides, experiences, and complete itineraries. Our initial focus is on Paris, Normandy, Provence, the French Riviera, and wine regions like Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, and the Loire Valley, with more regions to follow. We were honored to officially launch Celebrated France at the prestigious Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel, alongside Vincent Billiard and Rebecca Bosshard Gruyer. Elite travel advisors, such as Jeremy Sulek and Lindsey Epperly of Jetset World Travel, Jamo Ladd, CTA of Avenue Two Travel, a Luxury Travel Agency, and Beth Donovan Flowers of Brownell Travel, joined us, alongside our Celebrated Hotels and Celebrated Guides, in a celebration of the best in French luxury travel. Thank you to our entire team for their dedicated efforts, and hard work that has led us to this important new chapter. #celebratedfrance Pictured: Chris Ward, Katy Henderson, Samantha Betancourt, Jonathan Epstein, Maria Maksimova, Julia Sidko, Dan Chetrit

We have been reflecting on an incredible week, as we celebrated 10 years of Celebrated Italy! One of our core values at Celebrated Experiences is 360° Collaboration, and we could never have achieved this milestone without our partners in Italy that have joined our collection over the past decade. Now a remarkable collection of 160 diverse hotels, dozens of Celebrated Homes, and a network of Guides, Experience Partners, and Drivers, who all do incredible things for Celebrated guests. As always, another important part of our journey has been the collaboration with wise travel advisors! Hundreds of them have shared their insights and requests, helping us evolve and graciously disrupt the travel landscape to serve them better. It’s impossible to talk about this milestone without mentioning the person who has been at the heart of this division since day one, Lorri D'Amico, Director of Celebrated Italy. We are beyond grateful for her leadership and friendship. Happy 10th anniversary, Lorri! As we celebrate this special milestone, we’re also looking ahead with excitement as we prepare to launch Celebrated France next month. Let's keep climbing together! #CelebratedItalyis10 #10Years #TravelAdvisors #Teamwork #CelebratedExperiences #Italy #360Collaboration #CelebratedMoments
