Reason 1: A luxury travel advisor will help personalize your planning and booking experience and get you access to insider intel, deals and hidden gems

A seasoned luxury travel advisor can save you significant amount of time and money. With deep, personal experience of various travel destinations and hotels, we ensure you always make the best choice. We have stayed at some of the world’s finest hotels and have strong opinions on the best options within different budgets in every destination. Even if one of our luxury travel advisors or clients hasn’t visited your desired location, we tap into our extensive network to provide you with inside intel, ensuring you always make a great decision no matter where you wish to travel.
We know which hotels offer the best deals, which destinations are trending, and where the hidden gems are located.
The truth is, finding the right hotel requires a lot of time and energy. A luxury travel advisor takes that burden off your shoulders. We begin our planning process with you, tailoring recommendations based on your preferences, what’s most important to you during your stays, and your budget. This ensures every stay is perfect. We can narrow down hundreds of hotel options to the best ones for you. Over time, as we work together on multiple trips, we get to know you and your preferences and every trip becomes better than the previous one – like a well-oiled machine.
One of our most appreciated service offerings is that we’re available 24/7 via WhatsApp and text messaging. No more waiting for long email responses or dealing with office hours—you’ll be in direct contact with one of our luxury travel advisors whenever you need us. We’re just a ping away.
If you value your time and prefer to have a single point of contact for all your luxury travel needs – we’re a perfect fit for you.
Reason 2: A luxury travel advisor will get you unique benefits worth hundreds of dollars and discounts not available to the general public

Reason 3: In the time of large booking sites and AI, it’s worth remembering that hotels are run by people – a luxury travel advisor will get you VIP status on every stay through established relationships

Large hotel booking sites, like Booking.com, offer a lot of convenience but they are a mass-market product, and the honest truth is that hotels don’t love them. There are many reasons for this, but a key one is that they charge substantial fees and take over a large part of the customer ownership that the hotels prefer to own themselves.
We’re living in a renaissance of AI and automation, many talk about this point in time being an inflection point, which we recognize here at Lyxresan Travels as well. But it’s worth pointing out that the hospitality industry is still traditional and ultimately is built on people and relationships.
As luxury travel advisors, we have spent years cultivating key relationships in the industry and this helps us provide you with deeply personalized service and VIP status at the hotels you book through us. We work directly with senior management at all our hotels to make sure they do go the extra mile for you and that all your preferences are noted and taken care of. All our bookings receive a VIP remark meaning hotel staff do whatever in their power to do that little extra for you – like securing an extra nice upgrade. Ultimately, we make sure every single stay – from a special anniversary stay, to just your annual vacation – is always magical for you.
Bonus reason: 95% of our customers return within a year
We’re extremely proud that 95% of our customers choose to return within a year of making their first booking with us. We think this is a testament to all the reasons mentioned in this article. We’d love to work with you on your next trip to show what we’re capable of and how we can help you.
