hotel & resort bookings

The right hotel sets the tone for the entire trip.

The best hotel isn’t about stars — it’s about location, vibe, service style, and how it supports the experience you want to have.

I book four- and five-star boutique and luxury properties through trusted preferred partner programs — providing added benefits at no additional cost.

But more importantly, I help you choose the property that truly fits your trip. Whether you have a property in mind or are starting with a destination, I’ll guide you toward the right fit and secure it with added value.

    • Quick Trips

    • You know the hotel but want the perks

    • You don't need assistance with on tours, transfers or reservations

    • VIP Perks (where available - upgrades, resort credits, breakfast and more)

    • You tell us what to book and consider it done!

    • Or, tell us what you are looking for and we will send you at least 3 options

Corporate and Group Travel

Bringing people together, without the logistics falling on you.

Whether it's a corporate retreat, an incentive trip, or a milestone celebration with a group — the more people involved, the more that can go sideways. That's where I come in.

I handle the moving parts — rooming lists, group rates, transportation, timing — so you can focus on the people, not the planning

corporate

You need a trip that reflects well on the company, runs on schedule, and doesn't eat your week putting it together.

  • Perfect for:

    • Company retreats and off-sites

    • Incentive & rewards trips

    • Executive travel coordination

  • What's included:

    • Venue and hotel sourcing with group-rate negotiation

    • Group air and ground transportation coordination

    • Group dining, activities, and private experiences

    • Rooming lists and individual traveler coordination

    • A single point of contact for the whole group

    • On-trip support

group

Same idea, personal occasion. You want everyone in one place, having a good time — not juggling ten group texts about flights.

  • Perfect for:

    • Milestone birthdays & celebrations

    • Girls' trips & friend getaways

    • Golf trips

    • Family reunions

  • What's included:

    • Custom itinerary built around the group's pace and priorities

    • Hotel/resort block booking

    • Group activity and dining coordination

    • Coordination across multiple travelers and payment schedules

    • Ongoing support before and during the trip

Because "wrangling ten opinions and twenty schedules" shouldn't be your job.

  • Good to know:

    • Group planning fees are quoted based on group size and trip complexity

    • A minimum group size typically applies — [ask about your group]

    • Deposit and payment schedules can be split across travelers

    • I can work directly with a designated point person, or coordinate with the full group

hear from our happy clients

  • "We had never been to Barcelona so took Michelle’s advice as to where to stay so we could see and do as much as we could in a day but also not be stressed and worried about getting to our cruise terminal. She helped arrange an early check in and car service with the hotel which was greatly appreciated. She knew our vibe and what we were looking for to kick off our European vacation!"

    — Lauren P.

  • "Michelle took care of all our travel needs and special requests for hotel. Great recommendations for dining and sightseeing. She made traveling to Toronto seamless for us! Many thanks Michelle"

    — Marian C.

  • "Michelle made experience so easy. Based on our preferences, quickly provided excellent recommendations. We felt confident we were in good hands."
