The Best Of North America

It is said that America is the land of opportunity and there is certainly a wealth of opportunities to satisfy any and every holiday taste, no matter how extravagant. Whatever you dream you can create a decadent escape in Beverly Hills on the west coast, a sophisticated affair in New York City in the north-east, or a boisterous celebration in New Orleans' Deep South.

If you are having difficulty choosing, perhaps the answer is a premium US luxury tour that brings together all the exceptional experiences you desire, from exclusive high-end merchandise to avant-garde culture, and assures you accommodation in the finest 5 star hotels America has to offer.

Such a US luxury holiday must include a visit to a place which has become synonymous with  unrestrained opulence, Beverly Hills, California. This is the Mecca for devotees of fashion from around the world, with all the legends of design represented on the famed Rodeo Drive. The chic boutiques of Versace, Armani and Blahnik are the main attraction for many, but Beverly Hills has more to offer.

You can learn more about the art, architecture and history of the city on an open-air trolley tour; catch a musical or theatre performance at the historic Greystone Mansion and Park; or savour California-grown fruits and vegetables, together with specialty gourmet sensations, at the weekly outdoor Beverly Hills Farmers' Market.

Where should you stay in this city of high glamour and indulgence? The Beverly Wiltshire is an elegantly appointed historic hotel in the heart of Beverly Hills with all the sumptuous and personal conveniences of a 5 star resort. Live like the rich and famous in this lavish hotel and spa, located just a few steps from Rodeo Drive.

On the other side of the country the most famous metropolis, New York City, is a thriving hub of industry, artistic expression, style and sophistication. There are many iconic landmarks, imprinted on the collective consciousness in countless movies, including the Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island, Empire State building and the Chrysler building.

It is not difficult to fill many days of your US luxury tour in New York alone. You can relax in beautifully manicured parks, be inspired in art galleries, buy distinctive vintage fashion or a gorgeous antique, expand your mind in museums, be taken out to the ballpark to see the New York Yankees play, wander the streets of bohemian SoHo, catch a show on Broadway, indulge in fine food from around the world at first class restaurants, and mingle with the trend setters at a hip night spot.

For elegant accommodation look no further than the Hotel Plaza Athénée, located on a quiet tree-lined street in the fashionable Upper East Side of Manhattan. While only it is only a short stroll to Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping and all that New York has to offer, this boutique 5 star hotel is tranquil and private retreat. Exquisite decor and exceptional service combine in this delightful accommodation, your personal oasis nestled in the heart of the 'city that never sleeps'.

If all-night festivities are your thrill, then make your way to the Deep South and the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans. The streets and clubs of the Big Easy throb with music well into the witching hour perhaps to ward off the many spirits said to haunt the area.

Explore the mysterious at a historic home, Voodoo religious ritual or on a luxury cruise in the wild swamps of New Orleans. Experience the legendary revelry of the annual spring Mardi Gras, a riotous parade of elaborate and outrageous costumes, and savour delectable Cajun (robust food from the bayous of Louisiana) or Creole (more refined cuisine with a focus on rich sauces and seafood) dishes at one of the over 3000 restaurants.

Wherever you choose to go, you will dazzle your senses and indulge every flight of fancy on your next US luxury travel adventure.
