What a week!  Celebrated Experiences Introduces Two of the Newest Celebrated Hotels to Arizona and California

Jonathan Epstein from Celebrated Experiences participated in a Best Loved Hotels-sponsored tour of elite travel agencies in Arizona and California.

Celebrated Experiences represents many hotels that are featured in Best Loved Hotels, and this week, Jonathan had the pleasure of touring with Best Loved‘s Publisher Jeffrey Epstein, Olive Roberts from Capella Castlemartyr and Federica Bertolini from Hotel Tresanton.  Each of these world-class hotel‘s was inspected by the Celebrated Team in 2007 and was soon added to the Collection.

Capella Castlemartyr is a very special destination located in East Cork, a great base for exploring the Midleton distillery (where Jameson is made), Waterford Crsytal, and other unique experiences such as visiting a local cheesemaker or trying one‘s hand at pottery making.  The estate is a wonderful destination for families with a world class 24,000 square foot spa, a Ron-Kirby designed golf course, complimentary horse and carriage rides, and many other activities.  When travel agents book Capella Castlemartyr thru Celebrated Experiences, their clients get a fabulous Celebrated Perk, a free round of golf for all stays of two-nights or more.  This is an exceptional value.

Hotel Tresanton is located in the picturesque fishing village of St. Mawes in Cornwall.  Cornwall and Devon are extremely popular as pre and post cruise options, especially for travelers who have already experienced the wonders of London, The Cotswlds, or Bath.  Just a 3.5 hour drive from Southampton or a 4-hour train ride from London‘s Paddington Station, England‘s Southwest is becoming a very hot destination.  Tresanton is located on the sea, all rooms with amazing views, and some with balconies and patios.  For lover‘s of gardens, arts or sailing, Cornwall is a must-visit destination.  And like most Celebrated Hotels, Tresanton offers a fabulous Celebrated Perk for booking the hotel through Celebrated.  All guests staying 3 nights or more receive a complimentary "Tresanton Picnic."  These famous picnic lunches are amazing and perfect for taking on the hotel‘s sailboat, a lunch on a hidden Cornwall beach, or on the train back to London.

At quite a few of the presentations, travel consultants were so excited about the hotels that they immediately thought of clients that were perfect fits for the properties, making for some quick bookings.
