Andrew Harper editors aren’t the only ones gallivanting around the world. We also send our advisors out of the office as often as possible, so they can offer firsthand advice about luxury hotels when you call the Travel Office to plan your own trips. Here are four of the most recent forays taken by advisors:

Rwanda

Belinda Ng investigated four luxury properties in Rwanda, including Wilderness Bisate and Singita Kwitonda Lodge. She says “no words can describe the feeling” of encountering mountain gorillas in the wild. “The moment of eye contact was just a ‘wow’ sensation.”

Bahamas

Carolyn Consalvo explored contrasting properties in the Bahamas, our recommended hideaway in Dunmore Town (Eleven Bahamas House) and a resort on the coast. Their atmospheres are completely different, and she can help you make the right choice.
