Colorado, USA: With a vast selection of ski resorts to choose from, Colorado knows how to do “luxury travel”. 

• Aspen Snowmass: Four amazing mountains, stunning luxury hotels like the Little Nell, The St Regis, and The Jerome, high-end shopping, dining and superb on-mountain dining. 

• Telluride: Quaint mountain vibes away from the crowd of some of Colorado’s larger resorts. Telluride has plenty of places for luxury travellers to stay, we love The Madeline Hotel, Fairmont Franz Klammer Lodge, the cabins at Mountain Lodge on the mountain or Element 52 in Telluride Village.

• Vail: An insane amount of ski terrain, plenty of fine dining, and a quaint pedestrian village. Stay at brand-name hotels like Four Seasons or the Ritz Carlton, or opt for The Sebastian, The Hythe or The Arrabelle. Don’t forget to hit the shops, like iconic Kemo Sabe while you are in town.

 

Whistler, Canada: Whistler has something for everyone, but it’s especially well-suited to a luxury traveller! Take a helicopter for breathtaking views, saber champagne at Bearfoot Bistro or unwind at award-winning day spas. Whistler is home to iconic hotels like the Four Seasons, and the Fairmont Chateau Whistler.

 

Park City & Deer Valley, USA: Park City (and nearby Deer Valley) are used to the luxury crowd, with exclusive ski-in, ski-out hotels, gourmet dining, private guides, luxury day spas and high-end shopping, it’s a luxury travellers playground. With popular brand-name hotels like St Regis, Waldorf, Stein Erikson and the Montage – you know you will be in good company, and get great service. 

 

Queenstown: It might be ‘the adventure capital of New Zealand’, but Queenstown is also incredibly well know for its food and wine culture. Stay at boutique properties like Eichardt’s Private Hotel or Kamana Lakehouse. We also lover brand new 5-Star hotel ROKI and The Rees Luxury Hotel. Queenstown offers incredible experiences, a helicopter trip to Milford Sound or the top of a glacier, making it a bucket list holiday. For dining, don’t miss Ayrburn, Amisfeild Restaurant, Nest, Rātā, The Bunker and Jervois Steakhouse. 

 

Niseko: Japan’s largest ski resort, Niseko has a huge selection of dining, some of the more lively apres-ski options (for a Japanese ski resort). Niseko is comprised of four interconnecting ski areas and offers a variety of luxury accommodation options, many of which are apartment-style, providing ample space to relax. Additionally, most accommodations feature onsen (hot pools) on-site. We love ski-in, ski-out options like Syke Niseko, The Maples Niseko and AYA Niseko, or Ki Niseko is only 100m from the lifts. The brand new 4-Star Nikko Style Niseko HANAZONO has ski-to-door access from Hanazono. Niseko blends incredible powder snow,  Japanese culture and premium accommodation and facilities perfectly.
