Meet Rebecca
Rebecca Recommends represents a selection of hotels and travel services handpicked for the discerning traveler who values authentic experiences. Rebecca’s own love affair with travel started when she was very young and is due in large part to her father, who was a passionate hotelier. Rebecca was familiar with all the nooks and crannies of hotels from a young age. Her teenage years were spent learning every facet of running a luxury hotel and traveling to remarkable destinations to learn their cultures.
Her portfolio showcases some of the very best independently owned luxury hotels, residences, and services within the United Kingdom (Rebecca’s homeland!) and other destinations worldwide. She works with partners who, like her, believe that service is at the heart of travel.
Rebecca Recommends is a staunch supporter of ethical travel. This means, firstly, that travelers have the enormous power to benefit the local communities to which we venture, especially in developing countries. It also means that we, as cultured citizens of the world, can choose ethical destinations based on values with which we identify: human rights, environmental protection, social welfare, and animal rights.
“Smaller is beautiful,” says Rebecca. Owners who are personally invested in their businesses dot her client list, helping to instill enthusiasm about new or unknown destinations. Rebecca gets a real thrill out of sharing local treasures: a little-known pub, a quirky gallery, an adventurous outdoor activity, or a spontaneous visit to a private home.
Introducing: Red Carnation Hotels
Poe Travel has been a big fan of Red Carnation Hotels for many years, so we are over-the-moon that Rebecca will be at the Bazaar to spread the good word about this family-owned and run collection!
Each of their properties, from Botswana’s Xigera Safari Lodge to Ireland’s Ashford Castle, connects you deeply to its locale with distinguishing designs and elevated service.
The Red Carnation Hotel collection includes six London properties (we especially love the luxe Milestone Hotel & Residences and the quaint, London house feel of The Egerton House); the Summer Lodge Country House in Dorset; both Ashford Castle and The Lodge at Ashford Castle in Ireland; two hotels on the British Isle of Guernsey; 100 Princes Street in Edinburgh; three properties in South Africa (from where the owners hail); the Xigera Safari Lodge in Botswana; and the Hotel d’Angleterre in Geneva.
Their list of hotels is varied, both in the types of property and their respective locales. There are certain features, however, that join them all together, such as Red Carnation’s signature service, sense of place, and generous hospitality.
Contact your Poe Travel advisor today for more information, or speak to Rebecca at the Travel Bazaar. Rebecca will also be giving a lunchtime presentation for RSVPed guests only!
