Ourselves. Introducing the 2018 Trip Collection. For 2018, we gave ourselves an ambitious goal: blow away the creators of the best trip collection ever assembled in the luxe adventure market (that’d be B&R 2017). How? By letting our wanderlust—and our insatiable appetite for finding revelatory moments—take over. By foraging further than ever to find the most intimate and beautiful boutique hotels; by tirelessly searching for the next wave of great chefs (it’s an exhausting task, but we proved up for it); by finding secret bike paths and scenic trails even we didn’t know about; and by adding creative twists to already stellar trips. Did we succeed? You be the judge.
A NOTE FROM THE YELLOW JERSEY
Yes, contrary to popular opinion, we do have a competitive spirit here at Butterfield & Robinson. Of course, it’s still B&R, so we aren’t very cutthroat (unless you count the neck of a champagne bottle) and you won’t find us clawing our way up any corporate food chain (unless there’s a plateful of cacio e pepe at the top). That’s not just because we’ve already been crowned the best in the world (thank you, Travel + Leisure), but because it’s simply not our style. Our competitive spirit is a joyful one—born of jubilance, exhilaration, a compulsion to collect the best and most intimate bits of the world, and the immense satisfaction of bringing like-minded people (yourself included) with us. In short, it’s our love of life that pushes us to make our journeys lovelier and lovelier yet. And while that sense of perfectionism does require a bit of perspiration, we assure you that our freshly minted 2018 journeys bear no sign of our strenuous efforts and long nights. Just the light, free feeling of getting away from it all—and finding it all, in the process. Hope to see you on the road in 2018, —Norman Howe, President & CEO
Italy From Italy’s northern Alps to its charming south, we know the best—and most exclusive—ways to live la dolce vita. Think mahogany boats on pristine lakes. Homemade pasta served in nonna’s backyard. And hotels so stunning, even Steinbeck struggled to find the words.
