This is my new motto after over 40 years of serving guests from all over the world, either as a hosting manager in a variety of luxury hotels or as a founder (in 1986) of this present association of special places. This unique group of individuals strives to offer their guests the type of personal care and attention one can only receive while enjoying the hospitality of a lodging attended to by it's owners. This new breed of hoteliers has one common goal and this is to ensure that your stay with them will be an unsurpassed experience.

I have your guide from about 20 years ago. I kept it for sentimental reasons,
   as this book was the start of the appreciation of things beautiful, fine wines,
   fabulous food, property, calm surroundings, magical experiences.
   So thank you for your help then and I hope I will be able to thank you again.
