Winter wonderland luxury hotels that are fit for Mr. and Mrs Claus.

Each and every year winter brings the perfect weather conditions for the construction of massive luxury hotels made of ice.   Located all over the globe, these incredible winter wonderlands made from blocks of ice and steel frames depict the true beauty that lies in our natural elements.   Water chilled to absolute perfection is truly awe inspiring.

The use of fibre optics carefully encased inside gigantic ice blocks create the most beautiful lighting effects and soothing ambiance of each luxury  hotel.   You will feel as though you have stepped inside a gigantic crystal snow globe.

Based on ancient igloo architecture these ice hotels are the perfect temperature inside to warm even the coldest of hearts.   They say that even Jack Frost is happy to visit here!

Food and beverages are carefully chosen, bedding is warm and inviting and the nightlife is always upbeat and festive.  Ice wines and absolute vodka are the drink of choice here;  served chilled to perfection of course.

Artwork, chandeliers and ice sculptures fill the hallways with true elegant decor and add the perfect touch to these one of kind luxury hotels.

Unlike anything that you have ever experienced these luxury hotels are a must do on any winter itinerary.

Luxury is not always about the how it is sometimes about the why.   Rebuilt each and every year no hotel is ever created exactly the same.   The uniqueness of each hotel design is part of its’ charm and why people visit each and every year.  They want to know what is new and exciting in the world of luxury ice hotels.   A passion for beauty inspired by the magic of  nature is what drives them.

Scary luxury vacations in Vienna

Luxury Vacations are a  Krampus Celebration

Vienna, Austria is traditionally a peaceful place today, with the sounds of little children in the park competing with a string quartet playing Strauss Waltzes from an historic bandstand. Fairytale castles smile down from nearby hills while ancient Church towers point up to Heaven. Who could suspect as succeeding December 5’s draw near, that ghostly creatures from the City’s medieval past would continue to emerge from snow and ice to haunt innocent Christmas revelers.  A luxury vacation with a haunting twist.

These terrifyingly mythical creatures known as the Krampus accompanied the original Santa Claus Saint Nicholas on his Christmas journeys when he bore gifts for boys and girls, and were indeed responsible for warning and chastising children instead (when they had been bad that year). These days of course, we no longer believe such things, and know that this is just local people dressing up for fun. Remember though to warn children traveling with parents on luxury vacations that those santa claws are not for real.

Luxury Vacations Imperial Splendor

When visiting Vienna at the time of the Annual Krampus celebrations, you may appreciate the fact that the monsters may not enter the Hotel Imperial because they are improperly dressed. Here a sumptuously opulent Grand Hotel was created by the wealthy Prince Phillip of Württemberg in 1863 as his Vienna residence when he stopped by on luxury holidays himself. Where else, anywhere in the world could you awake in an Imperial Suite where Kings, Queens and other Stars have slept, and where your private butler hands you your personal hand-ironed newspaper with your morning tea, served in a precious teacup complete with golden spoon?

As befits a Grand Hotel in the luxury vacations tradition, both Restaurant Imperial and Café Imperial provide gastronomic moments fit for Queens and Kings. World-class Chefs vie with each other to conjure up classic and contemporary magic presented by Maître d’ Christ and accompanied by world-best wines under the care of Head Sommelier Manfred Legl.  It has been said that there is no finer Hotel in the classic grand style anywhere in Europe.

No Scary Luxury Vacations Hotels Here

While you may have Krampus Season surprises in Vienna in early December, our consultants at conceirge@luxetraveldeals.com will make sure that everything else goes exactly according to your plans, when you book one of our fine luxury vacations through LuxeTravelDeals.

Top tips for planning destination weddings brought to you by our luxury travel agency.

Wedding Destination

Destination weddings.

Loving couples romantically entwined around menus and brochures about luxury resorts and hotels may forget the fundamentals when they plan their destination weddings says luxury travel agency experts.

Here are some of the most important things to do (and not to do) when planning something as important as destination weddings and honeymoons.

Plan Ahead: Great destination weddings have top standards and high occupancy rates and you do not want to be disappointed. Start planning and making bookings as early as you can. You could always renegotiate your luxury accommodation if the date must change.

Be Practical: Have a budget, and stick to it. Think about how you and your guests will get to your all inclusive resort, and what it will cost too. Do not forget to check your guests’ diaries as you firm up on your dates, and ask them to pencil in the day. Remember, it can take time for guests to update passports, arrange time off from work and shuffle diaries.

Think about the Weather: It may sound crazy, but there have been couples who booked Caribbean weddings on luxury cruises at the height of hurricane season. Choosing where to exchange wedding rings is a matrix of luxury destination weddings, let our experts help you at
Luxe Travel Deals so you dont end up in being swept away by a  hurricane.

Take a moment to check out our blog on the Top Ten destination weddings resorts and hotels that our experts have chosen.

Do not Make Assumptions: Investigate your preferred wedding destination thoroughly, and do not ignore negative reports by other travelers. Check with the staff at the resort that the pictures on their website are still valid. Make sure that there are no hidden costs, and be sure to obtain a written quote.

Manage Numbers Carefully: Do not assume that everybody that you invite will be able to come to your wedding at the luxury resort you choose. Some may say yes, and have to change their minds. Others may say no, and then decide to turn up at the last minute. Avoid conflict – monitor guests on a weekly basis so you are crystal clear about what is happening.

Our Luxury Travel Agency  has been in the weddings business for ages and can help you choose from a variety of options. Live Well, Travel More with us, and be true Stars in your own version of destination weddings. Contact us at concierge@luxetraveldeals.com for more details.
