Charlotte's Updates

Last month marked Charlotte Travel?s 18th birthday (yay!) and we couldn?t be more grateful to our amazing clients for supporting us since the beginning. We would not have gotten here without you, so thank you for allowing us to serve you for the last 18 years.

While we?re proud of our achievement, we know that we cannot get too comfortable. We continually strive to build relationships with hotels and suppliers so that we can provide the best value that our clients deserve. We?re happy to say, we?ve had a busy summer becoming preferred partners to 4 new luxury brand preferred partner programs, making it 5 new partnerships we?ve made this year alone. We can?t wait for you to take advantage of these great offerings!

Keep reading to see what new exclusive benefits we can offer you and get in touch to take advantage of these offers.

Shangri-La The Luxury Circle

The Shangri-La story began in 1971 with the opening of its first deluxe hotel in Singapore. Inspired by the legendary land featured in James Hilton's 1933 novel, Lost Horizon, the name Shangri-La encapsulates the serenity and service for which our hotels and resorts are renowned worldwide. The brand has since grown its portfolio to over 100 properties worldwide and is one of Asia Pacific?s leading luxury hotel groups. With planned expansion in Australia, Bahrain, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, there will be plenty of more opportunities to experience their renowned 5 star service.
