Nine of Travel Edge’s Top Performers chose Italy as their celebrated destination, reveling in Venice, Florence, and Rome. Embraced within the Travel Edge community, together they familiarized themselves and indulged in new luxury experiences, hotels, and restaurants.

 

“We take pride in celebrating our leading Luxury Advisors and rewarding them with these experiences,” Michael Johnson shares. “The Marriott International Luxury Brand showcased our Luxury Advisors a truly customized experience beneficial to their business – and therefore their clients. The Marriott International Luxury Brand were able to open doors to places few have ever seen – and now our advisors can use this experience to give more to their clients.”

 

In Venice, Advisors indulged in lunch on the Rooftop Restaurant La Terrazza at the Hotel Danieli; Followed by a visit of Murano and a dinner at the Gritti Palace. Florence was the next stop, including dinner at Michelin star restaurant, Winter Garden by Caino, at The St. Regis Florence Hotel; A neighborhood walking tour with the best view in Florence; Concluded with cocktails and dinner at the rooftop restaurant SE.STO on ARNO by the Westin Excelsior Florence.
