Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet is one of the two palatial Four Seasons properties in Istanbul. It sits in the ancient heart of the city, in a historic building from the Ottoman era. From the moment you arrive, the yellow facade sets the tone for the Turkish neoclassical architecture inside. Arched windows, heavily overhanging eaves, decorative tile panels and a courtyard that’s very much the focal point of the hotel. It’s a beautifully landscaped garden area centered on a polygonal pavilion where breakfast is served every morning to the scent of jasmine, bougainville and a herb garden. There are just 65 rooms here, outfitted with kilims, neoclassical furniture and woven Turkish textiles for a stay that immerses in the local culture and values. On the culinary front, the hotel features 4 excellent dining outlets: Avlu Restaurant sits in the hotel’s courtyard, Lingo Lingo Bar & Restaurant served seafood mezze in a contemporary space, La Pistache is an haute couture patisserie and the Süreyya Teras Lounge serves artisanal cocktails and Turkish wines to mesmerizing views of the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque.

They just don’t make them this way anymore… Built by King Alfonso XIII for the royals and VIPs attending Seville’s 1929 world fair, the Hotel Alfonso XIII is Old World luxury at its best. It’s a prime example of Andalusian design with its mosaic-covered arches, soaring towers and an Instagram-worthy courtyard where orange blossoms surround a bubbling Moorish fountain. Day and night, this is the place to linger over a cava or a cure-all cocktail from Restaurante San Fernando while elsewhere, the Bar Americano is where Sevillians in the know head to for pre-dinner drinks. Setting wise, there’s no doubt that the Hotel Alfonso XIII is something special (it even had a role in the 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia) but it’s the illustrious history here that makes a stay at this hotel feel like you’re in the centre of not just the city, but the life of it. As the locals put it: Aquí está el todo Sevilla. The whole of Seville is here.

A historic hospital on the Rhône is the monumental setting for the latest opening from InterContinental in the shape of Lyon’s Hôtel Dieu. Stylish rooms blend original architectural features with on-trend contemporary design, dining is modern Lyonnais and cocktail bar Le Dôme is fast becoming a local A-lister address. The hotel opening in 2019, and no Lyon hotel has been so anticipated. One in three Lyonnais were born at this grande dame of a historic monument; it was the city’s maternity hospital from 1493 until 2010.
A sweeping, 280m-long façade by 18th-century architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot (of Pantheon-in-Paris fame) is the magnificent prelude to a strikingly contemporary interior by celebrated hotel designer Jean-Philippe Nuel. His dramatic mix of sumptuous Verel de Belval silks and rustic stone-flag flooring, the wall of antiquarian medicinal books behind reception, the coffered dome ceiling soaring 32-metre and central altar-like floral display in the hotel bar are but some of the countless clever, breathtakingly beautiful evocations of the hotel’s unique past.

Frenchman Mikael Audebert, has been in the business of making dreams come true for hundreds of travelers since 2000. Born with the “itch” to travel and owner of vast experience in the travel industry, he has extensively explored the four corners of the earth and continues to do so several times a year, as leader of many of our curated journeys.
Mikael moved to the U.S in 1992 to pursue a career in tourism. From the very beginning, he saw the end of the traditional travel agency coming and quickly developed a customized approach to more individually-tailored, travel planning and travel management for his clients. As a result, Mikael and Art In Voyage have received impressive recognition for professional excellence, including being named to the Orlando Business Journal’s “40 under 40”, Watermark Media's “Most Remarkable Person of the Year” for 2013, the Orlando Business Journal's 2012 list of “Businessmen to Watch” and has received numerous awards for his charity work in the Orlando., Florida marketplace.
And, when we say that we don’t send you anywhere that we haven’t been, we aren’t kidding! Mikael is so committed to vetting guests’ interests before booking them, he even personally checked out the paragliding launch pad at Six Senses' Zighy Bay in Oman. The view is one of peace, quiet and absolute beauty and the thrill is running toward the cliff for a 10-minute flight. It’s now his favorite spot, too!
When Mikael is not traveling the World, or creating new journeys, he flies his plane over the Western Cape.
There is no describing the beauty of South Africa without including the kindness of its people, the extraordinary culinary experiences, the exceptional wine and the 150+ National Parks, each offering a little bit for everyone.
How can one not be proud of one's home region. Provence continues to win my heart at each visit, and I proudly showcase it to guests who, without any surprises, get to fall in love with its people, its food, its wine and most importantly, its endless and diverse exceptional scenery.
While my best moment in Sri Lanka was riding the train, in 3rd class please, through the jungle and tea plantations (with live music on board from joyful locals), I fell in love with its people first and foremost. A patchwork of cultures and religions that seem to co-exist in peace with great pride.

All listed retreats (hotels, villas, and barges) are, at times, subject to changes. In such rare instances, similar or higher standards will be upheld.
Travel insurance, once purchased, goes into effect upon payment of the premium. You have 15 days from that date to cancel it (providing no claims have been filed or initiated during that period). Beyond 15 days, it becomes non-refundable/non-changeable/non-transferrable.
In case of a cancelation at more than 120 days prior to departure, your deposit will be returned minus a $1,000 per person administrative fee.
In case of a cancelation within the penalty period: Find a replacement at least 30 days prior to departure and your journey will be fully refunded, minus a $1,000 per person administrative fee.
