Michelin starred holiday moments

Following a survey of its customers, Cadogan Holidays has revealed a new breed of luxury traveller who looks to discover new experiences and adventures which enhance their knowledge of the destination they are visiting. Local gastronomy emerges as a key interest for holidaymakers who really want to get under the skin of local culture, with 87% of Cadogan clients wishing to sample local restaurants whilst on holiday.

In response to this demand, Cadogan Holidays has launched a brand new service: The Cadogan Concierge. This tailored concierge approach is part of the Cadogan ‘go the extra mile’ service and allows the luxury gourmet traveller to pre-book tables at a number of fine restaurants, including many Michelin starred establishments where early booking is essential – and it doesn’t cost a penny more!

By suggesting the best restaurants, making them accessible for clients and allowing the foodie traveller to avoid long waiting lists, Cadogan Holidays is arming customers with insider knowledge and a VIP status and removing the fuss of finding and booking restaurants whilst away - making holidays all the more memorable.
