Jetsetter.co.uk launches in the UK

A new, different breed of travel website, Jetsetter.co.uk, has been launched in the U.K. The site provides its members with curated holiday experiences, expert knowledge, as well as exclusive travel deals at prices up to 50% off.

Jetsetter’s curation team choose best-in-class experiences and properties from around the globe, including luxury hotels Hôtel de Crillon in Paris and The Langham Hotel Hong Kong; hip boutiques such as St. Martins Lane in London and Miami's Soho Beach House; and once in a lifetime experiences including a South African safari, Galapagos cruise, and sky diving over Mount Everest. This impressive list of travel partners makes some of the world’s most inspiring destinations and prestigious hotels available to an audience of British travelers looking for incredible holidays at an affordable price tag.

From its launch, Jetsetter will feature 10-15 destinations on sale each week at prices up to 50 percent off. These deals are available for a limited time only – usually five to seven days - and while availability lasts. Brits can also search and book from Jetsetter’s not-so-little-blackbook of favourite hotels featured in the Jetsetter 24/7 collection. More than 500 hand-selected, personally-verified hotels, resorts and holiday villas around the world are available every day, at Jetsetter exclusive pricing.

A fully curated, quality holiday collection
Whether it’s the latest safari experience, a new cultural hotspot in Istanbul, or the most luxurious beach-side boutique; all the recommendations featured on the site have been hand-selected by an in-the-know travel team with more than 125 years experience in the industry. Every experience is approved by a rigorous quality assessment carried out by one of Jetsetter’s 200 correspondents, representing the world’s most experienced travel writers.

Jetsetter members are also invited to share their comments on properties post-stay. Unlike user-generated review sites, Jetsetter limits posts to customers who have booked the hotel through Jetsetter and completed their holiday, assuring all reviews are honest. Since these reviews come from the Jetsetter community, members know they can trust like-minded travellers.

Travel inspiration
Jetsetter.co.uk members can opt to receive twice-weekly emails showcasing deals to the most inspiring destinations and leading hotels in the world. These travel magazine-style emails, written by Jetsetter’s U.K.-based editorial team, are designed to offer members a few moments of travel daydreaming each day, with engaging editorial and beautiful photography.

Drew Patterson, CEO and Founder, Jetsetter, said: “We’ve got two million Jetsetter members in the U.S. who have saved over £35 million over the past two years thanks to our members-only pricing, and we’re looking forward to creating similar savings here in the UK. “

“We pride ourselves on the honesty of our reviews – we’ll tell you if the beach is rocky, or the mosquitos bite at night. And because hotels can’t pay to appear on the site, this means if a hotel isn’t up to scratch then we won’t feature it.”
