With the dawn of AI, how do we stay relevant?
The best hotel owners, managers, tour guides, cruise line executives and top advisors converged in Rio to push limits and rethink the way we work with clients.
To put those skills to the test, we recreated a Mission Impossible experience through the city. A game show at the Museum of Tomorrow. A client carnival inside the warehouse where Rio’s carnival floats are made. Every stop challenged advisors and partners to dive deeper, look behind the ask, get more personal and become true tastemakers in their clients’ lives.
It all ended atop Sugarloaf, making real commitments to reinvent the way we work before AI agents take our clients away.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The best parties don’t feel like parties. They feel like the exact right place at the exact right time.
That was Rio. That was Sofitel. That was Immersion.
Thank you @sofitelipanema for the best night. We still aren’t over it.

Venice feels different during Biennale season.
For a few months each year, the city becomes a meeting point for artists, collectors, designers, and travelers from around the world, all arriving for the same cultural moment.
This year’s Biennale has sparked plenty of conversation and controversy well beyond the exhibitions themselves, all the more reason to experience it for yourself.

Some hotels give you a room. @passalacqualakecomo gives you somewhere you don’t want to leave.
Frescoed ceilings. A bathtub overlooking the lake. Gardens that have been growing longer than most countries have existed.
Come see why so many people count it among the best hotels in the world.
Checking in has never felt quite like this.

To the mothers who make special happen, at home and everywhere in between.
The best travel memories aren’t about the places. They’re the moment your child sees something for the first time. The detour that turned into the highlight. The trip they’ll tell their children about.
Today, we’re celebrating the Embark Beyond moms who know that the greatest thing you can give your family isn’t a destination. It’s a story worth reliving.
Happy Mother’s Day.

What do you wear to the Venice Biennale? Greg has thoughts.
In partnership with @samaritaineparis , he walks us through what he actually packs for a week that starts at the Giardini, moves through the Arsenale, and ends with lunch that turns into three more galleries.

This year’s Immersion was all about using emotional intelligence to get closer to clients in a meaningful way, so what better partner than @fairmontrio , @fairmonthotels whose mantra is to Make Special Happen.
And they proved to be the perfect partner.
What may have seemed like an ordinary day for this team was, in reality, extraordinary and inspiring for all of us.
There is a real appreciation for their approach to luxury, and it is something you feel from the moment you arrive.
Thank you for being a true partner in bringing this vision to life.

CEO of @canouanestate Resort & Villas. Think balcony doors open, ocean air moving through the room, and sleep that comes so easily. If you haven’t been to Canouan yet, it might be time to fix that.
