Anyone who has ever traveled knows how long the planning process can take. After you’ve determined your destination, there are so many other considerations to take into account: Will you need a visa? What cities will you visit? What is the best way to travel between those cities? Which hotels have the well-appointed accommodations you expect? Expand your vacation to include another country, or a few, and the decision-making gets exponentially more complicated and time consuming. In fact, a recent study found that consumers will visit as many as 38 sites when researching a trip. That’s a lot of Googling.
Andrew Harper’s personalized travel service is top-notch—the very best out there. And the hotels know it. They know that AH customers care about their travel, and my experience is that it puts us in a sort of VIP category.

They are travel industry insiders
Andrew Harper’s dedicated travel advisors have, on average, 20 years of experience in the travel industry—and some have more than 40! They love what they do, and they want you to love where you travel.
They are travelers themselves
Andrew Harper Travel Advisors have traveled extensively and stayed at the very hotels and resorts they recommend. In fact, Andrew Harper invests in its advisors and sends them around the world so they can visit as many Harper hotels as possible and become experts in various destinations. They are educated on new offerings and updated throughout the year by representatives of Harper properties who come to the offices to give presentations, and also briefed by Mr. Harper after each of his many trips. Our advisors find out first, and you benefit.
They offer honest, informed opinions
A search online, while helpful, can only do so much. When you call Andrew Harper, you won’t reach a call center that offers a list of tired recommendations. You will speak with your personal advisor who has on-the-ground experience. They will tell you if the gorgeous deluxe suite featured on the hotel website really does feature a balcony overlooking the Seine or if that balcony actually overlooks a parking lot. They will confirm that that photo of a secluded beachfront is accurate—or give you the news that what you’re seeing is not exactly what you’re going to get. Your Andrew Harper Travel Advisor is your travel advocate.
They have access to thousands of benefits
Besides booking air and ground transportation, hotels and villa stays, dining and event reservations and tours and cruises, Andrew Harper Travel Advisors can also secure the benefits that make your dream vacation into the trip of a lifetime. Your travel advisor will have insight into thousands of Harper benefits you might not even realize exist, including room upgrades, free nights, spa and food credits and more. As an Andrew Harper member, you will travel as a “Friend of Andrew” — always.
They partner with the best
Andrew Harper Travel Advisors work with in-country travel partners who provide on-location logistics and assistance as you travel. Our advisors work with some of the world’s leading experiential travel companies for, say, bespoke African safaris, bike and walking tours and private jet journeys. And should anything happen while in the air or on that mountain, you can rest assured that your trusted advisor will make sure you have assistance 24/7 and are protected while you travel.
They understand that no request is too big or too small
Our travel advisors have heard it all, from the somewhat vague “I want to go somewhere warm next week” to the more particular “I need a dog-friendly yacht in the Caribbean for my 50th birthday.” No matter the request, you can be sure that our travel advisors will make it happen for you.
Andrew Harper members have access to full travel-planning services through Andrew Harper Travel.
