Thanks for the feedback. Will you post anything on this board if new properties are added or will we just need to keep watching the auctions? Have you signed up any of the suggested properties yet?



Thanks!

I would like to see The Water's Edge Spa and Resort added.

They are in Westbrook, Connecticut. It's a great vacation spot.



Here is the website to view:

Please have a look at the Marques de Riscal in La Rioja, Spain.

We stayed there recently and both the accomodation and the food were excellent.

Perfect for wine lovers with a winery on site!

The restaurant wine list is extensive and priced reasonably.

A good package would be b&b plus 1 meal in the gourmet restaurant. There isa more "casual" restaurant which is also a great experience.

It is particulary well-known for the hotel's architectural design (by Frank Gehry) and is not too far from Bilbao.

Here is a photo taken on not a very sunny day as well as a photo from the winery tour showing the cave (nicknamed The Cathedral) where precious and historic wines are kept.

I would like to suggest Luxury link include some hotels in Positano> The Hotel Villa Franca is my personal suggestion for the luxury community. The hotel is built from stones from Vesuvias. It is very intimate warm and romantic. Run by the charm of the Russo family catering to you every whim and esquisite restaurant Li GAlli. Chef Franco Maresca recreates some old southern italian cuisine.The bar, terrace refined public rooms look out over positano and the coastline. the swimming pool is placed on top of the Villa Franca Hotel, the best position in town, the only with a full panoramic view on Positano and the Gulf. The welness center a warm and beautiful atmosphere with messages sun-bed turkish bath gym. What a great setting for luxury link travelers to Almafi Coast

I suggest more properties from Rock Resorts. LL has several available right now like La Posada in Santa Fe, and LL has had others available at one time like the Snake River Lodge in Jackson and Teton Village, WY. Other properties are all over the globe and are consistently of high quality and service. More, please.

Cheers....Marolyn

When I go to France, I often go to the Logis de France website (which provides detailed information, maps, links, etc.) and stay in three chiminey rated inns. This past trip we stayed in two that you should consider talking to that were excellent and are located in parts of France that are underrepresented here. The Three Pigeons in Cognac is a lovely, small inn with an excellent restaurant and wine cellar. It is located in its own little park-like area and is very peaceful. The rooms are not elegant, but they are larger than many small inns. The staff was very friendly and fluent in English. Another little inn was the Relais du Bastidou which is in the middle of the countryside (town is nominally Beaumarche), about 15 minutes from Marciac, which has a major jazz festival every year. Very nice rooms, a small pool, sauna and outdoor hot tub, excellent restaurant, and completely quiet. We used it as a base to explore armagnac country, so perhaps you could put a package together that included a visit/tasting at a nearby producer. As it really is isolated, you should try to have all dinners included, since it is at the end of a dirt road off a one lane paved road off the two lane principal road, and wouldn't be fun to drive at night, especially after a big dinner with wine. both of these places are of the caliber that you would approve.

I have two suggestions.

1. Expand the Asia offerings with the following chains: Shangri-la, Mandarin Oriental & Pennisula. All are absolutely wonderful with amazing service throughout Asia.

2. Offer a few more hotels in Hong Kong. I always have to end up there and would not mind sending my business to Luxurylink. However, 5 star is going to be most important (super luxury) and preferably on the Hong Kong Island side as the Kowloon side seems to have slightly less luxury type locations.

So far I've had nothing but wonderful experiences with your site and have recommended it to many of my coworkers and friends when they need a quick last minute get away.

One more suggestion. It seems the offerings in China are a little thin. Here are some suggestions for Shanghai & Beijing. May I therefore suggest:

1. Shanghai - Non-Pudong Side offerings
A. Ritz Carlton Portman (great location very luxury)
B. Westin on the Bund - one of the "it" properties
C. Shanghai JC Marriott - a decent 3rd place

2. Beijing - Hyatt in Tiananmen Square (very central very luxury), The Pennisula Beijing

I'd be excited if they end up on LL.

Thx!
