The Leading Hotels of the World recently hosted the second of their four Leading Famils to the East Coast of the US, taking in New York City and Washington D.C.
Leading Famils is a new initiative from the luxury hotel collection designed to give their key travel agency partners the opportunity to learn more about the destinations whilst also staying at some of the world’s finest luxury 5 star hotels.
The group, hosted by Carol McLaren from LHW started at recently opened Knickerbocker Hotel, followed by The Pierre – a Taj Hotel.

The group then travelled to Washington to stay at The Hay Adams, the luxury neighbor to President Obama before returning to New York for two nights at Robert DeNiro’s The Greenwich Hotel.
The group took in Central Park by horse carriage, enjoyed the afternoon tea at the Upper East Side hotel, The Lowell, viewed Manhattan from the air with a helicopter ride, dined at Bubby’s diner near The High Line, and much much more.
Of course they were treated to many fabulous meals at The Leading Hotels of the World along the way.

“We have had wonderful feedback from our agents from the first two Leading Famils to Southern Italy and now the East Coast, USA.”
Craig Adamson, The Leading Hotels of the World Director, Australia and New Zealand
“It isn’t every day that you can spend 8 nights at hotels of this calibre and our agents deserve the opportunity to experience the hotels to be better positioned to sell the destinations and of our Leading properties.”
