Founded by two brothers, Ivan and Ruslan Lartisien, who have a passion for travel and luxury hotels, Lartisien, the French luxury travel company, has expanded its collection by including five hotels that reflect "excellence in all areas", whether in service, innovation, gastronomy, attention to detail, atmosphere or that intangible something that makes a place unique.
Kisawa Sanctuary, Mozambique
To the south of Benguerra Island, you'll find a 300-hectare reserve. The Kisawa Sanctuary lies at the heart of a tapestry of forests, beaches, and dunes. Comprising 11 homes, this sanctuary aims to consciously unite comfort and nature. Kisawa means unbreakable, and what makes it unique is precisely its unwavering dedication to creating a link between people and place, life and earth.
Hotel Castello di Reschio, Italy
Hotel Castello di Reschio is a place where old and new meet, where antique finds and modern decor harmonize. Count Benedikt Bolza and his wife, Donna Nencia Corsini, have transformed an 11th-century castleinto a magnificent 36-room hotel located on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, near Perugia, a few hours south of Florence.
Banyan Tree AlUla, Saudi Arabia
In the heart of AlUla, amid rock formations, tombs, and petroglyphs - an archaeologist's dream - are 47 villas, two restaurants and a spa with infinity pool. This desert hideaway is located in what is being called the world's largest living museum, between rock walls inside a canyon. Guests can enjoy facilities and services ranging from a fitness center to in-villa or in-restaurant dining, yoga and weddings.
Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, USA
The Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills is located in the heart of Los Angeles' most exclusive neighbourhood. The hotel perfectly merges old Hollywood style and Art Deco, whether in the triple-height ceiling of the lobby or in one of its 170 rooms, designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon. Private balconies offer guests a view of the hills or the famous Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards. The hotel is ideally located, close to the famous Rodeo Drive.
Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo in Otemachi, Japan
The latest addition to the Lartisien Collection is located in Tokyo's financial district, but close to Ginza and Asakusa, offering a more traditional atmosphere for those seeking the different facets of Tokyo.
The hotel offers guests breathtaking views, as it is located on the top six floors of a 39-storey building. From the Imperial Palace to Mount Fuji, guests will never run out of experiences to enjoy.
By booking through Lartisien, customers will enjoy a range of benefits depending on where they are travelling: free breakfast, early check-in, late check-out, upgrades where possible, or credits (F&B, room reservations, suite reservations, spa) of 100 or 200 USD among others.
