"We do not remember days, we remember moments."
-- Cesare Pavese, Italian poet and novelist

At its very best, travel leaves us with a series of moments that can be strung together like fine pearls in our memory. They may be simple pleasures. They may thrill. They may inform. But above all, they enrich our lives.

These are the moments that ELITE was created to deliver. Our distinctive selection of five-star hotels and travel-related services can be reserved directly on our hotels' websites through a linkage from our Elite website. Once a reservation is confirmed, ELITE can arrange in-room amenities and special courtesies. And we can assist with many other details to ensure a flawless travel experience -- airport transfers, restaurant reservations, event tickets, spa treatments, and more -- at no charge.

ELITE culminates two careers devoted to luxury hotels. I am a lifelong hotelier, with 25 years at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, including more than 10 at the helm of Manhattan 's Hotel Pierre. My son, raised in the business, has balanced his years of luxury hotel experience with an MBA in International Marketing and Business.

Together, we provide the superior quality and service you demand at a value you'll appreciate. And for our guests, we promise many unforgettable moments to be savored for years to come.

Welcome.

Sincerely,

George D. Schwab Managing Partner
