A New Chapter in Luxury Travel: Our Collaboration with Forbes Travel Guide
Written by the Team at SGTG
In the world of luxury travel, partnerships matter. The relationships behind the scenes – between travel designers, hoteliers, and hospitality leaders – are often what elevate a trip from memorable to truly exceptional.
Recently, Sheri Gottschalk of Sheri Gottschalk Travel Group was invited to an intimate dinner with senior leadership from Forbes Travel Guide and a select group of General Managers from some of the world’s most remarkable hotels.
It was an evening filled with conversation about hospitality, service, and the future of luxury travel. Around the table were the leaders responsible for delivering extraordinary guest experiences at properties across the globe – the kinds of hotels that consistently set the standard for excellence.
During that evening, one thing became clear: the values that guide Forbes Travel Guide and the philosophy behind Sheri Gottschalk Travel Group are perfectly aligned.
What Makes Forbes Travel Guide Different
For travelers who appreciate the highest levels of hospitality, Forbes Travel Guide represents one of the most respected standards in the world.
Unlike many lists or rankings, Forbes Travel Guide properties are not simply included through marketing participation. Instead, their hotels and resorts are evaluated through a rigorous inspection process based on hundreds of exacting service and quality standards.
The result is a global portfolio of truly exceptional properties – hotels and resorts that consistently deliver extraordinary guest experiences and represent the very best in luxury hospitality.
From intimate boutique retreats to iconic five-star resorts, the Forbes Travel Guide collection reflects a philosophy we deeply believe in: that true luxury lies in thoughtful service, authenticity, and attention to detail.
Why This Matters for Our Clients
At Sheri Gottschalk Travel Group, our goal has always been simple: to design travel experiences that feel effortless, personalized, and extraordinary from beginning to end.
Our growing collaboration with Forbes Travel Guide strengthens our ability to do exactly that.
Through this relationship, SGTG now has deeper access to an extraordinary network of Forbes Travel Guide–recognized hotels and resorts around the world – many of which represent the pinnacle of luxury hospitality.
And when our clients stay at these properties through SGTG, the experience goes beyond simply reserving a room.
Our partnerships allow us to advocate for our travelers and unlock valuable advantages, including:
• Preferred guest recognition
• Exclusive amenities and added value
• Potential upgrades when available
• Personalized touches arranged directly with the hotel
These benefits transform a stay into something more meaningful – the kind of thoughtful hospitality that makes luxury travel truly memorable.
The Power of the Right Connections
Luxury travel isn’t just about beautiful destinations. It’s about relationships – the trusted connections that allow travel advisors to open doors and create seamless experiences behind the scenes.
Our collaboration with Forbes Travel Guide strengthens those connections and allows us to continue curating exceptional journeys for our clients with even greater care and access.
It’s a partnership rooted in shared values: extraordinary service, global expertise, and a deep appreciation for the art of hospitality.
And this is only the beginning.
