 For 20 years, my wife Leni and I have passionately assisted travelers looking for unique and powerful experiences when traveling to the United Kingdom or Ireland. Within the past few years, my son, Jonathan and his wife Shelley joined our existing team and have injected our company with energy and creativity, enabling us to be even more helpful to our thousands of clients.
After two decades as The Celebrated Hotels Collection, in November 2007 we changed our name to Celebrated Experiences. We believe this name better reflects the full range of services our company provides. It also better captures our travel philosophy that travelers should experience a destination, not just view the sights from afar or travel to check off boxes.
We have three divisions at Celebrated Experiences:
Celebrated Hotels: Nearly 200 hand-picked properties in the United Kingdom and Ireland. From castles, to city hotels, to country houses . . . from trendy to traditional . . . from 5-star to 3-star, the diversity is critical because it enables us to personalize an experience. Each hotel is inspected yearly, and as quickly as we add hotels, we drop those that do not meet our high expectations. Call or book any of our fine hotels.
Celebrated Journeys: For 20 years, we have customized itineraries to the United Kingdom and Ireland. Leni, Shelley, Kathy, Jonathan, and I have built thousands of once-in-a-lifetime, unique experiences for families, golfers, honeymoon couples, groups, and individuals searching for a better way to travel. The key to building these journeys is that we learn as much as we can about the traveler and then apply our intense knowledge of the destination to build beautiful, personalized journeys. Call or request a journey.
Celebrated Chauffeurs and Guides: In the last 5 years, this has been the fastest growing segment of Celebrated Experiences. More and more travelers are elevating their experiences by hiring guides and drivers. Whether a walking tour of London or The Lake District, or a driving tour of The Ring of Kerry or The Highlands, a guide can bring the destination to life. Drivers are also in high demand, especially to and from cruise ships or from an airport to a hotel. Call or request a chauffeur or guide.
Celebrated Experiences is a one-stop shop for thousands of elite travel agents. These valued travel professionals are much more than clients; they have become our friends and partners. With one phone call to 800.322.2403, a travel consultant can get the information they need and the services their clients demand. Our clients include travel professionals who know little about the UK and
Ireland to some of the most elite experts in the industry.
In addition to saving agents’ time and providing needed services, the two other major factors
behind our success are our knowledge and relationships.
- At most of our hotels, no two rooms are alike, and we know which room best matches a traveler. We don’t just want to recommend the perfect hotel, but we work to ensure a guest is in their perfect room. We also know the interesting places to visit and dine that are often not found in the guide books.
- Our relationships are special, much more than just business partnerships but real friendships, some for over two decades. The beneficiary of those relationships are the guests who have utilized our services when they get upgrades, special rates, free breakfasts and transfers, or a walk through the garden with the hotel owner to name just a few extras, extras we like to call Celebrated Perks.
If you have worked with us before, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share our passion with you and your clients. If we have not yet had a chance to work with you, please give us a call.
On behalf of Leni, Shelley, Kathy, Rayna, Jonathan, and the rest of our team, we look
forward to personalizing a wonderful experience for your clients.
Warmest Regards,
Preston H. Epstein
Chairman and Founder of Celebrated Experiences

Top 5 Reasons People Book Their Travel with Celebrated Experiences
- Our relationships. Our strong, warm relationship with hotels leads to better experiences for our guests. Typically, we are the number one booker of leisure travelers from North America at our hotels. The Celebrated team phones in every booking, letting the hotels know the importance of each guest and their special needs. This leads to upgrades and Celebrated Perks, added amenities such as transfers and breakfasts. Through our relationships we get your clients on to the best golf courses and into the hardest to book shows and events.
- Our Knowledge. We know the UK and Ireland completely – which hotels and destinations match the right traveler, which hotel rooms have the best views or king size beds, which guide makes the most sense for families with children or for a PhD, and which places to visit that have that real wow factor. This knowledge sets us apart.
- One-Stop Shopping. With one phone call, travel professionals can take care of all of their needs in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
- Superlative Documentation. Clients receive documents that make travel professionals look great. Easy-to-read vouchers; brochures; and lists of things to do in the area where they are traveling.
- Commission Protection. Celebrated pays commissions in US Dollars for most of our hotels. This ensures agents get paid more quickly.

Our clients are the world’s best travel agents.
We believe strongly that when people travel they should use travel agents. Some people hire an accountant to do their taxes or a plumber to fix their leaks, but they try to build vacations on their own. Because of travel agents’ expertise and relationships, they are able to ensure their clients get the best rooms, the right hotels, the best experiences, and often special rates. If you do not have an agent, please call us at 800.322.2403 so we can recommend a travel professional. These are travel consultants we have worked with for years, and we know the type of service they deliver for their clients. |
