Based on feedback travel advisor partners, Classic Vacations has expanded its preferred hotel portfolio to 2,600 properties worldwide.

“The company has prioritized key markets throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa for this expansion, increasing itinerary options while helping advisors maximize revenue opportunities on every booking,” Classic Vacations said, adding that advisors have required more preferred hotel options in destinations they currently book.

In North America, “Classic has reinforced its U.S. portfolio, complemented by growth in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Aruba, Canada and select Caribbean destinations including The Bahamas, Barbados and Curaçao,” the company said.

Two notable new properties include The Beverly Hills Hotel and The Peninsula New York.

In Europe, Classic has expanded its reach throughout southern and western Europe, including Greece, the UK, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Spain and Italy.

New hotels include Domes Noruz Mykonos, Cavo Tagoo Santorini, 1 Hotel Mayfair, London and The Roseate Villa in Bath, England.

In Asia, significant expansion has taken place across high-demand luxury destinations, including Thailand, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, the Maldives, Singapore and Japan.

Just some of the new additions include Banyan Tree Dubai, The Sukhothai Bangkok Hotel and SIRO One Za’abeel, Dubai,” Classic said.

In Africa, hotel expansion has been focused on South Africa, with new preferred properties also added in the Seychelles, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia.

“Further strengthening Classic’s portfolio in safari and luxury experiences, new hotel partners include Kempinski Seychelles Resort, Anantara Maia Seychelles Villa, and Kapama River Lodge, South Africa,” the vacation packager said.

The preferred hotel expansion also marks Classic’s first partnership with the Kempinski Hotels, one of Europe’s most venerable luxury brands, with 13 hotels and resorts in Europe, Dubai, Singapore, Bali and the Seychelles.

“Following this expansion, Classic Vacations will continue to grow its preferred portfolio, introducing new destinations and hotel partners aligned with advisor demand,” the company said.
