If your sophisticated soul is craving a touch of the bespoke and the unforgettable, the following collection of luxury concierge services, bespoke sports itineraries, swish event-side accommodations, and exclusive global addresses should keep you sated all through the year.
IN A LEAGUE OF CHAMPIONS
League football is probably an even more passionate affair than national football, and nothing comes bigger than the UEFA Champions League Final due to take place at the San Siro Stadium in Milan from May 26 to 29, 2016. Will Barcelona’s hegemony be broken? Will England finally have a Premier League team in the Finals? Who knows, but what’s for certain is that you could be enjoying the extravaganza with full star treatment. While 300 million fans will be tuning into the most watched annual sporting event in the world, you’ll be living it up from very close quarters.
With its large contingent of sports travel specialists, top-tier global agencies, and uber-exclusive services, Roadtrips has been giving affluent travellers and discerning enthusiasts the VIP treatment for over two decades. Roadtrips’ customised package for the Champions League Final includes a stay in one of Milan’s best hotels (Westin Palace, Sheraton Diana Majestic or Sanpi Milano), private sedan airport transfers, preferred seating at the San Siro, expert concierge services, and Spa treatments (should your favourite team actually come a cropper).
