Luxury Travel: Inside The Art Of Journeying Well (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 07/24/10 10:34 AM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 06:10 PM ET

Anthony Lassman has dedicated himself to what he calls, "the art of journeying." His passion to discover and perfect the optimum methods of luxury travel has garnered a wide following from many of the world's most influential people.

Lassman has just relaunched the Nota Bene website, offering a service that reviews destinations, hotels, restaurants, spas, beauty products and therapists, and stores/boutiques. It examines trends, emerging locations, and specialist subjects such as wine and areas of culture. The Nota Bene Review and Nota Bene Pulse allow the users constant access to the latest trends particular to each destination. The new service is available via the i-Pad and has a joining fee of $5000, which includes one year of frequently updated service.

Lassman's motivation for starting Nota Bene stemmed from his frustration at rarely getting definitive, impartial answers to many of the questions frequently asked of travel agents and travel journalists.

As a passionate traveler, Lassman is forever on a quest to uncover the finest experiences in every destination, being sure to revisits them as often as possible to maintain their relevance. Certain places inevitably stand out as "the best" however, so here are some of the locations about which he is most passionate.

I adore lunch at Dar Ahlam, where one can enjoy a simple but beautifully laid table beneath olive trees in a peaceful garden at the edge of the stone desert.

Amble Resorts is currently in the design phase for The Resort at Isla Palenque, a unique, world-class island resort that sets a new bar in Panama real estate. Nota Bene will love Isla Palenque once it opens! To learn more about The Resort, visit http://islapalenque.com/amenities.

I stayed at the George V in Paris. Almost as good as the Ritz!

At $5,000 to join, Lassman can go to where you want to go and check it out for you. After paying the fee though, most of us would have to cancel the vacation. Maybe Lassman could send pictures?

This is anathema to my kind of travel,nothing more nullifying than expensive restaurants in third world/developing countries to me,i d readily try the european destinations though,but it s all too pretentious and rather predictable for my style,i could experience this kind of afluent ambience in my home country or at least near it.I require unknown places/discoveries to make travel worthwhile these days.
