Luminari Club
About the club
We know great hotels. We applied our high standards to build a club around our love for luxury travel.
London, UK.
Our story
Our background is in corporate strategy, business development and tech, work that rewards precision, speed and high quality. We brought that same rigour to building Luminari, working backwards from what a discerning luxury traveller actually needs, and might be missing out on.
Over twenty years, we learned which hotels mean it and which ones are marketing. We have checked into Aman properties around the world, watched Four Seasons get the small things right, and sought out the independents worth knowing. We kept notes on all of it.
Those notes became The Edit. The bookings became a concierge service. Today Luminari is a luxury travel club for people who travel exceptionally and want it arranged properly, with the upgrades, credits and quiet advantages that come from real relationships with the best hotels in the world.
We still travel constantly, and we still book for members the way we book for ourselves: honestly, carefully, and with a standard we do not lower.

The people behind it
Marta
Writes The Edit, argues the rankings, and knows exactly which suite to request. A background in corporate strategy, an eye trained on detail, and a weakness for any hotel with a tennis court and a view.
Rod
Runs the platform, the systems and the hotel relationships, and makes sure that behind every effortless stay there is something properly engineered. If it needs to work flawlessly, it is his.
Max
A hundred flights in and counting. Rates every hotel on the pool, the breakfast, and whether the concierge remembers his name. Keeps us honest about what actually makes a place special.
I.
You pay what the hotel charges. We are paid by the hotels, and in return you arrive with the benefits and the treatment most guests never see.
II.
We have stayed across the best hotel groups in the world and a long list of independents that match them. We know what good looks like, and we will tell you plainly when something is not worth it.
III.
Every preference noted, every detail handled, every stay set up before you arrive rather than hoped for at the front desk.
Membership is by application or invitation. We keep our client list deliberately small, so every relationship gets the attention it deserves.
