Discover destinations that feel hand-picked, with every detail arranged around your pace, passions, and lifestyle.
Travel Crafted Just for You
Your most extraordinary journey is still ahead.
Laurel Grove is a boutique travel advisory built for travelers seeking exceptional experiences. As a Virtuoso-affiliated agency, we access rates, amenities, and relationships that aren't available to the public — or to most agencies. A trip I design should feel considered from the first email to the last night’s dinner reservation — not assembled from a checklist. That’s the standard I hold myself to and why clients come to me for milestone trips, multi-generational family travel, and the kind of annual escape worth building a relationship around.
For the trip you always said you'd take.

Meet Brigitte
I've been traveling my whole life — and for the past sixteen years, rarely alone. I've taken my family everywhere, from the time my kids were small enough to sleep through a transatlantic flight. From five-star properties in Bora Bora to Maui, the Amalfi coast to the hill towns of Provence, and the backstreets of Tokyo — travel has been how I've marked time and celebrated what matters.
Spending many years as a marketing executive for hospitality and premium home brands taught me that the details people remember are almost never the obvious ones. I founded Laurel Grove Travel to bring that instinct to every itinerary I design.
Laurel Grove Travel is affiliated with Departure Lounge, a Virtuoso-member agency, giving my clients access to preferred rates, suite upgrades, resort credits, and VIP recognition at more than 1,600 properties worldwide — Four Seasons, Aman, One & Only, Leading Hotels of the World, and Rosewood among them. That trip you've always said you'd take — I'd love to help you finally take it.
Your Questions, Answered
What does a travel advisor do that I can't?
While you can effectively arrange your own travel using booking sites, review platforms and AI, a travel advisor gets you access to exclusive privileges and insider knowledge. Our affiliation with Virtuoso and Departure Lounge delivers perks and service that no direct booking ever will. Plus, our community of 240 global travel advisors feeds real-time intel that goes beyond what AI tools can surface. And, more often than not, we deliver your trip at the same price.

Do you charge planning fees?
A transparent planning fee is outlined after our first conversation, reflecting the complexity of your trip. The fee covers the time it takes to research, book, coordinate, and troubleshoot anything related to your journey. Typically, the planning fee pays for itself before you board the plane — in upgrades, credits, and saved hours.
What happens if plans change while I’m traveling?
Our support team remains on call 24/7 to adjust reservations, coordinate new arrangements, and ensure your journey stays on track. Air travel support is provided by VWT, a division of JP Morgan Chase Travel Services.
