Chandards for Travel
- Access Over Availability – If it can be booked online by the masses, it’s not making the itinerary. Exclusive access, private tours, and VIP-only experiences are the baseline.
- Meet the Titans – Every trip must include private conversations with the most influential figures—CEOs, owners, thought leaders, or heads of state.
- Culinary Prestige – Dining is never just a meal. It must involve the chef, the owner, or a setting so rare that most wouldn’t know it exists. Think: cellar dinners, after-hours kitchen tastings, or meals at private estates.
- Cultural Immersion at the Pinnacle – Museums, opera houses, or historical sites are accessed with the director or curator, not a tour guide. If there’s a velvet rope, we’re stepping over it.
- Unbuyable Experiences – Whether it’s a behind-the-scenes moment at an iconic event or a once-in-a-lifetime activity, each trip must include something that money alone can’t secure—connections do.
- Historical & Geopolitical Insight – A trip must be intellectually enriching. Private meetings with key historians, journalists, or diplomats should provide an insider’s understanding of the destination.
- Only the Best Accommodations – Not just five stars—five stars with a story. Think presidential suites, private villas, or historical estates with staff who know your name before you arrive.
- Transportation as an Experience – Forget standard private jets. Consider chartering a rare aircraft, taking an off-the-grid yacht journey, or riding in a historical railcar where world leaders once sat.
- Custom Itineraries Only – Every moment must be intentional. No cookie-cutter tours, no crowded attractions. Even downtime should be curated for the most unique experiences available.
- Exclusivity First, Always – If you’re in a crowd, something has gone wrong. Every experience should be private, invitation-only, or so off-market that most people don’t even know it exists.
Chandards for Events
- Venue is Everything – The location must be either historically significant, impossible to book, or personally owned by someone influential. Forget ballrooms; think private mansions, infield boxes, or members-only clubs.
- Guests Must Feel Like Insiders – Every attendee should leave knowing they experienced something that won’t happen again. Whether it’s a behind-the-scenes moment or an unexpected VIP guest, exclusivity rules.
- Curate the Guest List Ruthlessly – The right mix of people makes the event. Quality over quantity—80 power players are better than 800 randoms.
- Seamless Logistics, No Lines, No Waiting – Transportation, valet, and security should be frictionless. If guests have to check in at a counter or stand in line, it’s not a Chandards event.
- The Best of the Best in Hospitality – If it’s not the top chef, the top mixologist, or the best sommelier in the city, it doesn’t make the cut. The service should be intuitive, personal, and effortless.
- Entertainment as an Art Form – Live performances, interactive experiences, or private concerts must go beyond mainstream acts. Think surprise sets from world-class musicians, intimate Q&As with legends, or artistic showcases in secret venues.
- A Statement Drink & Menu – The menu must be memorable, whether it’s a rare vintage, a custom cocktail created for the event, or a dining experience that feels like theater.
- Zero Corporate Feel – No plastic name tags, no generic event furniture, no PowerPoint presentations. Every touchpoint should feel like it belongs in a private residence, not a convention center.
- The Right Level of Privacy & Publicity – Some events are meant to be whispered about, not posted. Others should have a curated photographer to capture the perfect moment. Either way, control the narrative.
- An Unexpected, Talk-Worthy Moment – Every event should have something that people can’t stop talking about—a surprise guest, an over-the-top reveal, or an experience they’ll never forget.
