Demeure Travel News

Chicago is in the air here at Demeure. We’ve been talking a lot about the Windy City the past couple weeks, after our CEO Greg spent a few days there. And after hearing his glowing review, we weren’t surprised to find out that notable travel guide Frommer’s pegged Chicago as a top City Break for [...]

Sometimes weather can make or break a trip, especially when you’re only staying a night or two (just ask anyone who spent this weekend in New York City!). But during a recent visit to Hammertime with Demeure, travel blogger and St. Thomas native Sandra Foyt discovered that not even thunderstorms could put a damper on [...]

It’s always been a showstopper. But this time, something was different. Christiane Furst is no stranger to apartment #310 in Trump Tower. She has stayed several times previously, enjoying this prime location at one of New York City’s most prestigious addresses. But it felt like a whole new suite when she visited this June. A [...]

We’ve added some exciting new destinations in the last 30 days. The ones that really caught my eyes were from South Africa, as they brought back some amazing memories. A few years ago, I was fortunate to participate in a Global Leadership Congress for the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO) in Cape Town. Terri and I [...]

A few weeks ago, my wife Terri and I had the pleasure of meeting up with all three of our local hosts in the Turks and Caicos. While there, we stayed at the Somerset Estates, home to two of Demeure’s villas on the island. This location is amazing! It’s right in the heart of Grace [...]

Good food, great wine and an 18th century villa.  Doesn’t sound like a bad combination, does it?  It’s the kind of travel that I, as an avid backpacker, can only dream of experiencing some day.  But for Demeure’s CEO Greg Martin – who recently spent half a year in France – it just might be [...]
