Have you ever stepped into a hotel and felt that spark of possibility? That feeling is what first drew me into travel, and it still shapes every journey I take — and every itinerary I craft for my clients.
I’m Steve Michailidis, a London-based luxury travel advisor with a simple belief: the right hotel doesn’t just give you somewhere to sleep. It defines the entire trip.
Why Work With a Luxury Travel Advisor?
Most travellers book direct and never know what they’re missing. As a Four Seasons Preferred Partner, Rosewood Elite advisor, and Virtuoso-affiliated agent through Fora Travel, I unlock perks — room upgrades, daily breakfast, hotel credits, early check-in and late check-out — that simply aren’t available when you book on your own. And there are no booking fees. Get a Free Quote →
What I offer goes beyond perks, though. It’s the kind of insider knowledge that only comes from actually staying in these hotels, knowing the local teams, and understanding which room category is worth the upgrade and which isn’t.
My Expertise
Greece and the Mediterranean
Growing up in Greece and returning several times a year means I know this part of the world at a level most advisors don’t. I’ve stayed at and built relationships with the teams at some of the finest properties in the country — from clifftop retreats in Santorini to secluded coves in the Ionian. If a luxury escape to Greece is on your list, this is where I can add the most value.
London and the UK
Living in London and having personally visited over 50 hotels in the city means I know the local teams, the best room categories, and the neighbourhoods intimately. Whether it’s the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, The Dorchester, The Peninsula, or a boutique discovery off the radar, I’ll match you to the right property for your stay.
South Korea
South Korea was one of my most-booked destinations last year, and for good reason. Seoul in particular has quietly become one of Asia’s great luxury hotel cities — the Four Seasons Seoul, the Josun Palace, and the Shilla are just the beginning. I’ve stayed at the best, reviewed them independently, and know exactly how to make the most of a visit.
Honeymoons in South East Asia
Thailand, Bali, Japan, Cambodia, Vietnam — I’ve planned more honeymoons across South East Asia than I can count, and every one is built from scratch around the couple. Whether you’re dreaming of an overwater villa in the Maldives, a private pool suite in Koh Samui, or a ryokan experience in Kyoto, I know which properties genuinely deliver on their promises.
Europe: From the Nordic Lights to the Amalfi Coast
From the grand old dames of Paris and Vienna to contemporary masterpieces in Copenhagen and Lisbon, European luxury travel is where I spend much of my time and energy. I’ve lived and worked across the continent — including Austria, Poland, and Montenegro — which gives me a texture of knowledge that goes well beyond the guidebooks.
Global Perspective
Having lived and worked in Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States, I’ve developed a genuine understanding of what exceptional hospitality looks like across different cultures — and how to translate that into an itinerary that feels seamless wherever you’re headed.
Hotels I Know and Book
I work with the world’s finest hotel brands as a trusted advisor, including:
Four Seasons (Preferred Partner) · Rosewood (Rosewood Elite) · Mandarin Oriental (Fan Club) · The Peninsula · Aman · Capella · Dorchester Collection · Belmond (Bellini Club) · Leading Hotels of the World · Hyatt (Privé) · Six Senses · Virtuoso · Relais & Châteaux · Small Luxury Hotels of the World
