Magellan Awards | Maximizing Volume: Endless Luxury & Hotel Club Strategy

In a luxury travel market defined by relationships and results, Montecito Village Travel is leading with precision & sustainable impact

With over $440 million in annual sales and a network of 800+ advisors, we’re turning volume into value through a focused strategy, Endless Luxury + Hotel Club. This evolution is two-fold:

Endless Luxury, a robust portfolio of 200+ deeply engaged preferred properties
Hotel Club, a commission-forward initiative designed to drive business to 75 key hotels in high-demand markets like Paris, London, Rome, and Dublin.

Together, these programs represent more than supplier alignment—they reflect a long-term, tactical vision to streamline hotel partnerships, elevate advisor profitability, and position MVT as a leader in volume-based, results-driven collaboration.

Two Programs. One Strategic Vision

Hotel Club

A high-commission (15%) program featuring 100+ boutique and globally loved hotels across key markets like Paris, London, Rome, and Dublin. Built for profitability, designed for efficiency.

Endless Luxury

Our curated collection of 200+ Preferred Partner properties, each engaged with Montecito Village Travel through consistent marketing, events, and direct advisor connections. These hotels form the core of our most effective strategic collaborations.

Together, they form a dual-engine approach that benefits advisors, suppliers, and clients alike—combining personalization with performance.

Turning Volume Into Leverage

With the power of scale behind us, MVT is leveraging its sales strength to secure:

Deeper partner value propositions
Enhanced amenities and marketing collaboration
High-commission models in strategic cities
Advisor-focused booking education and tools

This isn't just growth. It’s structured, data-backed, volume-driven negotiation.

By consolidating partner efforts and focusing advisor attention on results-based programs, we’re unlocking new levels of revenue and engagement across the board.

The Road to 2026 & Growth Powered by Intention

To fuel the next phase of growth, Montecito Village Travel is investing in infrastructure and leadership. We’re hiring a Director of Hotel Sales to drive expansion, improve internal efficiencies, and deepen strategic relationships across both programs.

This role will guide us into 2026 with:

Smarter systems
More cohesive communication
And deeper hotel alignment that scales with ease

Because growth without intention is noise. We are re-defining the future of hotel preferred partner programs.

The tools to take travel to the next level

360° Clarity. 100% Confidence.

MVT’s proprietary 360 platform gives advisors instant access to the hotel programs that matter—Forbes, Virtuoso, FROSCH, Endless Luxury, and Hotel Club—all in one place. It’s not just a directory. It’s a strategic tool that removes the guesswork and helps advisors book smarter, faster, and with purpose. Every listing is clearly labeled so advisors know what value they’re delivering—and what commission they’re earning—with every booking.

Built for Scale. Backed by Vision.

360 is more than a platform—it’s a commitment. Designed to support our long-term hotel strategy, it reflects Montecito Village Travel’s belief that transparency and structure drive performance. By organizing partnerships with clarity and intention, we’re setting advisors—and our partners—up for success well into 2026. This is how we scale—with purpose, precision, and the right tools to match.
