Welcome Dear Guests, It is our pleasure to introduce the second issue of Relais & Châteaux Travel Journal, the new travel and lifestyle magazine exclusively for Relais & Châteaux guests. Each issue is a private tour through the graceful world of these singular inns and hotels. This latest edition is bursting with the diversity of Relais & Châteaux in the Americas—the soaring Canadian Rockies, the raw beauty of New England, southern charm, Caribbean chic, marvelous Mexico, the historic and the contemporary—a whole continent of wonders await in these pages.

This is a special year for many reasons. The Relais & Châteaux North America Delegations bids farewell to our past president, Patrick O’Connell of the Inn at Little Washington. Patrick’s passion and many contributions during his tenure made him a highly effective leader. I am honored to have been elected the new president of our delegations. It’s hard to match the drive of our outgoing president, so we’ve hit the ground running. Patrick, thank you again for your service. This is a year of celebrations, one-of-a-kind events and imaginative moments. Think of Relais & Châteaux Travel Journal as a pleasure trip through the extraordinary experiences we offer. Sincerely,
G
Daniel A. Hostettler President, Relais & Châteaux North America
