New Delhi, July 10, 2016: Recreating the ‘Golden Age of Travel’, that indulgent era where every aspect of a holiday journey was the epitome of style at its finest, is easier than it may seem, says luxury expert Bruce Ryde from InterContinental Hotels & Resorts.

Whether travelling for pleasure or business, bringing to life the glamour, romance and allure of luxury travel is effortless with Club InterContinental, the end-to-end bespoke premium travel experience by InterContinental Hotels & Resorts tailored exclusively to individual guest preferences.

Customised attention to detail is the very cornerstone of the Club InterContinental guest offering and to showcase how it is redefining luxury travel to make dream journeys a reality, the new Insider Guide to the Ultimate in Luxury Travel with Club InterContinental has been launched throughout the AMEA region.
