where our clients are staying - june 2026

Our clients have been checking into some spectacular properties lately, and we’re excited to spotlight three favorites: a serene estate in County Kerry, a grand hotel in the heart of Oslo, and a sky‑high luxury stay overlooking London. As always, when you reserve these hotels through Huckleberry Travel, you enjoy exclusive VIP amenities on top of the hotel’s own best flexible rate.

Booking through us means you’re treated as a VIP guest from the moment you arrive, with added value like daily breakfast, room upgrades when available, and generous on‑property credits that you simply don’t get when you book online yourself.
