Welcome

Thank you for joining us on our Passages Journey!

My name is Sari Freeman, and I am the founder and CEO of Passages of Distinction. I’ve been thrilled to be at the helm of this company for over 20 years, and have made it my life’s work.

Here at Passages of Distinction, we are passionate about creating meaningful travel experiences. We aim to do this by curating an exclusive collection of privately owned hotels and destination management companies that you can trust to deliver excellence. Each of our amazing Collection members are hand picked and vetted to ensure the finest quality and service.

Our lens is that of an experienced and discerning traveler. Each of our privately owned hotels offer their own unique spirit and an authentic sense of place, all while creating a rare at-home atmosphere in some of the world’s most desired destinations. Our DMC’s create stunning exclusive experiences that unlock the true essence of their destinations. For those looking to make travel dreams a reality, you can trust that our members will be just what you’re looking for.

We return from all of our journeys inspired and transformed. Our hope is that you will be too!
