NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jun. 25, 2013– The Luxury Collection® Hotels & Resorts, part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.

“One Kings Lane customers, much like our guests, have an insatiable appetite to travel, explore and discover,” said Paul James, Global Brand Leader, The Luxury Collection, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts and W Hotels Worldwide. “This partnership strikes the perfect balance between our position as the destination authority and The Luxury Collection’s role in enabling travelers to express themselves through the things they find most interesting: art, design and home décor.”

The Luxury Collection brand, through our road trip together, has helped us expand this tradition by highlighting truly unique brands and antique dealers on the West Coast,” said Doug Mack, Chief Executive Officer of One Kings Lane.

The concierge will also assist in booking the perfect rental car – whether it is a vintage convertible for two or a luxurious SUV for the whole family – as well as tracking down maps, programming GPS and mapping picturesque stops along your journey.
Guests booking the package will also receive a USD $200 gift card to use with One Kings Lane, whose curated online sales feature local vintage haunts and undiscovered market gems, which you may have come across or missed on your road trip.
