I created Sienna Charles primarily to satisfy my own passion for exploration, in addition to my desire to help enrich the lives of people around me by being a vehicle that facilitates luxurious and life changing travel. Nothing makes me happier than the smile or the awe on someone’s face that results from an experience that I had suggested.

With my background in art history, my work experience in luxury and my own taste, eye and passion for real estate and design allow me to be successful at what I do. My true love in life is hotels, and I can easily cut through the diluted industry and know what is truly the best- when everyone claims to be.

As a native New Yorker who began traveling at such an early age, I have made it my life’s work and my mission to visit every inch of this world. For me, travel has always been far more educational and inspirational than anything else. Visiting a new destination is like falling in love over and over again. You are enamored by the scent in the air and the flavors of the cuisine, and the imagery never fails to capture you. That feeling is addictive, and is something that you will certainly carry with you for the rest of your life. Traveling shapes who you are and the way you think.

I hope that through Sienna Charles, you will get to enjoy the hotels featured on my blog, and that you will allow me the pleasure of planning your journeys for you.
