My Story
A travel enthusiast who has been to 25+ countries and loves to plan meticulous luxury trips for those who don't have the time to plan on their own.
Travel Style
I like to go to both tried-and-true and off-the-beaten-path destinations. I love trips that combine rest and relaxation with cultural immersion. A good sunrise/sunset will give me all the feels (I might just take a couple hundred pictures) and you will see me hunting down the best restaurants, whether they are hole-in-the-wall or have a Michelin star. I love to give recommendations based on my own experiences, so I will never steer you in the wrong direction.

We had an incredible experience working with Sonal to plan our trip to Mexico City. We had planned this trip last minute and we were going during high season. Sonal not only chose the best hotels, but had wonderful restaurant/activity recommendations as well. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged that truly captured the culture, food, and history of the city. Communication was seamless and she was so responsive and organized, recommendations were spot-on, and we felt supported every step of the way. She was always available to answer any questions that we had. This trip exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have done it without her expertise. Highly recommend Sonal to anyone looking for a stress-free, unforgettable trip! We look forward to working with her for more trips.

I cannot recommend Sonal highly enough as a travel advisor. She was incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented in planning our stay at Hyatt Regency Mansarovar, Jaipur, especially since the trip was to celebrate my birthday. Sonal clearly communicated the purpose of our visit to the hotel in advance, ensuring they were aware of the celebration and setting expectations for special touches.
Throughout the planning process, she was proactive, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure our family felt comfortable and well taken care of. Even when certain aspects of the stay did not fully align with expectations, it was clear that Sonal had done everything possible on her end to advocate for us and communicate our needs clearly.
Her recommendations, attention to detail, and commitment to her clients truly stand out. I’m grateful to have worked with Sonal and would confidently trust her with future travel plans.

I would also like to give special thanks to my travel advisor Sonal Patel who truly went above and beyond to ensure the hotel was aware that we were celebrating my birthday. Her attention to detail and thoughtful coordination made a meaningful difference in our stay, and I am confident that many of the special touches were a direct result of her efforts. I couldn’t be more grateful for her recommendation of The Lodhi—it was the perfect setting for a memorable celebration.

Sonal was so responsive and really paid attention to our needs. Super easy to work with and even worked on our booking while she was on her own vacation! Her dedication is unmatched and we appreciate all the attention to detail and help. Thank you!

Marrakech: The Family Edition
Marrakech is a unique destination—the blend of French, African, and Moorish cultures coexisting harmoniously is something to be seen. This is especially noticeable in their architecture, from the Islamic design and intricate tilework displayed in palaces and riads around the city. About an hour outside of the city, the Atlas Mountains offer hikes through diverse landscapes and through old Berber communities that still preserve their way of life. Marrakech holds a special place in our travels as it was our first family trip to the African continent. We stayed at The Oberoi Marrakech—the grounds were impeccable and the service was outstanding. One of the highlights is their kids' club, which our kids enjoyed enough to go back the second day, allowing us to enjoy a hammam experience at the spa. The staff at the Oberoi made us feel at home—no request was too small, going as far as crafting a special pasta dish for our picky eater. The Oberoi Marrakech is the perfect hotel for families and an introduction to Africa.
