The Marketers’ Senate

Celebrities sure do seem to have a great life. Their every day
lives are ones filled with glamour, and their vacations are even
more spectacular! But just because you aren’t rich and famous,
doesn’t mean you can’t travel like a celebrity! Today, the
Hollywood Elite, A-list Stars, musicians, politicians, and the
super-rich are followed more closely than ever before. Because
of this, we know exactly where they go when they want to unwind
and where they go to be pampered. If you are looking for some
well deserved pampering, rest, relaxation, good food, or even
star-gazing (Hollywood or that other kind!) then check out some
favorite celebrity getaways.

Alfajiri Villas, Diani Beach, Kenya - The latest craze in
celebrity travel is a trip to Africa. Whether you partake in a
safari excursion, or rest in relax in one of the grand
resorts…. a trip to Africa will open all of your senses. No
wonder celebrities from Teri Hatcher to Oprah to Tiger Woods are
taking the time to visit this vast and amazing continent. Luxury
accomodations are becoming more abundant throughout Africa, but
the Alfajiri Villas are one of the tops. You can choose to stay
at the Ciff Villa, Garden Villa, or Beach Villa. The scenery and
nature surrounding the area are spectacular… And for the
family oriented there are many options for kids. Just ask Brad
Pitt and Angelina Jolie who stayed there early in their
relationship. Location: Ukunda, Kenya

Grand Hyatt and Park Hyatt Tokyo - The Park Hyatt may be
the hotel shown in Lost in Translation with Scarlett Johanson
and Bill Murray, but the Grand Hyatt Tokyo is equally popular.
The Grand Hyatt boasts itself as a great destination for all
kinds of activities, such as weddings, fine dining, and state of
the art recreation and relaxation facilities. Perhaps that is
why celebrities such as Dave Grohl and Chris Martin opt to stay
there when they travel to Tokyo. The Park Hyatt Tokyo is also
considered one of the best hotels in Tokyo, if not in the world.
This spectacular hotel which caters to long term visitors
looking for someplace to live as much as visit, has become even
more popular since Sofia Coppola showcased it in Lost in
Translation. Location: 6-10-3 Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan, 106-0032
(Grand Hyatt Tokyo) - Location: 3-7-1-2 Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo,
Japan 163-1055 (Park Hyatt Tokyo)

The Ivy London - If you are interested in checking
celebrities in their natural environment, then you have to know
where to be. Sometimes, knowing where to be isn’t enough because
you may not be able to get into that exclusive club, or have
reservations for that fabulous restaurant. But, if you plan far
enough in advance (6 months or more) than you too can dine with
the the rich and famous. Getting in to the Ivy is the most
exciting part, but once you get in then there are plenty of
options for some culinary exploration. So when traveling to
London, plan a trip to the Ivy and you are nearly guaranteed to
have a celebrity sighting. David Beckham, Victoria Beckham (Posh
Spice), Elton John, Nigella Lawson, and the rest of the UK’s
elite have all been seen munching and sipping at the Ivy.

Chez Michel in Villefranche-sur-Mer - Chez Michel’s is a
reasonably sized, reasonably priced French restaurant serving
unbelievably authentic Provencal food. The restaurant is owned

menu filled with fresh ingredients and plenty of local flavor.
The atmosphere is comfortable and warm with Provencal landscape
murals along the walls. It will be very easy to immerse yourself
in the good wine, good food, and good conversation. So good in
fact, that you may not even notice celebrities such as Sheryl
Crow and Lance Armstrong sitting at the table next to
you!Location: Place Amélie Pollonais, Villefrance-sur-Mer,
France - Telephone: 04-93-76-73-24

located on the southern end of Baja California… a hop skip and
a jump away from L.A. and yet a fabulous and quick getaway for
celebrities. The area boasts great weather, scenery, outdoor
activities, and plush resorts. Palmilla at Los Cabos was founded
in the 50s (back when it was reachable only by plane or boat)
and started catering to celebrities from the get go. John Wayne,
Lucille Ball, Bing Crosby, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower
all escaped to be pampered at Los Cabos. Some of the more recent
celebrities to stay at the Palmilla include Jessica Alba and
Cash Warren. Location: San José del Cabo, B.C.S. Mexico -
