(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 10, 2010 ) Las Vegas, NV - The Cape Town based book publishing company Outstanding 100 will open its Las Vegas offices with the announcement of a long term partnership deal with US based concierge company Procierge, headed by Chris Hammett.
Having published on South Africa and Ibiza, and with Mallorca due for release soon, Outstanding 100 coffee table books are beautifully photographed and territorially specific works of art, highlighting some of the worldÂ’s most sought after travel destinations.
Not being limited to anything specific except territory, the publications are the result of a tireless global search to create a companion that presents its readers with an array of the most unforgettable hotels, nature reserves, restaurants, nightclubs, adrenaline sports, adventures, wine estates, game farms, and natural wonders.
Founded by Rob Sawyer and Tom Pearson-Adams, Outstanding100 travel guides are published by a team of entrepreneurs who have launched more than 80 exclusive hotels, restaurants and nightclubs over the past 25 years. Their collective experience lends a unique perspective to the series, one that challenges the conventional notions of luxury. By stripping away the tired classifications that define global hospitality, they conceived a modern travel guide that contains select venues which provide unparalleled personal service rather than merely boasting a star-rating, placing an emphasis on the truly unique over the abundantly publicized.
With over 17 years of luxury hotel and private concierge experience, Christopher Sean Hammett formed The Hammett Group in January 2002. Hammett initially honed his client service and management skills working with the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel New York, the world famous Beverly Hills Hotel & opened the new 2.7 billion dollar Steve Wynn resort in Las Vegas. Always a master at putting his clients at ease, he has worked with an array of high-profile, political, financial, and celebrity clients worldwide. The deal has been headed up by Jodi Jacobson from Outstanding 100’s Las Vegas office. “We are delighted to have partnered up with Chris Hammett and his team at Procierge” comments Pearson-Adams. “It will provide a new and fresh approach from which we can push our selected 100 destinations in each of our North American territories. We have an excellent mutually beneficial relationship with Serena Cook (CEO of Deliciously Sorted) on Ibiza and Mallorca and have been looking to forge a similar model into the US. Chris’s history speaks for itself and with the implementation of our new web based platforms, "We are all very excited about and for the future.”
With exciting editions on Nevada, Dubai, Florida, Argentina and Australia in the pipeline, Outstanding100 also offers a comprehensive concierge service. Partnerships with a network of international experts ensure that our readers enjoy the finest experiences that each territory has to offer, hassle-free and at their leisure.
“In a business that is built on the power of relationships and service, Procierge and O100 will be bringing our Outstanding 100 world to you” Hammett comments, “The fabulous experiences and services that our members will have access to will create a tremendous amount of momentum from Europe to the US.”
The South African and Ibiza editions of Outstanding 100 are available domestically and via Amazon. For more information please contact jodi@outstanding100.com.
