Bettina Hahn Osborne

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile!

I am Bettina Hahn Osborne, the Owner, Designer, and Advisor of Bettina Hahn Luxury Travel, a full-service travel design studio curating bespoke experiences for individuals, private clients, families, and small corporations. I’m proud to be a member of the Virtuoso Network and an Affiliate of Departure Lounge.

I believe there is an art to blending sophistication with a playful spirit, and ensuring each travel journey is a fun, vibrant adventure, filled with meaningful memories for my clients. Whether you seek exotic escapades or cultural immersion, I offer the experience and connections to navigate your adventure seamlessly.

My clients can depend on collaborating together on the investment they are making to travel, including high-touch personalized service, where they feel valued. I aim to inspire my clients by helping to research and create customized travel itineraries to suit each client's unique preferences and travel style.

I provide personalized, human-to-human customer service (yes, it’s still a thing), coupled with insights into the finest properties, exclusive experiences, hottest local eateries, and hidden gems at every destination. I ensure my clients enjoy top-tier value by providing access to VIP upgrades, exclusive perks, and premium amenities that are only available through luxury travel advisors. I prioritize my clients' time by avoiding excessive automated responses. Instead, I utilize the latest technology to enhance their experience. You won't find endless call centers here!

I earned my BFA from the renowned Parsons School of Design in New York City and devoted over a decade as a fashion designer for prominent Fortune 500 companies. After transitioning to events, I established my own luxury event design firm, overseeing multimillion-dollar budgets, collaborating with VIPs, booking national talent, and orchestrating events ranging from intimate gatherings to thousands of guests. Recently, I served as the Senior Director of Corporate Events for a leading healthcare corporation, where I produced 160 events annually while helping to maintain the corporation's award-winning culture. My strength lies in my natural eye for elegance and style, meticulous organization, and my passion for celebrating diversity and foreign cultures.

My creative work seamlessly intertwines with my own travel journeys. I’ve traveled to 4 continents, 26 countries, 36 US states, and lived in Paris, NYC, and New Zealand. I’ve taken two year-long travel sabbaticals giving me experience and personal insights into a variety of global destinations and properties worldwide.

I was honored by being nominated for San Diego Magazine’s “Women Who Move the City,” and my events have graced the pages of luxury publications. My dedication to the arts extends to contributing on committees for cultural institutions such as La Jolla Playhouse and the Mingei International Museum in San Diego.

I believe that one lifetime hardly seems long enough to fully enjoy all the beauty and diverse cultures our planet has to offer!
