ScheckTrek Picks
As a former interior designer, and later a set designer for television commercials that aired across the U.S. and Canada, hotels are a particular passion for Vicki Scheck. In fact, it was initially her excitement about outstanding hotels that was part of the catalyst for bringing her into the travel business--and it's a passion that now continues in the service of her clients.
Whether you're anticipating a trip or you just like to look at examples of exceptional interior and architectural design, enjoy an armchair journey through the ScheckTrek Picks.
