Luxury is not about money. It is about how you live your life.

When I heard those words on CNN, I knew the bold path Lyons Twin Mansions would take to address the needs of our treasured guests. We have declared for years, we will “treat you like royalty.” And we have lived up to that high standard, never compromising your needs or your dreams. “The economy” won’t keep us from fulfilling that promise nor prevent you from enjoying leisure travel in the manner to which you have become accustomed.


Nate & I had been talking about how we could help you and help ourselves as our surplus dollars poured into the gas tank and rising costs put our budgets in a real squeak/tight economic pinch. We have noticed our leisure travelers curb their stay to just one night when it was always two nights, planning just one visit this year rather than the usual two or three getaways.



Over coffee we talked about that powerful statement I had heard on CNN this morning. How could we apply that philosophy to have a positive result for all? “Luxury is not about money. It is about how you live your life.” CNN 8/26/08 Powerful and poignant – moving us to launch this daring promise.
