“ Working with Matilde and the team at Iconoclast Hotels has been outstanding. As my team and I began looking for properties to add to our portfolio we looked to Iconoclast and were thrilled with the collection.
The Iconoclast team spent time to educate us on each property, to explore positioning strategies and to provide marketing assets and support. Our Sky Vacations team considers Matilde and Iconoclast as key partners to our success and we're looking forward to more opportunities to work together. ”

“ Matilde is an incredible professional and amazing person to work with. Her passion for the hospitality is contagious. In addition to excelling at sales, Matilde has deep knowledge of the hotel operations along with business acumen and her years of industry expertise, which combines into a well-rounded and savvy business professional. But above all stands her wonderful personality, her genuine love to the property she represents, coupled with her relations with travel advisors, many of whom are her friends for many years.What really appealed to me when working with Matilde is her deep knowledge of the territory, cities, history, knowing smallest details such as producer of the furniture, designers involved, and love to the places she represents.
Matilde is detailed orientated and with great customer relation skills.
I highly recommend her as a professional. ”
