"The right hotel doesn't just give you a bed in Paris — it gives you a base, a feeling, a reason to return."
Most people spend hours reading reviews and still aren't sure. Trevor has spent years building relationships with the people who run the best hotels in Paris — so you don't have to guess.
Clé de Roy exists for travelers who want a trusted perspective rather than another algorithm. Someone who knows the difference between a room that photographs well and a room worth staying in.
No advisory fee. No subscription. The hotels pay commission directly — which means Trevor's only incentive is to find you somewhere genuinely right for you.
Trevor has an instinct for finding exceptional hotels at rates that regularly surprise his clients. The goal is never the most expensive option — it's the most right one.
When you add contractual upgrades, daily breakfast for two, and hotel credits on arrival, the true cost of booking through Clé de Roy often comes in well below what you'd pay independently — for an experience that feels considerably more considered.
Whether you're planning a first trip to Paris or returning for the fifth time wanting something different, the approach is the same: a genuine conversation, a considered recommendation, and everything handled properly.
Trevor recommends the right hotel for how you actually travel — then books it with preferred partner benefits most guests never know to ask for.
Seven years of daily Paris life, distilled into honest guidance on neighborhoods, restaurants, and the places that don't make it into guidebooks.
The same trusted approach extends to the rest of France — Provence, the Riviera, Bordeaux, the Alps — and to select hotels internationally.
Trevor holds preferred partner status with a carefully chosen group of hotels. These aren't perks occasionally offered — they're contractually guaranteed on every qualifying booking.
Contractually guaranteed when available at check-in. Not a request — a standing agreement with the hotel.
For two, every morning. At properties where breakfast is an occasion, this alone represents significant value.
A credit applied on arrival — towards the spa, the restaurant, or whatever the stay calls for.
A note from Trevor precedes every stay. The hotel knows you before you arrive — and treats you accordingly.
For clients who want more than a great hotel, Trevor can arrange a set of curated experiences that turn a stay into something genuinely memorable. Each is available for an additional fee, arranged to your schedule.
Trevor leads private photography walks to locations most visitors never find — early morning, before the city wakes, when Paris feels entirely yours.

A morning with a baker, an hour with a perfumer, a designer's atelier before it opens. Trevor's network in Paris's artisan world opens doors that aren't on any map.

Photography: Trevor Roy
Trevor came to Paris as a florist. His brand, Fleurs de Roy, became part of the city's hotel world — creating bespoke arrangements for some of Paris's most celebrated properties and the people who run them.
Those relationships — with hotel GMs, concierges, and the artisans who give Paris its character — are the foundation of everything Clé de Roy offers. The hotels Trevor recommends aren't chosen from a catalogue. They're properties he knows, and whose teams know him.
Trevor Roy · Paris
"I moved to Paris and decided to stay — which meant learning it the way a resident does, not a tourist."
Seven years in, Trevor knows Paris the way you can only know a city you've actually lived in: its moods, its neighborhoods, which hotels have genuinely improved and which are coasting on reputation.
His background is in Paris's artisan world — he built Fleurs de Roy, a bespoke floral brand that placed him at the heart of the city's hotel culture, working alongside GMs, chefs, and the makers whose studios most visitors walk past without knowing what's inside.
Clé de Roy operates through Fora Travel, one of the leading travel advisory networks in North America. It combines the warmth of a personal recommendation with the structure of a properly run advisory.
Trevor works primarily with Canadian and North American travelers — people who want Paris to feel considered rather than managed.
There's no form that replaces a conversation. Tell Trevor where you're thinking of going, when, and what matters to you — and he'll take it from there.
