Want a special experience? At the International Luxury Travel Market in Cannes last December I found many concepts that made me say WOW.

Take Xero Gravity! You fly to Kiruna airport in northern Sweden and there you board an Ilyushin II-76MDK, designed as a heavy cargo hauler and now used for zero-gravity training for future astronauts and cosmonauts. Up in the air, it gives you total weightlessness for several minutes before you return to earth.
Want a special party? I suggest that for small- and medium-sized events you go bespoke, away from mass-market mediocracy. In London, for instance, I often recommend the restaurant Hush, in Brook Street, May fair.
Hush is owned and run by by Geoffrey Moore, son of Sir Roger Moore (yes, the James Bond one). It is a chic and stylish venue. There is a brasserie downstairs. Upstairs there is a fine dining room and cocktail bar with an event space for up to 60. The ambience is low-lit Arabesque style and I think the opulent interior dramatically adds to the overall experience.
My company, GlobalGuestList, recently organized a dinner party for a client here and I must say I was impressed by the quality of food and the professional service.
