Hotel Reviews

Reviews and VIP booking perks at hotels worldwide, from a travel advisor who lived in a Four Seasons

I know what a luxury hotel stay should be like because I lived at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, one of the best in the world. Every review here is based on my own stays, reader feedback, and behind-the-scenes insight from my personal contacts at these hotels. When you’re ready to book, I can add VIP perks like complimentary breakfast, room upgrades, and spa credits at no extra cost.

How to Book with VIP Amenities

How the Booking Tool Works

We add extra benefits like daily breakfast for two, room upgrades, $100 hotel credits, and more to reservations we make for readers at thousands of luxury hotels worldwide.

This is because we have access to exclusive travel agent VIP programs like Virtuoso, Four Seasons Preferred Partner, The Ritz-Carlton STARS, Hyatt Prive, and many others.

Thousands of Virtuoso hotels worldwide can be booked with extra benefits now through my Virtuoso site at no additional cost to you. Use the number of adults traveling to get the correct rate. We’re notified when you book and will add on your kids later.

Request Rates

For some hotels, like any Four Seasons, we’ll need to get rates for you. We use a ticket system for these requests. Please fill out one of these forms to get into our queue.
