London

Luxury hotels, with the extras added.

Through invitation-only programmes with the world's leading hotel groups, I add room upgrades, full breakfast for two, hotel credit and welcome amenities to your booking, at the same publicly available rate you'd pay direct. Your loyalty points are always credited.

You almost never get the best deal booking direct.

At luxury hotels, advisors like me can use invitation-only programmes that add benefits on top of the best available rate. You pay the same, and receive more.

I also call the hotel 72 hours before you arrive to confirm your benefits, pass on your preferences and make sure your room is ready.

  • A room upgrade, subject to availability, often one or two categories above the room you booked
  • Full breakfast for two every day of your stay
  • Hotel credit of $100 or equivalent for dining, spa or room charges
  • Early check-in and late check-out, where available
  • A welcome amenity on arrival
  • Loyalty points and elite nights credited exactly as if you'd booked direct
  • The same rate or better: I can often match or beat the best available price
  • Rate checks after booking: if the price drops, I rebook you at the lower rate
  • Direct contact with the hotel before you arrive
  • Personal support throughout your stay

Two networks, and over 35 hotel groups.

Virtuoso and SELECT open doors across thousands of independent and branded hotels. On top of those, I have preferred partnerships with the groups below, many with their own invitation-only programmes.
