Preferred Partner Programs: Virtuoso and other Hotel Programs

Preferred Partner Hyatt Privé Benefits

Probably one of the best benefits with booking your hotels through a Travel Professional, rather than online, we have a great many added benefits that online booking just does not and can not offer. Occasionally the Hotel Websites can offer a slightly lower “Members” rate, but Preferred Partnership Programs are exclusive to a Travel Consultant or Advisor and are not found with the Online Travel Agencies (OTA) or at the Hotel sites.

I am truly pleased to be associated with some great Preferred Partnership Programs. But the offerings not only vary from the Hotel Chains or Groups, but even with the individual Hotels exact benefit can vary. But they generally include: Hotel Credit, Room Upgrades, Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, Breakfast for 2, and a few other amenities.

Benefits and amenities are subject to change without notice and may vary from property to property.
