How to get free breakfast, upgrades and resort credits at luxury hotels
The travel advisor secret: same price as booking direct, way more perks.
The secret
Travel advisors with Fora have access to hotel programs like Four Seasons Preferred, Rosewood Elite and Belmond Bellini. You pay the same rate as booking direct but get perks on top.
Typical perks
Daily breakfast for two, a $100 resort credit, room upgrade on arrival, early check-in and late checkout. On a 5-night stay that can be worth $800+.
How to use it
Send your dates and wish list to your advisor, compare against the hotel's own site, and book through them. You still earn hotel loyalty points at many brands.
Jamie's quick tips
- Ask for perks on honeymoons and birthdays — extras stack.
- Find the flight deal first, then book the hotel.
- Shoulder season + perks = best value.
