Imagine checking into a gorgeous boutique hotel and being greeted with:
“Welcome, we’ve upgraded you.”
“Breakfast is included — every day.”
“We’ve added a resort credit for you to use at the spa or bar.”
No credit card hack. No influencer discount. No celebrity status.
Just… VIP perks.
And yes — it’s real, and you can absolutely have this. The secret isn’t who you are. It’s how you book.
Welcome to Virtuoso.
So, What Is Virtuoso?
Virtuoso is an invitation-only network of the world’s best luxury hotels, resorts, cruise lines, and travel advisors. Think of it as the industry’s backstage pass — a private partnership system that lets travelers unlock perks that aren’t available on public travel sites.
Hotels love working with Virtuoso guests because they know we’re sending travelers who value service, quality, and relationships — so they roll out the red carpet.
And here’s the best part:
You don’t pay extra.
Rates through Virtuoso are usually:
The same as the hotel’s direct rate
Or sometimes better (especially with promotions)
But they come with perks.
What Kind of Perks Are We Talking About?
While perks vary by property and travel dates, these are the classics:
VIP Perk | Value |
Room upgrade (when available) | $$$+ value, especially at luxury hotels |
Daily breakfast for two | Saves $40–$100 per day |
Resort / spa / dining credit | Typically $100+ per stay |
Early check-in / late check-out (when available) | More vacation time |
Welcome amenities | Champagne, desserts, etc. |
Better room placement | Think: ocean view vs parking lot view |
These perks can easily add hundreds of dollars in value to your trip — sometimes even more on high-end stays.
Why You Won’t Find These Perks on Expedia or Booking.com
Online travel sites focus on volume. Virtuoso focuses on relationships and experience.
Booking platforms will never:
Call the hotel on your behalf
Note your anniversary
Request the room with the best sunrise view
Ensure your connecting rooms stay connected
Advocate if something goes wrong
A Virtuoso travel advisor ( that’s me) does all of that for you.
Real Talk: Do You Lose Flexibility?
Nope.
Virtuoso bookings typically:
Offer the same cancellation policies
Count toward hotel loyalty points
Are paid directly to the hotel
So you keep your Marriott / Hilton / Hyatt loyalty perks and add Virtuoso benefits on top.
It’s basically the double-win of travel.
So How Do You Get These Perks?
It’s simple:
You book through a Virtuoso Travel Advisor (Like me;)
You tell me:
Where you want to go
Dates
Rough budget
Traveler vibe (romantic, family-friendly, wellness, etc.)
I match you to the best hotel for your style and book you with every possible perk built in.
No planning fees for hotel-only bookings. No pressure. Just good travel, well done.
Who Is This Perfect For?
✔ Couples planning a romantic getaway
✔ Families who want a smooth, stress-free trip
✔ Friends planning a celebration trip
✔ Solo travelers who want to feel welcomed, not alone
✔ Anyone who loves beautiful hotels and thoughtful experiences
