Book Your Hotel with Prince of Travel

We offer our clients access to Virtuoso, the world’s leading network of luxury hotels.

In addition, we also offer access to the following luxury hotel preferred partner programs:

• Marriott STARS & Luminous
• Hilton Impresario
• Hyatt Privé
• Accor STEP
• IHG Luxury & Lifestyle
• Four Seasons Preferred Partner
• Rosewood Elite
• Shangri-La Luxury Circle
• Mandarin Oriental Fan Club
• Peninsula PenClub
• Belmond Bellini Club
• Small Luxury Hotels withIN
• Dorchester Collection Diamond Club
• Preferred Hotels Platinum Partner
• Rocco Forte Knights

If your desired hotel cannot be booked through one of these channels, we will direct you to an alternative method of completing a self-serve booking.

When you book hotels with Prince of Travel, you’ll pay no more than the best flexible rate offered directly by the hotel.

In the case of luxury hotels, however, you’ll also get additional exclusive benefits to enjoy as part of your stay at no additional cost to you.

These benefits generally include:

• Daily breakfast for two people
• $100 (USD) hotel credit
• Welcome amenity
• One-category room upgrade, subject to availability
• Early check-in and/or late check-out, subject to availability

The exact list and terms of the benefits vary depending on the property and booking channel.

For example, some hotels will allow the $100 credit to be used on in-room dining, while others will not. Some hotels will confirm the room upgrade at the time of booking, while others will be subject to availability upon check-in.

In addition, individual hotels occasionally put on time-sensitive promotions through the various booking channels that we use. Examples may include:

• 3rd/4th/5th Night Free
• Double points
• Extra hotel credit to be used during your stay, for example $200 (USD) rather than $100 (USD)
• Extra amenities or experiences during your stay

These promotions can save you a significant amount compared to making a booking by yourself.

For the specific rates and benefits you’ll receive at your desired property, feel free to submit an inquiry via the booking form.

In addition to on-property benefits, our team of travel advisors will also offer you advice and assistance based on our personal experiences staying at many of the world’s top properties, many of which are documented with in-depth reviews here at Prince of Travel.

We will also be in regular touch with the hotel on your behalf to communicate all of your preferences, request upgrades, and ensure you have the best possible experience during your stay.

Luxury hotel groups offer these additional benefits and promotions to clients of the world’s leading travel agencies in order to capture significant volumes of guest spending through these agencies.

We have partnered with Direct Travel, a top North American travel agency, to offer exclusive access to these preferred partner programs to travellers within the Prince of Travel community.

Many luxury hotels are bookable via both Virtuoso and preferred partner programs. The two channels will generally offer the same flexible rate and largely similar benefits.

However, there may be some differences between the specific benefits which can make one channel more favourable than the other.

For example, if you’re booking a Hyatt hotel through Virtuoso, the one-category upgrade is only confirmed upon check-in, subject to availability. Book through Hyatt Privé, however, and you may get a guaranteed upgrade at the time of booking, which is significantly more valuable.

To take another example, if you’re booking a Four Seasons hotel through Virtuoso, you’ll be entitled to complimentary breakfast for two guests in the restaurant. Book through Four Seasons Preferred Partner, however, and you’ll be able to enjoy breakfast via in-room dining as well.

Lastly, hotels generally prioritize bookings made via their own preferred partner program over Virtuoso when it comes to upgrades.

If you’re unsure, feel free to submit an inquiry via the booking form and one of our travel advisors can help you decide which channel is most favourable to book through.

In most cases, you’ll pay the same rate as the best flexible (i.e., fully refundable) rate offered directly by the hotel.

These rates may be higher than member-exclusive rates, prepaid rates, corporate rates, or other specific rate types outside of the best flexible rate, so you’ll want to weigh up the difference in rates against the additional benefits you receive.

In some cases, such as during property-specific 3rd/4th/5th Night Free promotions, booking with Prince of Travel can result in paying lower effective rates compared to the best publicly available rate.

Yes!

The benefits you receive when booking hotels with Prince of Travel through Virtuoso or a preferred partner program are in addition to the benefits you’d get as an elite member of a hotel loyalty program like Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, World of Hyatt, Accor Live Limitless, IHG One Rewards, and so on.

Furthermore, Virtuoso and preferred partner program bookings are eligible to earn points and qualifying nights within hotel elite status programs, helping you get closer to your next points redemption or a higher elite tier.

Submit an inquiry via the booking form to get started. One of our travel advisors will be in touch via email within 2 business days to assist with your booking request.

Prince of Travel members receive priority handling on their booking requests, based on membership tier.

Our travel advisors will work with you to identify the best property for your needs and help you understand the benefits you’ll receive.

When you’re ready to book, we will collect your credit card information via a PCI-compliant submission process and pass it along to the property to guarantee your booking.

After your booking is confirmed, we will communicate with the hotel on your behalf with respect to room preferences, upgrade requests, special occasions, etc., to ensure you have the best possible experience during your stay.

We charge no additional fees for handling bookings. You’ll pay the same price as the best flexible rate offered by the hotel, all while enjoying extra benefits.

The fee structure is subject to change.

Simply reach out to your travel advisor to let them know of the change or cancellation you’d like to make. We charge no additional fees for handling changes or cancellations.

At the moment, our booking service assists with paid hotel bookings only.

If you’re interested in booking a hotel on points, we’d recommend visiting our Credit Cards page to find out about the best hotel credit cards for earning points, as well as our Points Consulting service for personalized assistance on earning and redeeming points for booking hotels.

As part of the hotel booking process, we’re happy to offer advice on which credit card you should use to pay for your hotel stay in order maximize points earnings, too.

Prince of Travel members enjoy a host of exclusive advantages when booking with us.

Not only do members receive priority handling ensuring swift and efficient service, but they also benefit from our unique Hotel Crowns Program. This program allows members to accumulate rewards for their stays which can lead to complimentary hotel nights.

For a detailed understanding of the Hotel Crowns Program, please refer to the question below.

The Hotel Crowns Program is an exclusive benefit for our Prince of Travel Platinum Members.

For every eligible hotel night you book through our travel agency at preferred partner rates (like Virtuoso, Marriott STARS, Hyatt Privé, etc.), you earn one Crown. Once you accumulate 10 Crowns, you’re eligible to redeem them for a free hotel night rebate, up to the average value of your previous 10 nights.Each Crown corresponds to the base room rate for the night you booked, excluding other costs like taxes, fees, service charges, and incidentals.

It’s our way of saying thank you for choosing Prince of Travel for your hotel bookings. Keep in mind, Crowns expire one year after they’re deposited.

For a detailed breakdown, you can refer to the Hotel Crowns Program Terms & Conditions.

At the moment, our booking service assists with hotel and train bookings only.

We are working on introducing the ability to book flights, cruises, activities, and other types of travel for our clients in the near future.
