VIP perks
How VIP perks actually work
Luxury hotels reserve a set of extras for bookings that come through trusted advisor channels. When we book your stay through Fora's partner programs, those extras can attach to your reservation — at no cost to you.
What you can expect
What you typically get
The exact set depends on the property, the rate and your dates. Here is the shape of it.
-
Room upgrade priority
Considered ahead of standard reservations at check-in, subject to availability.
-
Daily breakfast for two
Included at most participating properties, where the programme offers it.
-
Hotel, spa or dining credit
Applied to your folio and spendable on property, where offered.
-
Early check-in & late check-out
Requested in advance and confirmed on the day, subject to availability.
-
Welcome amenities
A note, a plate or a glass on arrival — the property decides, and it varies.
-
Priority waitlists
For sold-out dates, restaurant tables and spa slots, where the property maintains one.
Why hotels do this
Where our fee comes from — it's not from you.
-
Built into the rate
Hotels pay travel advisors a standard commission on most public rates. The rate is the same whether you book through an advisor or not.
-
Book direct, the hotel keeps it
Skip the advisor and that commission simply stays with the hotel.
-
Book with us, it works for you
The hotel pays our commission after your stay — while your rate stays exactly the same, and you gain an advisor on your side.
That's the business model for hotel bookings — no markups, no membership fees, no catch.
Nothing assumed
How perks get confirmed
Before you book, we check which perks the property actually offers through the advisor channel for your exact room, rate and dates — nothing is assumed from a brochure.
What comes back goes into your quote in plain language, so you see the full list in writing before you commit, including anything that does not apply.
Once you confirm, those perks are noted on your reservation with the hotel, and your advisor stays attached to the booking to follow up on them before you arrive.
The honest fine print
Upgrades are never guaranteed — by us or by anyone. They're granted by the hotel at check-in, based on availability. Advisor bookings typically receive priority consideration; that genuinely improves your odds, but it doesn't promise the suite.
What we can promise: every perk that applies to your booking is confirmed in writing before you commit. If something isn't available for your dates or rate, you'll know before you book — not after.
Let's find out what your stay qualifies for.
Send us the property and the dates. We'll come back with the rate and the exact perks that apply, in writing.
