how to save money at luxury hotels

Have you ever noticed how expensive it is to eat breakfast at a luxury hotel? While it's possible for guests at the Four Seasons George V (pictured above) to walk half a kilometer to McDonalds on the Champs-Elysées, why would you? Part of the experience of staying in a five star hotel is the opportunity to sit in a beautiful dining room (or enjoy the luxury of room service), savor the ambiance, and enjoy an elegant and leisurely breakfast.

Did you know you can get that breakfast for free? All you need to do is make your reservation through a Virtuoso travel consultant. You will typically receive a complimentary daily breakfast for two, a room upgrade upon check-in if one is available, and an "extra amenity" contracted specifically with each one of over 780 luxury hotels and resorts around the world affiliated with Virtuoso. Your room rate will usually be the lowest published rate — and sometimes even less.

Everyone is trying to save money in this economy. Are you comparing online rates at luxury hotels for your next business or vacation destination? A Virtuoso travel consultant can stretch your travel dollar, pound, or euro. Do your research, come up with your best internet deal, and email me the details. If I can offer you a better value, I'll let you know!
