What you receive
Same rate as direct. Everything else added.
QL House books these hotels as a preferred partner. The rate matches the hotel's own for the same room and dates; the benefits below are confirmed by the property at booking.
How hotel booking worksRoom upgrade on arrival
Subject to availability. We ask every time, and the hotels usually say yes.
Daily breakfast for two
À la carte where the property offers it, never a buffet voucher.
Early check-in, late check-out
Requested in advance and confirmed on the day, so arrival and departure fit the flights rather than the other way round.
Hotel credit
Typically US$100 per stay toward dining, spa or experiences on property.
One personal manager
Transfers, tables, experiences and timings handled quietly before and during the stay.
Not on the list?
We book 1,800 hotel programmes.
The guides cover the houses we are asked about most. Name any five-star hotel and the dates, and a personal manager confirms the rate and benefits within 24 hours.
