Every property delivers a one-of-a-kind atmosphere and elegance, through which location, tradition, historical past and geography are a part of the material of the lodge, reflecting the corporate’s “Sense of Place” philosophy.
However with the group’s stellar popularity additionally comes a heavy price ticket and staying at a Rosewood Resort requires deep pockets (with most entry room charges properly above $1000 USD per evening, excluding taxes and any extras). Sadly, Rosewood at the moment lacks a loyalty program – in all probability as a result of its rich visitors maintain returning anyway and since the model’s focus is on visitor recognition somewhat than the normal idea of a lodge’s level scheme. However whereas Rosewood doesn’t have a loyalty program, the fact is that there are a number of suggestions & methods that may prevent a whole lot of {dollars} when staying at one of many model’s properties and that every one visitors can obtain elite-like perks simply by reserving within the straight away. I hereby share with you the very best strategies- for reserving a room (and even suite) at a Rosewood Resort & Resort. You’ll be able to share your individual methods within the feedback beneath.
On this article:
1. E-book a room by way of Rosewood Elite
One of the simplest ways to maximise worth at Rosewood properties is to e-book a room or suite by way of the the Rosewood Elite program. The latter is an invitation-only program accessible by choose journey advisors, who can provide their shoppers extra perks for stays at Rosewood properties. These perk rely from property to property, however most Rosewood Lodges usually have the next Rosewood Elite advantages:
- Every day full American breakfast for 2 folks per bed room,
- A resort or lodge credit score of $100 USD
- Improve of 1 room class, based mostly on availability at time of check-in (excluding signature suites and villas).
- Complimentary high-speed Web entry for all suite bookings.
Rosewood Elite perks might be utilized to nearly any price bookable straight on the Rosewood web site and are legitimate at any Rosewood Resort & Resort. The upgrades by the Rosewood Elite program are prioritized forward of upgrades for lodge stays booked by way of bank cards and Virtuoso (cf beneath), so your possibilities for an improve are all the time the best if you e-book a lodge keep by way of the Rosewood Elite program.
Basic Journey is a Rosewood Elite associate company and I’m all the time glad to introduce you to them if you end up eager about reserving a keep at a Roseswood Resort (contact me right here).
2. E-book a room by way of Virtuoso
Virtuoso is just not your basic lodge reserving engine web site. It’s the trade’s main community of luxurious journey advisors, spanning over 26 nations and 9,000 journey advisors. So if you e-book your vacation with Virtuoso, more often than not, you may be in contact with a Virtuoso journey agent and never make the reserving on-line your self. There are some Virtuoso journey companies although that supply an internet reserving device, reminiscent of Basic Journey, which is my total most popular Virtuoso journey company.
Reserving a room at a Rosewood lodge by way of Virtuoso as a substitute of by way of one other lodge reserving web site has the next benefits:
- The only greatest cause to e-book a Rosewood Resort by a Virtuoso journey agent is that it means worth for cash as it would get you entry to particular, complimentary VIP facilities and perks, reminiscent of room improve, free dinners, spa therapies and/or distinctive luxurious journey experiences. Virtually all Rosewood properties are lined by the Virtuoso perks.
- Generally, the Virtuoso price is similar to the Greatest Obtainable Price (BAR) discovered on the official Rosewood web site, which is a versatile price that may be cancelled with out penalty. For that cause, you’re leaving cash on the desk should you e-book a paid keep on the Greatest Obtainable Price by way of the Rosewood web site and never by way of Virtuoso.
It’s necessary to emphasise that early reserving low cost charges, particular promotional packages, company charges, group charges, and different discounted charges don’t qualify for Virtuoso advantages. Due to this fact, I all the time advocate to examine the bottom, usually discounted price on the aggregator web sites Trivago and Hotelscombined, after which weigh up the professionals and cons earlier than deciding whether or not to e-book by way of Virtuoso (greatest accessible price with free advantages) or not.
Additionally, though Virtuoso and the Rosewood Elite program appear to be similar (and are sometimes supplied by the identical journey brokers), they aren’t:
- Virtuoso charges solely apply to a number of Rosewood Lodges, whereas the Most popular Companion program is relevant in any respect Rosewood properties.
- Virtuoso advantages can solely be utilized to Virtuoso charges (which is similar to the Greatest Obtainable Price, as defined above), whereas the Most popular Companion program is relevant to all charges discovered on the Rosewood web site (together with discounted and/or early chook charges).
- The upgrades for rooms booked by the Rosewood Elite program are prioritized forward of upgrades for lodge stays booked by way of Virtuoso.
3. E-book a room by way of your bank card firm
While you personal an American Specific bank card, you may e-book a keep at a number of Rosewood Lodges & Resorts by way of Amex High quality Lodges & Resorts. It will give you kind of the identical advantages as if you would e-book a Rosewood Resort by way of a Rosewood Elite and/or Virtuoso journey agent:
- Room improve upon arrival when accessible
- Every day (continental) breakfast for 2 folks
- Assured late 4pm check-out time
- Midday check-in when accessible
- A spa, meals, and/or beverage credit score (valued at a minimal of US$ 100 USD)
Holders of a Visa Signature bank card also can profit from Virtuoso-like additional perks at most Rosewood Lodges & Resorts once they make the reserving by way of their bank card journey workplace and/or pay with their bank card. Contact your native VISA bank card firm to search out out whether or not they provide this journey service.
While you personal a Citi Status Card (USA residents solely) you may make use of the fourth evening free profit: if you e-book a 4 evening keep at a Rosewood property, you get reimbursed the price of the fourth evening, minus any taxes and repair charges. The fourth evening profit is calculated based mostly on the common nightly price of your full keep. Reservations have to be made by Thankyou.com or the Citi Status Concierge and it’s essential to pay on your keep along with your Citi Status Card, ThankYou factors, or a mix of the 2.
4. E-book a room by way of aggregator web sites
Some vacationers want to e-book the bottom room price at a Rosewood Resort & Resort as a substitute of receiving additional perks. The lowest room price at a Rosewood Resort & Resort for any given journey date will principally be discovered on the aggregator web sites Hotelscombined and Trivago. These aggregators confirm lodge costs at a whole lot of different websites (e.g. Reserving.com, Lodges.com, Expedia, and so on ….) and present the place you may e-book the most affordable room price. After you have discovered the bottom price, I like to recommend you to e-book by way of both resorts.com (and submit a greatest price assure in case that resorts.com wouldn’t provide the most affordable price) or Virtuoso (in case the discounted price discovered by way of the aggregator web site doesn’t outweigh the free Virtuoso perks).
5. E-book a room by way of Lodges.com
Lodges.com – a part of Expedia – is considered one of my favourite lodge reserving web sites, primarily for 3 causes:
- You gather credit in direction of free lodge nights by way of Lodges.com’s Rewards program. While you e-book and keep 10 nights at eligible resorts, you’ll get 1 evening free to redeem at one other. Lodges.com works out the common worth of all the ten nights you’ve collected and provides it again to you as a free evening. All it’s good to do is make a free Rewards account and login into your account earlier than making any bookings.
- You’ll be able to usually apply 10% low cost coupons. Sadly, nearly the entire world’s main lodge chains are excluded from the checklist of resorts for which you should utilize a reduction coupon.
- Lodges.com additionally has a superb Greatest Price Assure (BRG) program: In the event you discover a cheaper worth, Lodges.com will match that price (and refund you the distinction) after you submit an on-line BRG declare. The Lodges.com BRG is on the market just for precise itinerary matches, together with property, room kind, and dates of journey (as is the case with all different BRG applications). The BRG additionally consists of an similar cancellation coverage (which might make it more durable on your BRG declare to be accepted).
These three benefits work very properly when reserving a keep at a Rosewood Resort. As talked about above, Rosewood doesn’t have a loyalty program, so you could as properly e-book the room by way of Lodges.com as a substitute of the official web site in order that you’ll get a few of your a refund ultimately (by investing it in direction of free lodge nights). As well as, as talked about above, Rosewood Lodges & Resorts is the one main lodge model that’s more often than not eligible for low cost coupons on Lodges.com, nearly guaranteeing you a ten% low cost on each Rosewood reserving. Take into account that if you use a ten% low cost coupon, your keep is not going to earn credit within the Rewards program.
5. Don’t e-book a room by way of the official Rosewood web site
You’re leaving cash on the desk if you e-book a keep at a Rosewood Resort straight by way of the official lodge web site, and right here’s why:
- Rosewood Elite perks might be utilized to nearly any price bookable straight on the Rosewood web site and are legitimate at any Rosewood Resort or Resort. The one solution to get these helpful advantages (e.g. improve, free breakfast, resort credit score, and extra) is to e-book the room by way of a Rosewood Elite journey agent (because you wont’ get them by reserving the room straight on the Rosewood web site).
- By no means e-book a versatile ‘greatest accessible price’ on the Rosewood web site. As soon as once more, as defined above, you’re leaving cash on the desk should you e-book a paid keep at a Rosewood lodge that could be a Virtuoso member by way of the lodge web site and never by way of Virtuoso, as a result of you may’t obtain Virtuoso advantages (reminiscent of breakfast, free improve, and a resort credit score) by reserving straight with the lodge.
- Rosewood doesn’t have a income based mostly loyalty program, so you can not earn credit with the corporate in direction of free lodge nights. The one solution to make your stays at Rosewood Lodges depend for some form of loyalty scheme is by making the bookings by way of Lodges.com, the place you may make investments right into a free lodge evening for each ten nights booked (which might be spent at different Rosewood resorts).
It’s a bit unusual that Rosewood isn’t rewarding loyal customers who e-book straight by way of the corporate’s official web site, however you could rating free stays at Rosewood Lodges by reserving by way of Lodges.com or get very good advantages at Rosewood properties (as should you would have elite standing) by reserving by the Rosewood Elite program, Virtuoso or your bank card firm.
