Your VIP Amenity Package
Full breakfast for two guests, every morning of your stay. At top luxury properties this represents $60–$120 in value per day — a full restaurant breakfast, not a continental tray.
At select partner brands — Dorchester Collection, Oetker Collection, The Peninsula, Shangri-La, — your upgrade is confirmed in your booking documentation, not requested at check-in. Secured before you leave home.
Aspen Travel Advisors VIP guests are prioritized for early arrival and late departure — on file with the hotel before you arrive, not a lobby request.
A property-specific welcome gift upon arrival — champagne, a fruit and cheese board, fresh flowers, or a personalized in-room surprise. The detail that signals you're expected.
Hotels flag Aspen Travel Advisors guests before arrival. You are a known, prioritized guest — regardless of your loyalty program status or whether you've stayed there before.
Select Properties
First Priority Upgrade Access
Aspen Travel Advisors holds direct preferred partnerships with more than 40 luxury hotel brands and collections. On these properties, our clients receive First Priority upgrade consideration — evaluated ahead of standard Virtuoso bookings, credit-card programs like AmEx Fine Hotels + Resorts, loyalty members, and direct bookers.
The difference between a standard room and a suite at a top resort or city hotel can be worth thousands of dollars per stay. First Priority access turns that gap from a long shot into a realistic expectation.
"The upgrade you assumed wasn't possible — already arranged."

Upgraded Before You Even Pack
Most upgrade programs — hotel loyalty, credit-card benefits, even standard advisor bookings — leave you waiting until check-in to learn your fate. Four of our partner collections do it differently: your upgrade is confirmed in writing at the moment of booking.
Guaranteed one-category upgrade on guest rooms — confirmed at booking.
The Dorchester · Le Meurice · The Beverly Hills Hotel · Hotel Bel-Air · Plaza Athénée — plus property credit, full daily breakfast for two (including in-room dining), and complimentary airport transfers on suite stays.
One-category upgrade — confirmed at booking, subject to availability.
Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc · Le Bristol Paris · The Lanesborough — plus $100–$200 dining or spa credit, full American breakfast for two, and priority access to the house car.
Room-to-room or suite-to-suite upgrade — confirmed at booking, subject to availability.
Hong Kong · Paris · Tokyo · New York · London — plus flexible "Peninsula Time" check-in and checkout, daily breakfast for two, and property-specific amenities.
Next-category upgrade — confirmed at booking, subject to availability.
Plus hotel credit up to $100 (or 10% of your room rate when that's higher), full daily breakfast for two including in-room dining, a no-walk policy, and a dedicated concierge.
Also worth knowing: The Doyle Collection's London hotels apply an automatic room upgrade to Aspen Travel Advisors bookings — no request needed. Upgrades apply within eligible room categories, which vary by property; your advisor confirms the exact terms in writing before you commit.

Book at Direct Rate

The hotel has your profile before you arrive. Your upgrade, credit, and breakfast are already on file. You check in — and it all just works.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does booking through Aspen Travel Advisors cost more than booking direct?
No. Aspen Travel Advisors books at the same rate as the hotel's direct booking engine — the best available rate, not a marked-up rate. You pay identically to booking direct and receive the full VIP amenity package on top at no additional charge.
Which brands confirm my upgrade at the time of booking?
Four partner collections confirm your upgrade in the written booking confirmation itself — before you travel: Dorchester Collection (Diamond Club — guaranteed one-category upgrade on guest rooms), The Peninsula (PenClub — room-to-room or suite-to-suite), Shangri-La (The Luxury Circle — next category), and Oetker Collection (Pearl Partner — one category). The Doyle Collection's London hotels go a step further with an automatic upgrade — no request needed. At our other partners, your upgrade is prioritized at check-in or arrival, ahead of standard guests.
What does "confirmed upgrade at booking" actually mean?
It means your room upgrade is in your written booking confirmation — not a profile note, not a verbal promise at check-in. When upgrade inventory is available, your advisor secures it in writing before you travel. You arrive knowing exactly what room you're in. Eligible room categories vary by property — your advisor confirms the exact terms before you commit.
What is First Priority upgrade access, and which properties offer it?
First Priority means our direct preferred partnerships place you in the highest consideration tier for complimentary upgrades — ahead of standard Virtuoso bookings, credit-card programs like AmEx Fine Hotels + Resorts, loyalty members, and direct bookers. If a suite or premium room is available, you are first in line. We hold these partnerships with 40+ brands including Four Seasons, Rosewood, Belmond, Mandarin Oriental, Maybourne, Ritz-Carlton (Marriott STARS), and the full list above. Your advisor can confirm whether a specific property participates.
Is there a membership fee for Aspen Travel Advisors?
There is no membership fee, no annual subscription, and no minimum spend. Aspen Travel Advisors delivers VIP travel benefits with no membership fees — full stop.
Can I still earn hotel loyalty points when booking through Aspen Travel Advisors?
In most cases, yes. Preferred-partner bookings at participating hotels are typically eligible for loyalty point accrual — Hilton for Luxury even earns double Hilton Honors points. Your advisor will confirm this for your specific property before booking.
Does Aspen Travel Advisors handle expedition cruises and safaris too?
Aspen Travel Advisors is the hotel booking side of Aspen Travel Advisors. The same team also handles expedition cruising (Antarctica, Arctic, Galápagos, Amazon) and photographic safaris. See ExpeditionBucketList.com for cruise guides and ShootingSafaris.com for safari planning.
