1. Sign Up For the Hotel’s Newsletter: Some hotels don’t advertise their best offers, but share them with valued customers through an e-mail newsletter. If you’ve had your eye on a special hotel, or aren’t yet receiving newsletters from your hotel favorites, take a minute to check out their website and see if one is offered. For example, InterContinental Montelucia has a weekly newsletter that they send out to all of their email subscribers, where you will find special offers only available to newsletter subscribers.
2. Ask About Paying in Full Up Front: Sometimes luxury hotels will offer a discounted rate to customers who agree to pay for their entire stay up front (usually booking in advance.) As long as your travel plans are set and you don’t anticipate changing them, take advantage of this opportunity to maximize the value of your vacation.
3. Mention Referrals: When booking a reservation, if you’ve been referred by a friend, or found the hotel of your dreams on www.luxurytravelmagazine.com, mention to the concierge how you heard about the hotel. This may earn you an unexpected upgrade when you check in.
4. Show Your Interest: Hotel staff and the restaurant chef want to share their passions of hospitality and cuisine with guests. Friendly guests who show their interest in wine and cuisine to the staff may just be pleasantly surprised over the course of their stay. For example, if you’ve been chatting with the host or waiter about love of a certain dish or local ingredient, it will be easy for them to design an individually tailored meal to share with you a love of cuisine. The sommelier is another good friend to have.
