Triumph Hotels: Hotel Belleclaire, Hotel Edison, Hotel Evelyn & the Iroquois

Triumph Hotels has a knack for charming, well-designed boutique gems in New York City. (The Frederick, also part of their portfolio, is also partnered with us.) Hotel Belleclaire is housed in a handsome Beaux Art building on the Upper West Side, steps from Central Park; Hotel Edison is a lively art-nouveau stay near Times Square; the stylish Hotel Evelyn, in NoMad, celebrates its location’s rich musical and artistic heritage; and the Iroquois is a sophisticated option in Midtown. (James Dean, The Clash and other luminaries have even called the Iroquois home.) 

Our Perks:

  • Exclusive rates, waived daily destination fee, access to Triumph Wine Hours and historic walking tours & an upgrade whenever possible.

Amirandes, Grecotel Boutique Resort & Cape Sounio Grecotel Boutique Resort

As a brand, Grecotel excels at building beautiful, five-star boutique hotels in Greece. Amirandes, in Crete, and Cape Sounio, on the Athenian Riviera, are no exception. You’ll feel like royalty at Amirandes, which is no surprise, considering the resort was modeled after Minoan palaces and the sprawling residences of Venetian nobles. Sleek stone and towering archways surround a series of tiered reflection pools. The hotel refers to itself as a “water palace,” with its beachfront swimming pool and proximal coves and sea lagoons. 

Cape Sounio is a glamorous, serene option on the Athenian Riviera, perhaps one of Greece’s most in-demand locations. The resort’s breezy, minimalist bungalows, suites and villas are arranged in such a way as to resemble an amphitheater. You’ll be able to take in views of the sea or the nearby ancient Temple of Poseidon (or both!).

Our Perks:

  • £75 hotel / resort credit, breakfast daily & an upgrade whenever possible.

RhomTrip

RhomTrip works with us to arrange private transfers, chauffeur services, personalised transports and more. Whether you’re after a luxe limo experience to celebrate a special occasion, a full-blown congressional pick-up, end-to-end airport transfers, a seamless way to get your entire group from point A to B or something else entirely, RhomTrip delivers. Expect five-star service all the way.

The Other House South Kensington

The Other House has redefined what a hotel can be. In fact, it can be whatever you want it to: a hotel, an apartment, a pied-à-terre, a homebase for a special occasion. You can stay for a night, a month — even a year. Choose from studio-style Club Flats, apartment-style Greater Flats, multi-bedroom Club Combos (perfect for groups and families) and spacious accommodations in the prestigious Club Collection. Sumptuous fabrics, moody hues, posh patterns and a stately British cool feature throughout. The Other House is also a private club; as a guest, you’re automatically admitted. Take advantage of its sauna, steam room, gym, pool, private lounges and slew of VIP events. 

Our Perks:

  • £50 food / beverage credit, exclusive rates, bespoke amenities & full access to member areas.

Sea Containers

This modern retreat, in the up-and-coming South Bank, is housed in the original headquarters of a sea-container company (hence the name). It’s blissfully removed from the busyness of London’s West End, but is still located near all the action. The décor is hip and contemporary, with a monochromatic palette complemented by the keenly placed pop of colour. 

A big standout is the hotel’s comprehensive wellness centre. It’s equipped with an intimate cinema, outfitted with 56 comfy seats upholstered in soft blue fabric. The agua Spa is a veritable urban oasis, with dreamy treatment rooms and luxe, beautifully designed relaxation spaces. (There’s even a relaxation room dedicated to travellers who’ve just arrived, lest their rooms aren’t quite yet ready.)

Our Perks:

  • £75 hotel / resort credit, a welcome drink, breakfast daily, an upgrade & extended check-in/out whenever possible.

Canne Bianche

Canne Bianche, which sits on the coast near the charming village of Fasano, embrace’s Puglia’s laid-back, authentic charm. 

Each of the 50 rooms and suites reflects its stunning natural surroundings; soothing neutrals and warm hues echo the idyllic coastline. The hotel’s dedication to its environs extends to the food. Local products, culinary tradition and expertly executed simplicity reign. Even the spa uses natural products inspired by the sea. Take advantage of its luxe showers, Turkish bath and saunas before enjoying a rejuvenating holistic treatment. 

Our Perks:

  • Welcome amenities, breakfast daily, a complimentary 60-minute spa experience, an upgrade & extended check-in/out whenever possible.

FH55 Hotels

FH55’s cosy properties are all romantic, charming and beautifully priced. We’re thrilled to officially welcome four FH55 gems — Hotel Calzaiuoli, Hotel Villa Fiesole and Grand Hotel Mediterraneo, in Florence, plus Grand Hotel Palatino, in Rome.

Hotel Calzaiuoli is elegant and refined, right in the heart of Florence between the city’s famed cathedral and Uffizi Gallery. Grand Hotel Mediterraneo is also centrally located, and is ideal for business travel, especially with its large collection of meeting rooms. For something a bit outside the city, head to Hotel Villa Fiesole. It’s located in a renovated medieval home in the Tuscan countryside, complete with unmatched views of Florence and the surrounding rolling hills. In Rome, Grand Hotel Palatino beckons. It’s steps away from some of the city’s unmissable landmarks, like the Colosseum and Roman Forum. 

The staff are kind, courteous and attentive, delivering hyper-personalized service. (You’ll be able to select your preferred pillow from each hotel’s pillow menu, for instance.)

Our Perks:

  • Welcome amenities, breakfast daily, an upgrade & extended check-in/out whenever possible.

L’oscar London

L’oscar’s baroque, ornate aesthetic is the work of Jacques Garcia, a renowned French designer and architect. The hotel is playful and regal, replete with gilded panels, walls dripping with leather and velvet, eclectic objets d’art, bold patterns and a more-is-more ethos that works. You’ll love the hotel’s unapologetic cheekiness and refreshing irreverence.

It’s located in Holborn, near Covent Garden, and is within walking distance of stylish boutiques, buzzy restaurants and famed attractions like the British Museum and Royal Opera House. After a day of exploring, settle in for a cosy apéritif or dinner at the handsome L’oscar Restaurant, a decadent retreat bedecked with mirrors, an illuminated onyx bar and a Parisian disposition. 

Our Perks:

  • £75 food / beverage credit, welcome amenities, access to the Covent Garden Black Card, breakfast daily, an upgrade & extended check-in/out whenever possible.
