Hotels: Canada & Beyond

I love leveraging the power of my relationships to help you travel better. As an affiliate of Vision Travel, a Direct Travel company; as well as a member of the Virtuoso luxury travel consortium, I can VIP you.

You likely know that as a member of Virtuoso, I have access to the best hotels around the world – and can VIP you and give you extra perks when you book a Virtuoso hotel through me. These special loyalty amenities or add ons that are not available to if you if you were to book the same hotel yourself. Consider them just another reason to book through a Virtuoso travel advisor like me. You get bells and whistles booking through me such as breakfast for two each day, usually a food and beverage credit, and, if available on check in, a complimentary upgrade, as well as early check in and late check out. I have the Virtuoso ‘Best of the Best’ hotel catalog below. You can also see my Virtuoso website here https://www.virtuoso.com/advisor/sheilagallanthalloran/travel and https://www.virtuoso.com/advisor/sheilagallanthalloran/travel/luxury-hotels so you can browse all of the hotels in the Virtuoso network.

But did you know that as a result of my affiliation with Vision Travel, a Direct Travel company; I also have preferred partner status with a whole host of hotel programs worldwide in addition to Virtuoso hotels?  I am a Four Seasons Preferred Partner, an Accor Step (Special Travel Experience Program) member, a Rosewood Elite member, a Belmond Bellini club member, a Mandarin Oriental Fan club member, a Peninsula Pen Club member, a Preferred Hotels Platinum member, a Relais & Chateau Preferred Partner, a Ritz Carlton Star member, a Sir Rocco Forte Knight, a Starwood Luxury Privileges member, a Dorchester Diamond Club member, and a preferred partner with Shangri La, Hilton, Waldorf Astoria, Hyatt Prive, Jumeirah, Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and more.

What that means to you is that:

  • if I am booking a hotel that is a member of the Virtuoso hotel program for you, I will automatically be able to negotiate those special perks on your behalf.
  • If I am booking a hotel that is a member of the Virtuoso hotel program, and we have membership in their unique hotel special program, like Four Seasons or Rosewood Elite, I can leverage the power of both relationships to get you both the Virtuoso perks and sometimes even add ons with the hotel itself.
      • For example, just had a client at The Carlyle in New York City, and was able to get the Virtuoso perks, and confirmed an automatic upgrade at time of booking as a Rosewood Elite member. Rosewood includes such fabulous hotels as The Carlyle, Rosewood Hotel Georgia, Rosewood Mayakoba, etc.)
  • If I am booking a hotel that is not a member of the Virtuoso hotel program, but we have membership in their special program, like Accor Step, I can leverage the power of the hotel special program to still VIP you and negotiate some special perks for you.
      • For example, I have a client at the the Sofitel Lyon this week, and we were able to upgrade them, and arrange for a honeymoon treat.
      • As an example of the numbers, there are 72 hotels in the Accor family of brands that are in the Virtuoso hotel program, but there are 180 hotels in the Accor Step program – which extends the special things I can arrange for you. (Accor includes everything from Raffles, Orient Express, Banyan Tree, Legend, Fairmont, Sofitel, House of Origin, One Fine Stay, M Luxury, Pullman, Swissotel, Movenpick, Grand Mercure, Peppers, Faena, Delano, SLS, So, etc. So, if Fairmont Mayakoba is not a member of Virtuoso, as an example, I can still get special perks for you through the Accor Step program.)
  • If a hotel is not a member of Virtuoso, but we have preferred relationship with them, I can leverage the relationship to get special things that you could not get on your own.
      • For example, I had a client at a Small Luxury Hotel of the World at the Soniat in Louisiana have a Future Travel Credit for a CoVid interrupted trip, and we just arranged for a refund as she still cannot travel there.

That means it’s best for you to book all of your ultra luxury, luxury, premium, and lifestyle hotels directly with me (and the occasional moderate hotel), and I’ll leverage the relationships I have to get you VIP’ed and to make your travel experience better.

All of these hotels are around the world. But let me share some hotels in Canada – and just some of the hotels in Quebec and Ontario – just as a sample, and just so those that are looking for holidays closer to home can experience.

Let me know if you’d like to go!
