Travelers book through Chase Luxury Hotels for one main reason: to access benefits you otherwise wouldn’t be privy to. Rooms here aren’t discounted compared to other booking channels. Rather, you’re getting extra value from the benefits instead of a cash discount.
Only three benefits are guaranteed, but they’re big ones:
- Daily breakfast for two
- Special, property-specific benefits (worth up to $100)
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
Other benefits are based on availability. Be prepared to ask since they may not be offered proactively.
Daily Breakfast for Two
Complimentary breakfast every day can add up, especially since luxury hotels often have high price tags on basic menu items.
Each individual hotel sets what’s included in your breakfast package (the details will be shared during the booking process, so there are no surprises). At some hotels, only a continental breakfast is included. At others, you may have full access to the buffet or a set dollar amount to use as you wish toward a la carte items.
In any case, this benefit is offered for two guests per room and is valid throughout the entire stay.
Hotel-Specific Offers
The other major benefit to booking through Chase Luxury Hotels is the property-specific benefit, usually valued between $25 and $100. There’s a lot of variability here, but you’ll know what’s offered before you book so you can determine if it’s something of use.
One of the most common offers is a food and beverage credit to use during your stay at on-site restaurants and bars. Spa credits are another common offer.
Unfortunately, some hotels offer less flexible freebies, which means their value will vary based on your circumstances. Benefits like free valet parking will only be worth something if you have a car, and free tours or activities are helpful only if you have time and interest to fit them in.
Complimentary Wi-Fi
Although many hotels offer complimentary Wi-Fi sitewide these days, not all of them do. When booking through Chase Luxury Hotels, you’ll receive internet access throughout your stay, even if the hotel normally charges a fee.
Room Upgrade (When Available)
Room upgrades are one of the most nebulous benefits since they’re neither defined nor guaranteed. Some hotels consider certain floors or locations an “upgrade.” Other times, an upgrade might mean a preferred view. In the best cases, an upgrade might mean a suite or other larger, more luxurious space.
When hotels are solidly booked, you might not get an upgrade at all. Because of this, it’s always best to book the room type you need right from the start and consider any upgrade a bonus.
Early Check-in and Late Checkout (When Available)
Chase Luxury Hotels doesn’t define when early check-in begins or when late checkout ends, so what’s offered (if anything) is at the discretion of the front desk. As always, what’s granted will depend on how busy the hotel is and how quickly they can turn over rooms. During peak periods, this perk might be hard to count on in advance.
