How it works

01

Share your plans

Tell us about your destination, dates, and the kind of experience you're looking for — whether it's a romantic getaway, a family trip, or a solo retreat.

02

We match you with an advisor

An independent luxury travel advisor with access to preferred partner-style programs reviews your inquiry and reaches out with personalized options and available perks.

03

Arrive with VIP amenities

Check in knowing your stay may include complimentary breakfast, a room upgrade, a hotel credit, and priority late checkout — benefits often unavailable when booking directly.

What's Included

Perks you can count on

Availability varies by property and booking. Your advisor will confirm which benefits apply to your specific stay.

Daily Breakfast

Complimentary breakfast for two, often served at the hotel restaurant — a meaningful saving over multiple nights.

Room Upgrade

Subject to availability at check-in, you may receive a complimentary room upgrade to a higher category or better view.

Hotel Credit

A property credit — typically $100 USD equivalent — usable at the spa, restaurant, or on additional services during your stay.

Early Check-In

Request early room access from noon, subject to availability — so you can settle in and start enjoying the property sooner.

Late Checkout

Enjoy priority access to a 4 p.m. late checkout, giving you a full final day at the property without rush.

Welcome Amenity

A personalized welcome gift upon arrival — often fruit, champagne, chocolates, or a hand-written note from the property.

Questions

Frequently asked

Are these perks guaranteed?
Most perks — daily breakfast, hotel credit, and welcome amenity — are confirmed at the time of booking. Room upgrades and early/late checkout are subject to availability and are provided on a best-effort basis by the property. Your advisor will clearly outline which benefits are confirmed for your specific booking.
Will I pay more than the hotel's direct rate?
In most cases, the rate is identical to what you'd find on the hotel's website. The perks are added on top at no extra cost, funded through the hotel's preferred partner programs rather than charged to you. Your advisor will always be transparent about pricing before you commit.
Is Stay Upgraded affiliated with any hotel brand?
No. Stay Upgraded is entirely independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or owned by any hotel brand or chain. We work with independent travel advisors who participate in programs that allow them to pass VIP-style benefits to their clients at participating luxury properties.
What kinds of hotels are included?
Our network includes many of the world's most recognized luxury hotel groups as well as independent boutique properties and award-winning resorts. We work across five-star, ultra-luxury, and design-forward categories. If you have a specific property in mind, simply include it in your inquiry and we'll confirm availability and perks.
How quickly will I hear back?
We aim to respond to all inquiries within one business day. For time-sensitive bookings, please note that in your message and we'll prioritize accordingly.
