The world's finest hotels, with a little something extra.


Did you know that booking a luxury hotel through DIY Travel can give you access to complimentary amenities, preferred rates, and VIP recognition that you will not receive when booking directly on the hotels website?


Through our preferred hotel partnerships and our affiliation with Virtuoso, we have access to some of the world's most exceptional hotels and resorts, along with exclusive benefits that can make an already wonderful stay even better, now at your fingertips to book all on your own!


And here's the best part: You can search and book many of these properties yourself, right through the booking site on our homepage.


Some of the World's Finest Hotels, All With Their Own Personality


Not all luxury hotels are created equal, and that's what makes choosing the right one so interesting. Let's break them down...


Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton & Marriott's Luxury Collection

These are some of the most recognized names in luxury hospitality, known for exceptional service, beautiful accommodations, and world-class amenities. Through preferred programs, including Four Seasons Preferred, Ritz Carlton Stars and Luxury Marriott Luminous hotels, reservations can come with valuable additional benefits. And now includes yacht charters as well! The charters must be booked through us, a preferred advisor with the company, to get the amenities, but the hotels you can go crazy with and book on your own here.




Rosewood Elite, Belmond Bellini Club & Rocco Forte Knights

If you love hotels with a strong sense of place, history, and character, these are wonderful brands to explore. Think beautiful European palaces, intimate retreats, exceptional dining, and experiences that reflect the destination. All bookable at the link above.



Hyatt Prive, Alila, Six Senses & Other Luxury Hyatt Properties

From sophisticated city hotels to secluded wellness retreats, these properties offer everything from contemporary luxury to immersive experiences focused on nature, relaxation, and well-being.

Tip: Hyatt Prive amenities include a one room category upgrade at the time of booking, (not arrival, booking), if available.


Leading Hotels of the World-LHW, Small Luxury Hotels of the World & Preferred Hotels & Resorts

These collections are particularly appealing if you prefer independent boutique hotels, historic landmarks, and unique properties that don't necessarily belong to a major hotel brand.


And that's just the beginning. Our partnerships also include access to exceptional properties from Dorchester Collection, Corinthia Hotels, Le Méridien, and many more.



So, What Are the Additional Benefits?


Depending on the hotel, preferred program, and rate selected, your reservation will usually always include the below and each program may offer something a little extra as well:


  • Complimentary daily breakfast for two, per room (Ritz, Four Seasons, Rosewood, Marriott Luxury do not usually include breakfast, so this is a huge savings alone!)

  • A $100 hotel credit, or more, toward dining, spa treatments, or other experiences

  • Complimentary room upgrades, when available and sometimes at the time of booking, like Hyatt Luxury Properties

  • Priority early check-in and late checkout, when available

  • VIP recognition and special, customized welcome amenities

  • Exclusive promotions and preferred rates


And yes, sometimes our preferred rates are even better than what you'll find online.


Through our relationships with these hotel brands and Virtuoso, we can often access special offers and added value that aren't available through standard online booking channels.


Of course, benefits vary by property and reservation, but that's why it's worth checking our booking site before making your next hotel reservation.


Here is an example of a Virtuoso hotel, the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, and an exclusive Virtuoso offer and the customized amenities the resort includes when booking with a partner of Virtuoso...which YOU now have full access to receiving these benefits when booking on your own, through our booking site.


Want to Book Your Own Luxury Hotel? It's Easy.

We've made it simple to enjoy these benefits without having to go through the process of planning an entire vacation with us.


Just visit our homepage, DIY Travel, and use the hotel booking site.


Enter your destination, travel dates, and number of guests, then explore the available properties and preferred partner programs.


You can compare hotels, review available rates, and see which complimentary amenities may be included with your stay.


Whether you're planning a long weekend in New York, a romantic getaway to Paris, a family vacation in the Caribbean, or a luxury resort stay halfway around the world, it's always worth seeing what additional benefits we can offer.


Same beautiful hotels. Potentially better rates or the same. And a few extra touches that make your stay even more special and save you money.


Your next luxury hotel stay starts at DIY TRAVEL. There are great four star hotels as well, and some that also include these amenities! Check it out.
