Four Seasons Preferred Partner - standardized amenities
Four Seasons has just announced a standardized Preferred Partner amenity program at all Four Seasons hotels and resorts. Quoting from the email blast:
For existing and new reservations from April 20 and beyond, your clients will receive the below Preferred Partner amenities:
This is big news because every FS property is included (including properties such as New York, Hong Kong, Hualalai, and Nevis which are neither Virtuoso nor FHR). This has been a long-standing request - and Four Seasons has come through!
For existing and new reservations from April 20 and beyond, your clients will receive the below Preferred Partner amenities:
• One-category upgrade based on availability at time of check-in
• Welcome note at check-in acknowledging travel agency/agent and amenities being extended
• Daily full American breakfast for two through In-Room Dining or in the hotel restaurant (including buffets)
• Preferred Partner Value-Added amenity (minimum value: USD85)
Here's a link to a list of amenities by property.• Welcome note at check-in acknowledging travel agency/agent and amenities being extended
• Daily full American breakfast for two through In-Room Dining or in the hotel restaurant (including buffets)
• Preferred Partner Value-Added amenity (minimum value: USD85)

Up until now, Preferred Partner amenities have been combinable with any published rate, including free night rates. It's definitely applicable for any room category.

Just want to make sure I understand this - I only get this deal IF I book through a TA, i.e. not if I book direct with the hotel? (4S newbie here - apologies for the dumb question)

Hard to see how this one is worth $85. This is essentially useless, virtually all Tokyo luxury hotels offer everyone in-room private check-in and it is routine to get late checkout. However you left out the one free lunch, that changes it to worthwhile!

If anyone knows any other agencies, please share. (There were some issues about sharing specific agents in an earlier thread -- I hope it is okay to share agencies.)
