2. Select a property.
3. Enter a check-in and checkout date. Then click Find rooms.
4. You’ll see a popup that asks you to enter the first six digits of your Chase card. Enter these numbers and click Continue.

What properties will I find in a luxury hotel collection?

Each luxury hotel collection will include properties from around the world. Typically, you’ll see just a few properties per location. Here’s a taste of the resorts you may have access to:

Park Hyatt Bangkok

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai

Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam

How can I use luxury hotel collection perks?

If you’re booking a stay at an Amex Hotel Collection property, you’ll need a minimum stay of two nights to qualify for luxury perks. There are no minimums for the other luxury hotel collections mentioned.

Membership Rewards Points

When booking through the Amex Hotel Collection or Fine Hotels & Resorts, consider making a prepaid booking with your The Platinum Card® from American Express or Centurion® Card from American Express. This way, you’ll earn five Membership Rewards points per dollar spent instead of 1x points.

Using luxury hotel collection benefits

After you’ve booked your stay with an eligible credit card, check the terms of your luxury hotel program’s benefits.

You’ll receive some of your benefits when you check in. For example, you may receive an automatic room upgrade or a welcome gift.

Other benefits may not be automatic. If you want late checkout, you may need to call the front desk and ask for it, for example. Similarly, remember to use your daily breakfast perk if you have it, and to spend on eligible purchases if you have credits for them.

Who gets to use luxury hotel and resort perks?

Technically, these perks go to the cardholder who books the reservation. But those on the same reservation can benefit from many of these benefits — for example, complimentary Wi-Fi, late checkout and potentially the resort credits and daily breakfast.

Bottom line

Booking through a luxury hotel collection is a great way to access luxury perks, especially if you don’t have elite status in a hotel program.

Select travel credit cards will make you eligible to book properties in luxury hotel collections. You can compare travel credit cards to find one that’s right for you.
