Virtuoso welcomes 120 new properties to its hotels & resorts program
Virtuoso has added to its roster an array of new properties for its hotels & resorts program this year.
The 2022 program additions include 110 hotels, resorts, spas and private villas covering every corner of the globe, plus another 10 properties waiting to open their doors to the public.
Virtuoso has done this so that as travel comes back, the network’s member agencies, travel advisors and their upscale clientele have a wide variety of hospitality options. These new additions join a collection of more than 1,500 hotels around the globe.
Virtuoso has specially negotiated amenity package offers of more than US$500 per stay in value-added benefits that accrue toward the guest’s stay for Virtuoso’s agencies and advisors. Facilitated access to high-value travellers is achieved through various marketing initiatives, including inclusion in Virtuoso’s digital “Best of the Best” hotel guide as well as within the group’s award-winning publication, “Virtuoso, The Magazine.”
These newest additions span geography and style, ranging from NoMad London to Abercrombie & Kent Villas to Rosewood Sao Paulo. The hotels that join Virtuoso’s program can expect to see market share shift in their direction, leading to increased sales. The 110 properties that joined the Virtuoso network this year have already seen an average increase of 106 percent over their 2019 sales.
Ten hotels are currently part of Virtuoso’s Preview program. This pre-opening partnership provides early access to Virtuoso’s influential advisors for training, networking, and sales and marketing efforts.
