What our members say

Upgraded at check-in

I joined to give it a try and I wasn't disappointed. I've been staying in luxury hotels for years but seldom got anything more than the room I paid for. My first stay with Winston, I got upgraded to a bigger room and a nice note from my new agency.

Room upgrade and $100 restaurant credit

Converted Booking.com “Genius” members here. We were skeptical as I thought they always had the best deals but fair to say I’m a convert now. Our first stay with Winston and we got upgraded to an sea view room with free breakfast and $100 restaurant credit to spend.

Better prices while still earning Bonvoy points

I’ve got Gold status with Marriott and generally prefer to stay with them, so was skeptical I could get a better deal elsewhere. So far I’ve gotten even better prices with Winston, while still earning Bonvoy points on Marriott stays.

Pairs better rates with a much nicer experience

The concierge service handled everything so smoothly for my stay in Paris. I asked for help with my booking and they called the hotel for me to make sure my questions were answered. I’m not sure how they do it, but I don’t want to book hotels any other way now. The perks were nice too!

Aman New York we saved over $700

On a week's stay at the Aman New York we saved over $700 from the rate I saw on Booking.com. Additionally they confirmed I'm on the priority list for a room upgrade upon arrival.

Real expertise from real experts

What I love about Winston is you get to talk to a real person and the expertise I've gotten from them has been truly valuable. The booking portal is handy for browsing and I can always ask questions before making a choice.

Savings and perks for us

I booked a stay at the Four Seasons Florence for our wedding anniversary, Winston managed to match the best rate I could find online and when we arrived we were greeted with a suite upgrade and a bottle of champagne to congratulate us. Thanks Winston!

Love not having to call around hotels

Love, love, love not having to call around hotels to see about which room type will fit a crib for my toddler. I text Winston with what I want and they do the heavy lifting for us.

Team Winston got me an upgrade

Booked in at the same rate Expedia offered, but the Winston team got me a better cancellation policy and a room upgrade. The hotel also left a nice note for me and offered a late checkout without me asking. I don’t know if it’s all due to Winston but so far I’m pleased with the service!

I can just message them and everything is arranged

I discovered Winston as a recommendation from a friend, I’ve been thanking them ever since. We’ve booked 3 stays already this year and apart from saving lots of money I absolutely love the fact I can just message them and everything is arranged for me.

A further $100 in food & drink credits

On my first booking with Winston I got a great rate on a two-night stay but also received $100 in hotel credits that I spent by the pool. I've not found anywhere else I can book and get these perks, not even direct with the hotel.

Not paying more than the couple next door

We're definitely enjoying having the pain of finding the best hotel taken care of, while knowing I actually got the best deal and am not paying more than the couple next door...

Your questions answered

Is Winston membership free?
Yes, Winston membership is completely free. Our privately negotiated rates and the associated perks are exclusive to our travel agency clients, which is why membership is required to access them.
What kind of luxury hotels will I get preferential rates & perks with?
With Winston, you'll enjoy preferential rates and perks at over 5,000 luxury hotels worldwide. We have access to member benefits at renowned brands like Four Seasons, Fairmont, Belmond, Mandarin Oriental, Six Senses, Shangri-La, Ritz Carlton, and many more.

If your preferred hotel isn’t part of our network, don’t worry! We’ll personally reach out to the hotel on your behalf and do our best to secure special perks for you.
How are you able to get perks for your clients?
As a full-service luxury travel agency, our longstanding industry relationships allow us to secure preferred rates and exclusive access to all the key hotel networks and inventory.

Our travel agents are able to focus on making sure each member is looked after and receives the best treatment each time they book with us. Apart from pre-negotiated perks, we also contact each hotel on your behalf reminding them to treat our customers as the VIPs that they are.
Are room upgrades and other hotel perks guaranteed for every stay?
We can't guarantee room upgrades for every stay as those are typically subject to availability at check-in. We find our members get upgraded around 70-80% of the time, but nearly all of our bookings include additional perks that you won't get through other online booking platforms.
Will I still earn loyalty points on my bookings with Winston?
Absolutely! If you’re part of a hotel loyalty network (Hilton Honors, Marriott Bonvoy, etc.), we’ll make sure you continue to earn points on each stay.
What does it mean to be a member of Winston?
Your membership includes direct access to browse and book our preferred hotels as well as their associated perks. You also have access to our hotel booking concierge, meaning an industry expert looking out for you, to ensure you get the absolute best experience wherever you’d like to stay.

Think room upgrades, free breakfast, in-hotel credits, and other VIP perks at thousands of hotels worldwide.
Who am I paying when I make a booking?
When you make a booking through us, you’re not paying Winston directly. We are a no-fee agency, meaning we don’t charge our clients for bookings. Instead, your card details are securely passed directly to the hotel to reserve your accommodation. The hotel will charge your card either at the time of booking or, more commonly, upon your arrival, depending on the terms of the rate you’ve chosen.
Am I limited to what hotels I can book through Winston?
While we have access to specially negotiated rates with nearly every luxury hotel network, we can work with any hotel you’d like to book. You can browse our hotel inventory upon signing up. If you have one in mind that you don't see on there, send us an email to hello@winston.travel and we'll see what we can do.
Do you also offer flights and trip planning?
Yes, we offer full-service travel planning for our high-budget clients (starting at $20k spend/week), covering everything from flights to customized itineraries. However, our true passion lies in luxury hotels, where we excel at ensuring that each client enjoys the ultimate VIP experience. Give us a try, and let us elevate your stay to new heights!
How do you make money?
We generate revenue by curating bespoke travel experiences for our high-budget clients and earning a modest commission on bookings made for our members. Thanks to our exclusive, pre-negotiated agreements, we provide some of the best available rates while ensuring VIP benefits are included for every member.
