    There are many reasons to book with a Fora Advisor. But a big one is the complimentary travel perks you automatically unlock when you let me do all the heavy lifting for you. 

    As a Fora Advisor, I can access VIP perks and benefits at over 5,500 hotels around the world, thanks to Fora’s preferred status at these partner properties. Preferred partner programs — like Four Seasons Preferred, Virtuoso, Rosewood Elite and Hyatt Privé, to name a few — are akin to exclusive clubs. Such programs are often invitation-only, and require inductees (like Fora) to meet certain milestones and criteria. 

    And the exclusivity is merited: Perks include things like complimentary spa treatments, upgrades, special amenities, daily breakfast and extended check-in/out times. Such benefits can’t be offered to everyone. 

    Fora is part of every major preferred partner program. And it also has its own in-house partner program, Fora Reserve. Fora Reserve gets you perks and amenities at hotels that aren’t necessarily part of a preexisting program. Or, if a hotel is in fact part of another program, Fora has negotiated unique, enhanced perks you can’t get anywhere else. In other words, when you book with me, you’ll be treated like a VIP virtually wherever you go.

    Reach out to start planning your dream getaway. In the meantime, I've listed a few partner hotels below to spark your wanderlust.

    Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Resorts Collection

    This sprawling resort in the jungly mountains of  Costa Rica is worthy of any bucket list. Come for the wellness (the glass-walled, plant-filled, hilltop atrium that comprises the spa is a sight to behold), but stay for the exceptionally warm service and nourishing, locally sourced food. Book with me to snag Fora Reserve perks on top of Virtuoso amenities.

    Fora Perks:

    • $100 hotel / resort credit, $100 dining / experience credit, breakfast daily & extended check-in/out whenever possible.

    This Fora Reserve gem sits in the heart of Mayfair, steps from Hyde Park. It’s intimate and luxurious, with a zen Japanese aesthetic. Plus, its price point is beautifully approachable — a welcome and unexpected surprise for the level of service and exclusivity the hotel offers.

    Fora Perks:

    • $100 food / beverage credit, a welcome amenity, complimentary daily soft drinks from the minibar, breakfast daily, turndown Japanese tea service, an upgrade & extended check-in/out whenever possible.

    Kit Kemp, the designer behind Firmdale Hotels’ eclectic, chic, bold design, is a master of taste. Warren Street Hotel, in New York City’s TriBeCa neighborhood, is the latest addition to the brand’s portfolio. It feels like a stylish secret, reserved for savvy locals and in-the-know travelers. Expect bold patterns, vibrant wallpaper and a masterful art curation.

    Fora Perks:

    • $100 food / beverage credit, a welcome amenity, breakfast daily, an upgrade & extended check-in/out whenever possible. 

    Passalacqua

    This magical palazzo overlooking Lake Como is a love letter to Italian craftsmanship. The owner, Valentina DeSantis, and her family lovingly populated the gem with objects and décor sourced from Italian artisans as well as their personal travels. Even the hotel’s gardens are a work of art, perpetually serenaded by soft music piped throughout the grounds. 

    Fora Perks:

    • $100 hotel / resort credit, breakfast daily, an upgrade & extended check-in/out whenever possible.
