Mandarin Oriental’s Fan Club

We love all things Mandarin Oriental: refined cuisine, sophisticated suites, exceptional service...we could go on. The brand excels at hospitality, and everything is masterfully executed. Their first hotel, the Mandarin, opened in Hong Kong in 1963. Today, travelers flock to their 38 hotels (plus 11 residences) around the world, with properties in Geneva, Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and beyond. And because Fora is officially a Fan Club member, you'll unlock Mandarin Oriental signature benefits when you book with us.

Fora Perks:

• When you book Mandarin Oriental with a Fora Advisor, you will enjoy exclusive Fan Club preferred partner amenities. Your advisor will be pleased to give you more details.
  
  

The Peninsula PenClub

Like the Mandarin Oriental, the Peninsula's first hotel was erected in Hong Kong, this one in 1928. The brand has since expanded, of course, with hotels in global cities including Bangkok, Manila, Shanghai, New York and several others. If you really wanted to go back, however, the Peninsula's parent company, Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, has been around since the 1860s, as China's first luxury hotel brand. Also like the Fan Club, the PenClub is invitation-only, and unlocks exclusive deals, traveler benefits and incentives. In other words, in the eyes of the Peninsula, you are a veritable A-lister.

Fora Perks (perks very by property but include at minimum):

• Hotel / resort credit or complimentary spa treatments.

• Welcome amenity.

• Breakfast daily.

• Guaranteed upgrade at time of booking.

• Check-in/out anytime (as early as 6 am and as late as 10 pm).
  
  

The Dewberry Charleston

The Dewberry is itself a Charleston landmark. The hotel is deeply and proudly connected to the local culture, with a concierge that can curate insider experiences for guests, plus chic, charming decor, courtesy of the relationships honed with artists, artisans and designers over the years. Locals and guests alike love the Citrus Club, the Dewberry's lively rooftop cocktail lounge, as well as the Living Room, an all-day oasis serving food and drinks in a warm setting. We love the details that make a stay here all the more special: hand-crafted wooden bowls in the restaurant, complimentary bicycles available for exploring the town, spa treatments incorporating — what else? — the dewberry plant, custom-designed armoires in the guest rooms, US-sourced marble in the bathrooms. And because the Dewberry is officially part of Fora Reserve, you'll receive VIP traveler perks when you book with us.

Fora Perks:

• $60 daily breakfast credit.

• Upgrade & extended check-in/out whenever possible.
  
  

Mint House

Mint House is gloriously flexible. Their apartment-style vacation rentals in cities all over the US are perfect for both short- and long-term stays. They've taken the "home-away-from-home" idea quite literally: guests can have the fridge pre-stocked with groceries, for instance. Mint House isn't quite a hotel — check-in is facilitated via their app — but the amenities are nonetheless top-notch. In fact, many are actually for sale. Guests can "shop their stay," as it were, if something catches their eye. And when you book Mint House with Fora, you'll unlock exclusive rates.
