Clements Travel can book eligible Leading Hotels of the World properties through LHW VITA, with added benefits confirmed before you travel.

You get the same rate as booking direct, with no booking fees and no minimum spend. Where available, benefits can include daily breakfast for two, hotel credit, upgrade priority, early check-in, late checkout and hotel recognition.

We also check the part booking engines miss: whether the hotel participates, which rate qualifies, whether Leaders Club can be added, and which room category gives the best value.

You pay the hotel directly through its own secure payment process. Clements Travel does not store or see your credit card details.

REQUEST A QUICK QUOTE

Clements Travel can book eligible Leading Hotels of the World stays through LHW VITA, while also adding your Leaders Club details where relevant.

That means we check both sides before quoting: the advisor benefits available through LHW VITA and any Leaders Club recognition or earning linked to your membership.

For many stays, this can mean daily breakfast, hotel credit, upgrade priority and hotel recognition through LHW VITA, while still keeping your Leaders Club details attached to the reservation where the hotel allows it.

We confirm the exact benefits in writing before you travel, so there is no guesswork at check-in.

About Leading Hotels of the World

Leading Hotels of the World is a collection of independent luxury hotels, resorts and palaces around the world.

Unlike a traditional hotel chain, LHW properties are individually owned and operated. That means each hotel has its own style, setting and personality, from grand city hotels and historic European palaces to beach resorts, mountain retreats and island hideaways.

This is why LHW can be a good fit for travelers who want something more individual than a standard branded hotel. It also means the booking route is worth checking carefully, because room categories, benefits, rates and service style can vary a lot from one property to another.

Clements Travel can book eligible LHW hotels through LHW VITA, with added benefits confirmed before you travel. We can also add your Leaders Club details where relevant.

LHW VITA vs Virtuoso vs Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts

Clements Travel has access to both LHW VITA and Virtuoso, so we can check which booking route gives you the better value for your Leading Hotels of the World stay.

For some LHW hotels, LHW VITA is the best route because it is the brand’s own preferred partner program. For others, Virtuoso may be equal or better, depending on the rate, hotel credit, breakfast terms, cancellation rules and any property-specific offers.

We can also compare against Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts if you are considering booking through Amex. FHR can be useful, but it does not always win. Some rates are higher, some benefits overlap, and some hotels may give better advisor recognition through LHW VITA or Virtuoso.

Clements Travel checks all three where relevant: LHW VITA, Virtuoso and Amex FHR. We then advise which option gives the best overall booking, not just the longest benefits list.

Already Booked? It May Not Be Too Late

Many travelers book a Leading Hotels of the World property direct, then later discover LHW VITA and ask whether benefits can still be added.

In some cases, yes.

Send your existing hotel confirmation to hello@clements.travel and Clements Travel can check whether the booking can be transferred or rebooked under our LHW VITA access. If the hotel allows it, we can help add eligible benefits such as breakfast, hotel credit, upgrade priority, early check-in, late checkout and hotel recognition.

This depends on the hotel, rate type, cancellation terms and availability. Some bookings can be moved. Some need to be rebooked. Some cannot be changed at all.

We will check it clearly and tell you the best option before you do anything.

Quick quote

We check the hotel rate, confirm the partner benefits, and send you a clear quote. If you want to book, the hotel sends the confirmation directly with your benefits included.

Does LHW VITA cost extra?

No. For eligible stays, LHW VITA is usually booked at the same rate as booking direct with the hotel or The Leading Hotels of the World.

Clements Travel does not charge booking fees. You pay the hotel directly through its own secure payment process.

Who can book LHW VITA?

LHW VITA is available through selected travel advisors and agencies that have access to the program.

Clements Travel can book eligible Leading Hotels of the World stays through LHW VITA and confirm the benefits in writing before you travel.

Do all Leading Hotels of the World participate in LHW VITA?

Not every hotel offers the same benefits, and some rates may not qualify.

Before quoting, Clements Travel checks the hotel, room category, rate type and travel dates to see what benefits can be added.

Is LHW VITA better than booking direct?

For many eligible stays, yes.

You can often book the same rate as direct while adding benefits such as breakfast, hotel credit, upgrade priority and arrival recognition.

Booking direct may still be useful for some special offers, so Clements Travel checks the best route before quoting.

Is LHW VITA the same as Leaders Club?

No.

Leaders Club is the loyalty program from The Leading Hotels of the World. LHW VITA is a preferred partner booking route used by selected travel advisors to add extra hotel benefits.

In many cases, both can work together, but eligibility depends on the hotel and rate.

Can I use Leaders Club with LHW VITA?

Often, yes.

If you have a Leaders Club number, send it to Clements Travel and we can add it to the booking where accepted by the hotel.

Can a Leaders Club upgrade voucher be applied to an LHW VITA booking?

Yes, in many cases a Leaders Club pre-arrival upgrade request can be added to an eligible LHW VITA booking.

The booking must be made through an eligible booking channel, and the upgrade request needs to be made at the time of booking. Leaders Club pre-arrival upgrades are for a one-category room upgrade, cannot be used to upgrade into or within a suite category, and are at the discretion of the hotel.

Why book LHW VITA with Clements Travel?

Clements Travel can book eligible Leading Hotels of the World stays through LHW VITA, Virtuoso and other luxury hotel programs.

We check the best route, confirm the benefits in writing, add your hotel preferences and make sure the property knows the stay is coming through the correct preferred partner channel.

Does Clements Travel charge a booking fee for LHW VITA?

No.

There are no booking fees and no minimum spend. You pay the hotel directly through its own secure payment process.

Leading Hotels of the World includes independent luxury hotels across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.

The collection is especially strong in Europe, with grand city hotels, palace hotels, lake resorts, ski hotels and Mediterranean beach properties. It also includes beach resorts, island retreats, mountain hotels and city hotels across destinations such as the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Morocco and the Indian Ocean.

Because LHW hotels are independently owned, each property is different. Clements Travel helps you choose the right hotel, room category and booking route, while adding eligible LHW VITA benefits where available.
