Why book Relais & Châteaux with Clements Travel?

Clements Travel is a Relais & Châteaux Preferred Partner, giving our clients access to added benefits and hotel recognition, often at the same rate as booking direct.

Relais & Châteaux is made up of independent hotels and restaurants, so no two properties are exactly alike. A château in France, a safari lodge in Africa, and a vineyard retreat in Argentina may all have different room categories, dining experiences, and included amenities.

As a Relais & Châteaux Preferred Partner, we check the room type, rate, cancellation terms, and any available benefits before you book. Depending on the property, this can include upgrade consideration, early check-in, late checkout, welcome amenities, breakfast, dining credits, or other property-specific extras.

There are no booking fees from Clements Travel, and payment is usually made directly with the hotel. We confirm everything in writing before the booking is finalized and remain available before and during your stay.

Some of the best dining in the world

Many Relais & Châteaux properties are destinations for food as much as for the rooms. From Michelin-starred restaurants to vineyard estates and country inns, dining is often one of the highlights of the stay.

That is why added benefits can make a real difference. Hotel or dining credits, where available, help you enjoy more of the experience and can add meaningful value if you plan to dine at the property. Combined with breakfast and upgrade consideration, Relais & Châteaux Preferred Partner benefits can help you get more from your stay without paying a higher room rate.

What Is Relais & Châteaux?

Relais & Châteaux is a collection of more than 580 independent hotels and restaurants around the world.

It is not a chain. Each property is different. You will find country houses, vineyard estates, safari lodges, beach resorts, city hotels, and historic châteaux.

Relais & Châteaux is best known for great food, personal service, and hotels with real character. Many properties are family owned, and some are famous for their restaurants as much as their rooms.

People choose Relais & Châteaux because they want something more individual than a large luxury brand. The focus is on the experience, the setting, and the sense of place.

Celebrating Something Special? Let Us Know

Many Relais & Châteaux hotels are independently owned and take pride in creating memorable stays. If you are celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, birthday, or other occasion, we can pass those details to the hotel and request any available recognition.

While nothing can be guaranteed, these properties are often known for thoughtful touches and personalized hospitality.

Relais & Châteaux Preferred Partner Availability

Not every Relais & Châteaux hotel is part of the Relais & Châteaux Preferred Partner program. Some properties offer benefits through Virtuoso instead, and some may have different arrangements.

Tell us which hotel you are interested in and we can check the available options, confirm the benefits, and recommend the best way to book.

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.

“Clements Travel arranged an unbelievable adventure for my wife and me to the FourSeasons Popagayo in Costa Rica. Air-transfers- and with Clements Travel connections we received an upgrade to a hillside suite with a pool. No worries, no issues. First Class care”

Trusted by Luxury Travelers Worldwide

“I highly recommend Clements Travel. Dylan is responsive and has good ideas. He's booked several stays for us. I really appreciate that he can book a whole stay for us over text and I don't have to do online comparison shopping. For a recent trip, he booked a stay for my family (including young kids and grandparents) at the Four Seasons in Mallorca. Because Clements Travel is a preferred partner, we got breakfast included, a room upgrade when we checked in, and resort credit. He's great to work with.”
