Dorchester Collection has enhanced its Diamond Club program by introducing complimentary airport transfers for guests booking a one-bedroom suite or higher.

The new benefit applies across the Dorchester Collection portfolio and adds another valuable inclusion for guests booking through a Diamond Club travel advisor such as Clements Travel.

Diamond Club was already one of the better luxury hotel preferred partner programs. Eligible room reservations receive a guaranteed one-category upgrade at the time of booking, rather than waiting until check-in to see what may be available.

Other benefits typically include daily breakfast for two, hotel credits and additional upgrade priority on arrival.

Complimentary Airport Transfers for Suite Guests

Guests booking a one-bedroom suite or higher now receive complimentary airport transfers.

This is a substantial benefit at hotels in cities such as London and Paris, where a luxury airport transfer can easily cost more than $300 each way.

A guest booking a qualifying suite could therefore save more than $600 on return airport transfers before taking the other Diamond Club benefits into account.

The value becomes even greater when combined with breakfast, hotel credits and the guaranteed upgrade confirmed at the time of booking.

Diamond Club Suite Credits

Dorchester Diamond Club benefits are particularly valuable when booking suites.

Rooms and junior suites usually receive a hotel credit of 100 in local currency per stay, while suites usually receive 100 in local currency for each night of the stay.

That can add up quickly on a longer booking. A five-night suite stay could include 500 in local currency to spend on dining, spa treatments or other hotel services.

Combined with complimentary airport transfers, breakfast and a guaranteed upgrade, the overall value can run into the thousands of dollars during a longer stay.

Why Diamond Club Is One of the Best Hotel Programs

One reason Dorchester Diamond Club is one of the best preferred partner programs in the industry is the location of the hotels themselves.

Dorchester Collection operates in some of the most competitive luxury hotel cities in the world, including Los Angeles, Dubai, London and Paris.

Competition at the top end of the market is fierce in these destinations. Dorchester Collection is competing against brands including Four Seasons, Rosewood, Mandarin Oriental, Peninsula and several major independent hotels.

That means Diamond Club needs to offer enough value to give guests a reason to choose a Dorchester Collection hotel over the alternatives.

A guaranteed upgrade at booking is already unusual, and the addition of complimentary airport transfers for qualifying suites makes the program even harder to beat.
