While it’s easier than ever to book hotels online with just a few clicks, the DIY approach often falls short when it comes to luxury travel. Our Ciao Bambino Travel Advisors offer something no booking platform can match: insider connections, exclusive perks and on-the-ground intel that elevates an ordinary hotel stay into a truly special experience.
Get Started
Many travelers think our Advisors are only worth enlisting for full vacation planning, but we add significant value to standalone hotel bookings. We deliver benefits you simply can’t access on your own — at the same rates you’d pay booking directly — while saving you time and ensuring every detail is perfectly arranged.
As a member of the prestigious Virtuoso luxury network and preferred partner programs with premier brands like Four Seasons, Belmond and Rocco Forte, we can secure valuable amenities at no additional cost to you. These include complimentary room upgrades when available, early check-in and late check-out, complimentary breakfast, resort credits, limited-time packages and more. We’ve saved clients hundreds and even thousands of dollars per trip this way!
The luxury hotel landscape is constantly evolving. While online reviews and photos provide some insight, they can’t replace the value of in-depth recommendations from CB! Advisors who have been there in person. Our team spends considerable time in the field scouting hotels and resorts, and ongoing feedback from clients gives us intimate knowledge of details like street noise levels, room configurations, view quality and the subtle differences between luxury hotel brands. This firsthand experience helps us understand your travel style and hand-curate a list of properties that match your needs.
Free time is precious, and few people want to spend hours browsing websites, filtering reviews and comparing options. Your Advisor eliminates these hassles by handling all the research, quote requests and communication with hotel teams on your behalf. From the moment you start planning until you check out, we ensure every detail is perfectly arranged.
In addition, our Advisors stay informed about seasonal pricing fluctuations and can suggest adjusting your travel dates if you have flexibility. We can lock in exceptional rates early or alert you to last-minute special offers that maximize value. If you hold memberships in programs like American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts, we can book on your behalf and ensure you receive those benefits as well.
Should unexpected issues arise, such as reservation errors, room discrepancies or billing disputes, you can enlist your Advisor to work toward a resolution instead of wasting vacation time. Plus, our direct relationships with hotel management teams often translate to exceptional service for our clients, whether you need special room arrangements, priority restaurant reservations or thoughtful extras for anniversaries and celebrations.
Planning accommodations for larger groups or multigenerational families requires specialized expertise. Our Advisors excel at recommending properties that cater to diverse needs and ages, from accessible rooms for those with limited mobility to engaging kids’ clubs for families who want adult time. We help determine optimal room configurations, and we can coordinate airport transfers for staggered arrivals as well as group dining and activities that bring everyone together in a meaningful way.
We’ll pair you with an expert Travel Advisor who can help you choose and book the perfect accommodations and pass along all available perks. Click to get started!
There are occasions when it makes more sense to book on your own, and the Virtuoso Hotel Booking Tool is a quick and convenient way to self-book hotels in the Virtuoso network. You’ll get the same Best Available Rate as if you went directly to the hotel website, plus all the perks that our Advisor team can access. This is especially useful for short getaways or business travel with limited lead time.
