Sofitel STEP Program and Virtuoso Benefits

 

Note: Sofitel STEP Program benefits updated for 2017

The Sofitel STEP Program (Sofitel's preferred partner program) and Virtuoso are great ways to be upgraded when staying at any Sofitel, in the case of Sofitel STEP, or at one of the 10 Sofitels that are Virtuoso members. TravelSort Clients can book with either Sofitel STEP benefits or Virtuoso benefits, and both programs can also be combined with Accor's loyalty program so that you can earn elite credit from your stays.

Here are the details of each of the programs:

Which Sofitel Rates are Eligible for Virtuoso Benefits?
 
Virtuoso rates are virtually always the same as the hotel's best available rate, and the same is true for Sofitel: look for the “Best Flexible Rate” and this is the rate that is eligible for Virtuoso amenities.
Which Sofitel Rates are Eligible for Sofitel STEP Program Benefits?
ALL Sofitel rates are eligible for STEP Program benefits BUT note that certain properties, such as the Sofitel Chicago Water Tower, will make the upgrade based on availability at time of check-in (not guaranteed at time of booking) if you select an advance purchase or a rate lower than the “Best Flexibile Rate,” such as the “Smart Rate.”
Are All Sofitel Hotels Eligible for Sofitel STEP?
Yes–this is a big advantage of the Sofitel STEP Program, given that only 8% of Sofitels are Virtuoso members. Simply become a TravelSort Client or book with a Sofitel STEP Program travel advisor to receive Sofitel STEP Program benefits.
Can Virtuoso and Sofitel STEP Program Both Be Applied to a Reservation?
Yes, they can.
