Virtuoso Hotels: Confirmed Upgrade at Booking 2025

Virtuoso Hotels: Confirmed Upgrade at Booking 2024

Which Virtuoso Hotels Confirm an Upgrade at Booking in 2025? One of the top requests we receive from TravelSort clients is for a confirmed upgrade at booking. Most hotels only provide an upgrade at check-in, if one is available, but there are some hotels that will confirm a one category upgrade at the time of booking, if the next category is available at the time the reservation is made. There are also a few hotel preferred partner programs (Peninsula PenClub, Hyatt Prive, Shangri-La Luxury Circle, and Oetker Pearl Partner) that provide a confirmed upgrade at time of booking, which we note below.
