Read the Reviews
A good way to be informed about a hotel’s quality is to read the reviews online. However, it can be easy to trust your travel agent’s judgment and forgo doing your own research. Your agent may have a deal to book a certain hotel, or he or she just might have missed something that could impact your trip, so doing your own research is a good idea.
You may also want to consult with friends and family in regards to luxury hotels that they have enjoyed in the city where you are traveling. Personal recommendations can often be the best reviews to follow.
Be Prepared for Small Inconveniences
Even hotels with impeccable track records have setbacks once in a while. It’s perfectly alright to bring up a mistake with the staff if you need to, but do so politely. You may find that when you’re respectful and reasonable, staff will go out of their way to make you happy and may even compensate you, if possible.
Have an Backup Option
It’s a smart idea to discuss backup options with your travel agent or compile a list of your second and third choices when booking your own accommodations. Whether someone makes a mistake or you are not satisfied by the accommodations, having a backup can save you a great deal of trouble.
Add Your Reviews
After your trip, take a few minutes to review your hotel. The staff always appreciates the good business that positive reviews bring. If you had any negative experiences, bring them up in an honest and fair manner, and don’t blame the staff for things that were out of their control. Your reviews can help future luxury travelers make their own accommodation decisions.
