It was just a couple of weeks ago that I was explaining how J5Travel's continued elevation to several luxury brand hotels travel advisor preferred partner status is serving our clients so well. I mentioned Hyatt Prive, Marriott's STARS and LUMINOUS programs, Belmond and Accor. Along with our now well established Virtuoso membership status, these have all been added due to our host agency (Gifted Travel Network) working so diligently to increase our value to our clients. Well this week I can announce perhaps the best of the lot, especially if you are a fan of the Four Seasons brand. As of February 1st we are now recognized as a Four Seasons Preferred Partner.

In keeping with this brand's exclusivity, I am not even allowed to explain the monetary value of what this partnership means for our clients, but if you have ever stayed at a Four Seasons then you will likely be able to add this up in your head! All the below will be complimentary at any Four Seasons property if booked through J5Travel, and you pay the exact same rate you'd see if booking direct:

• Daily full breakfast for two people per bedroom, served in a hotel restaurant or through In-Room Dining
• Varying Hotel/Resort Credit (based on room category booked) enriching your stay with the choice of experience – from spa and dining to recreation
• Upgrade of one category, based on availability at time of check-in
• Complimentary standard Internet in all guest rooms and premium Internet in all suites

What else could I do this week, but try to tempt you with 5 amazing Four Seasons properties on 5 different continents?
