Fairmont Hotels and Resorts will offer you free breakfast for two at participating hotels, if you book your stay before 30 April 2016 and actually stay by 31 May 2016. If there's one thing I love about elite status, it is the complimentary breakfast that it entitles me to. Gone are the days when hotels offered complimentary breakfast to all guests. Today, even some loyalty programs (IHG, are you listening?) don't offer complimentary breakfast even for their elites. In times like these, I think offers like this current one by Fairmont, for free breakfast , works really well, particularly when you don't have elite status that might otherwise entitle you to complimentary breakfast. Just remember, that the T&Cs (here) for this offer require specific types of room bookings (rate type,, not room type) order to be eligible for this free breakfast offer. There are also specific participating hotels , which you can find out on the landing page, as also what kind of breakfast yo...

Although this news is now a tad bit late, we figured it would still make for a good read. In the first week of December, Accor cemented a deal to acquire three luxury brands namely, Raffles, Fairmont & Swissotel, all of which come under what’s known as the FRHI Hotels and Resorts. This merger should see some legendary hotels being added to the Accor stable. Fairmont is known for some of its historic hotels in North America, as well as several landmark and iconic properties across the world. Hotels such as Raffles Singapore, The Savoy in London, Shanghai’s Fairmont Peace Hotel & The Plaza Hotel in New York just to name a few, would all now come under the larger banner of the Accor hotel group.  Fairmont Jaipur This move interestingly comes close on the heels of the other big news from 2015, Marriott’s acquisition of Starwood Hotels .  Coming back to Accor, this acquisition should now add strength to its luxury segment which would otherwise had only the Sofitel Legend br...

The vacation season is upon us, and there's tons of promotions out there for hotel stays. As I wrote earlier this week , Jet Airways has built a large bunch of non-airline partners over the years, where spends earn you JP miles. However, with the vacations just around the corner, I thought it might be useful to summarise the list of hotel partnerships that you might be interested in, which will also earn you JP miles (but not necessarily points in the the hotel's loyalty program). RocketMiles Rocket Miles is a hotel rates aggregating and booking engine that also allows you to earn miles in your choice of airline program. I've written about Rocket before , but have never booked with them. Jet Airways is one of their newest partners, and you can earn bonus JP miles for booking your room using Rocket Miles and selecting JP as your earnings partner. If you aren't yet registered with Rocket, you could use my referral link and earn a further 1,000 miles in the program of yo...
