The Best Way to Book Auberge Collection

The best way to book Auberge Collection properties is through a Preferred Partner travel advisor like WhataHotel!, backed by Lorraine Travel. This invitation-only partnership ensures you receive premium benefits including priority for one-category room upgrade upon arrival, $100 USD property credit per stay, daily complimentary breakfast for two, priority consideration for early check-in and late checkout, VIP recognition with personalized service from management, and enhanced advocacy throughout your stay.

Unlike booking directly, Preferred Partner reservations receive priority treatment at Auberge's portfolio of one-of-a-kind luxury properties where each destination celebrates authentic sense of place through distinctive design and farm-to-table cuisine. Whether planning wine country escapes at Auberge du Soleil, beachfront luxury at Chileno Bay, mountain sanctuary at Hotel Jerome, or European sophistication at Grace Hotel Santorini, booking through WhataHotel! ensures extraordinary value and VIP treatment throughout your stay.

When you book Auberge Collection properties through WhataHotel!, you automatically receive comprehensive Preferred Partner benefits at no additional cost. These include:

Priority for one-category room upgrade upon arrival, ensuring enhanced accommodations with superior views, additional space, or elevated design features. A generous $100 USD property credit per stay for farm-to-table dining, spa treatments incorporating locally sourced botanicals, Auberge Adventures activities unique to each destination, or other exceptional amenities. Daily complimentary breakfast for two featuring fresh local ingredients and culinary artistry that reflects regional character. Priority consideration for early check-in and late checkout, giving you maximum flexibility. VIP recognition ensuring the property anticipates your arrival with personalized service from management and staff. Professional travel consultant support from WhataHotel! luxury advisors who can communicate special requests, arrange curated experiences, and ensure every detail exceeds expectations.

WhataHotel! offers both convenient online booking with instant Preferred Partner rates and full-service assistance from experienced consultants who handle every detail with white-glove care.

Auberge Collection represents a revolutionary approach to luxury hospitality where authentic sense of place takes precedence over standardization. Founded in 1981 with Auberge du Soleil in Napa Valley, this portfolio of 30 properties refuses to follow the industry's predictable playbook.

As CEO Christian Clerc explains: "The industry today, everybody's using the same designers, the same restaurant chefs. We're the opposite. Every experience we create, we reinvent the wheel every time." This anti-chain philosophy creates properties that serve as authentic microcosms of the best each destination has to offer.

Each property features distinctive design with unique architects, culinary experiences emphasizing "food of place" with farm-to-table menus (from Michelin-starred dining at Auberge du Soleil to coastal cuisine at beachfront properties), spa treatments incorporating locally sourced botanicals, Auberge Adventures from stargazing at Primland's observatory to wine experiences in Napa Valley, and intimate scale with four to five staff members per guest ensuring personalized service.

When you book through WhataHotel!, you access this collection with guaranteed Preferred Partner VIP treatment. Your priority upgrade ensures the finest available accommodations, your $100 property credit enhances your ability to explore signature experiences, and your travel advisor communicates preferences directly to properties, connecting you with authentic local culture.

Booking through WhataHotel! as a Preferred Partner advisor provides distinct advantages over booking directly through Auberge.com or property websites.

Most importantly, your Preferred Partner reservation includes priority for one-category room upgrade upon arrival, whereas direct bookings receive standard room assignments without priority. At properties like Auberge du Soleil where categories range from Maison rooms to hillside suites with vineyard views, or Grace Hotel Santorini with options from suites to infinity villas with private pools, priority upgrade consideration provides extraordinary value.

You receive a guaranteed $100 USD property credit per stay for award-winning dining, spa treatments incorporating indigenous healing traditions, or signature Auberge Adventures—benefits not available when booking directly. You gain priority consideration for early check-in and late checkout beyond standard policies. Daily complimentary breakfast provides significant savings especially at Auberge properties where culinary excellence is fundamental with farm-to-table ingredients.

You receive VIP recognition with personalized service from management. You have access to WhataHotel! professional travel consultants who can match you with the perfect property and communicate special requests directly to hotels. The rates match the best flexible rates for just a nominal $10.95 booking fee, meaning you receive substantial benefits without rate premium.

WhataHotel! charges a nominal booking fee of $10.95 per reservation for their professional services as an Auberge Collection Preferred Partner. You receive the same best available flexible rates plus valuable benefits including priority room upgrades, $100 property credits, daily breakfast, early check-in and late checkout consideration, and VIP service.

Whether you book online with instant confirmation or work with luxury travel consultants for personalized planning, the small fee is offset many times over by exclusive perks throughout your stay.

Daily breakfast alone can be valued at $40 to $80 USD per person per day, potentially saving hundreds over multi-night stays. Your priority room upgrade could provide hundreds in additional value with enhanced views, additional space, or elevated accommodations. Your $100 property credit provides substantial value for award-winning dining, spa treatments, and curated activities. VIP recognition ensures personalized service from management and staff, enhancing your experience of crafted luxury where every detail reflects artistry and authenticity.

WhataHotel! makes it effortless to access Preferred Partner benefits through two convenient booking options.

For online booking, visit WhataHotel.com and search for your desired Auberge property and dates. Preferred Partner rates and benefits are automatically applied with instant confirmation including priority upgrade consideration, $100 property credit, daily breakfast, and VIP recognition. The entire process takes just minutes.

For personalized assistance, contact WhataHotel! professional travel consultants who specialize in luxury accommodations. Simply request Auberge Collection Preferred Partner rates and share your preferences. Your consultant will research the perfect property—whether wine country immersion at Napa Valley properties, mountain sanctuary at Colorado and Utah resorts, Hawaiian luxury at Mauna Lani, coastal havens in Los Cabos or South Carolina, countryside retreats in Connecticut or Virginia, or European sophistication in Santorini, Florence, or Geneva. They'll secure optimal rates, communicate special requests, connect your desired Auberge Adventures, and provide ongoing support.

Both methods guarantee the same exclusive Preferred Partner amenities while enjoying the personalized expertise that WhataHotel!, backed by Lorraine Travel since 1948, is renowned for delivering.

Auberge Collection properties have no minimum stay requirement to receive Preferred Partner benefits when booking through WhataHotel!. Even a single one-night stay qualifies for the full complement of benefits including priority room upgrade consideration, $100 property credit, daily breakfast, priority check-in and checkout, and VIP recognition.

This flexibility accommodates diverse travel styles whether planning extended wine country retreats at Napa Valley properties, weekend getaways to mountain sanctuaries like Hotel Jerome in Aspen or The Lodge at Blue Sky, brief coastal escapes to Chileno Bay in Los Cabos or The Dunlin in South Carolina, overnight business stops, countryside respites at Mayflower Inn in Connecticut or Wildflower Farms in New York, or European explorations combining destinations like Grace Hotel Santorini, Collegio alla Querce Florence, and The Woodward Geneva.

Whether spending one night at Auberge du Soleil for Michelin-starred Napa dining, a single evening at Primland Resort to stargaze from the Blue Ridge Mountain observatory, or any duration at the 30 properties across Auberge's portfolio, you receive comprehensive Preferred Partner benefits enhancing your experience of distinctive crafted luxury where every property celebrates authentic sense of place.
