Question 1

What is the Knights of Rocco Forte program?

Accepted Answer

It's Rocco Forte' invite-only program for a small group of approved luxury agencies. Booking through a Knights of Rocco Forte advisor gets you VIP perks at no extra cost. The hotel pays the advisor, not you. Most travelers don't realize this exists, which is exactly why direct bookers leave hundreds of dollars in value on the table every stay.

Question 2

What perks do I actually get, and are they the same at every property?

Accepted Answer

Perks vary by property but often include things like complimentary daily breakfast for two, a property credit (commonly $100 USD or equivalent), priority for a room upgrade at check-in, early check-in and late checkout when available, and a welcome amenity. Some properties offer more, some less. Tell us where you're going and we'll send the exact breakdown for that property before you book.

Question 3

Is the rate the same as booking direct?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We match the hotel's direct rate. You pay the same (sometimes less if there's a promotion stacked in), but you walk in with perks direct bookers don't get. Occasionally we also have access to exclusive discounts you won't see published anywhere. There's genuinely no downside to letting us book it.

Question 4

Knights of Rocco Forte vs Amex FHR vs Chase The Edit vs booking direct - what's the actual difference?

Accepted Answer

We quote all four for every stay. Rates are usually in the same ballpark, but the real differences are perks, eligibility, and service. Knights of Rocco Forte (through us) gives you the full perk stack at every property in the program, no card required, and a real human handling your booking. Amex FHR requires an active Amex Platinum cardholder ($695/yr) and perks aren't offered at every property. Chase The Edit requires Sapphire Reserve ($795/yr) and also has a partial property list. Booking direct gives you nothing beyond the brand's loyalty points. We'll tell you which is the best fit - even if that means we don't get the booking.

Question 5

You mention rate monitoring - what does that actually mean?

Accepted Answer

After we book your stay, we keep watching the rate. If it drops by $100 or more before your arrival, we rebook you at the lower price. Most advisors and OTAs never do this - the booking happens, the rate moves, and the savings disappear. We've refunded thousands of dollars to clients this way on stays they'd already paid for.

Question 6

What does personal advocacy mean before and during my stay?

Accepted Answer

Before you arrive, we contact the property directly to flag your preferences, push for upgrades, and sort out anything specific (connecting rooms, cribs, dietary needs, suite layouts, special occasions). During your stay, if anything comes up - a room issue, a last-minute reservation, a question about transport - you text us and we deal with the hotel for you. You don't sit on hold with a call center.

Question 7

Can I earn credit card points?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Credit cards like Amex Green and Chase Sapphire Reserve offer point multipliers on hotel direct bookings, and Rocco Forte bookings through us qualify. Ask us about credit cards and we'll happily recommend the best one to use.

Question 8

Will I still earn my Rocco Forte profile preferences and recognition?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your Rocco Forte profile, preferences, and any prior history with the brand all carry through. We attach your profile number to the reservation. The property sees you as a returning Rocco Forte guest, not a brand-new advisor booking.

Question 9

Can I combine Knights of Rocco Forte perks with Rocco Forte promotional rates?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. Many promotional rates (third night free, suite upgrade offers, seasonal packages) are eligible for Knights of Rocco Forte perks layered on top. Some heavily discounted rates are not. We check both and tell you which combination puts more value in your pocket.

Question 10

What does Room Service do that other Knights of Rocco Forte advisors don't?

Accepted Answer

A few things. We monitor your rate after you book and rebook you whenever it drops by $100 or more, which most advisors never check. We reach out to the property before you arrive to flag preferences, push for upgrades, and sort out room configurations like connecting rooms, cribs, or suite layouts. We're available by text before, during, and after your stay, so if something comes up at the property, you ping us and we handle it directly with the on-site team. And new clients booking $3,000+ get an additional Room Service-only perk on their first booking, layered on top of the standard Knights of Rocco Forte amenities.

Question 11

What kinds of Rocco Forte bookings does this work for?

Accepted Answer

Any Rocco Forte hotels and resorts worldwide, for almost any length of stay. Leisure trips, family travel, multi-generational stays, milestone trips, business travel.

Question 12

Do you only book Rocco Forte?

Accepted Answer

No. Rocco Forte is one of our strongest relationships, but we have preferred partner access at most four and five star hotel brands worldwide, including Four Seasons, Rosewood, Aman, Belmond, Mandarin Oriental, Ritz-Carlton, Park Hyatt, Auberge, and many independent luxury properties. Same idea: same rate as direct, plus perks like breakfast, property credit, upgrades, and early check-in or late checkout when available. Tell us where you're thinking and we'll tell you what's available.

Question 13

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Tell us where you're thinking about going and rough dates. We'll come back with the full perk breakdown for that property, rates, and a recommendation. If we earn your trust, we'd love to handle the booking too.
