Oetker Collection is regarded as one of the world’s best hotel groups. Oetker Collection only has around a dozen properties, so it’s truly a boutique group. It has some of the world’s most highly regarded luxury properties, from Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, to Eden Rock St Barths, to Le Bristol Paris.

While stays at Oetker Collection properties aren’t cheap, you can maximize your value by booking through Oetker Collection Pearl Partner. In this post I wanted to go over all of the details of that program.

What is Oetker Collection Pearl Partner?

Oetker Collection Pearl Partner is a special program available to select travel advisors, offering special perks for stays at all Oetker Collection properties worldwide. You’ll pay the same rate you would directly with Oetker Collection, except you’ll be able to receive additional value-add benefits.

Why would Oetker Collection offer extra perks for booking through a travel agent? The idea is that hotel brands spend a lot of money on marketing, and one aspect of that is giving travel agents an incentive to book their clients at a particular brand. This is truly a win-win, as the guest gets more benefits, and the hotel gets more business.

You’ll find that most major luxury hotel groups have programs like this, including Accor STEPBelmond Bellini ClubFour Seasons Preferred Partner, Hilton ImpresarioHyatt Privé, Mandarin Oriental Fan ClubMarriott STARS & LuminousRosewood Elite, and Shangri-La Luxury Circle.
