Book the right way Free breakfast as a chain-wide amenity is convenient, but sometimes your travel plans include a more moderate or high-end hotel that doesn’t normally include breakfast in the room rate. Then what? This is when you need to book through the right sites.

Many sites and agencies book travel on behalf of their clients in ways that include breakfast. The consortium could be run by a group of travel agents, like the popular Virtuoso, or as a benefit for customers of banks such as American Express or Chase. They add value to a client’s hotel bookings and sweeten the deal with bonuses like free daily breakfast, early check-in and/or late checkout, a spa credit or another perk. When you book through these sites or groups, complimentary daily breakfast is often part of the package.

Use a secret password Finally, here’s a fun way to possibly get free breakfast or another unexpected amenity when checking into a Kimpton hotel. This upscale brand under the IHG umbrella occasionally posts a “secret password” to its social media channels.

Before your next Kimpton stay, check the brand’s Twitter, Instagram and Facebook feeds to see if this promotion is running. If so, make a note of the covert phrase and mention it to the agent at check-in. You’ll get a random surprise perk. There’s no promise that it will be breakfast vouchers, though some guests have reported that to be the case. Other amenities have included complimentary parking, an in-room movie, a bottle of wine, dessert or even a room upgrade. “ ~ The Points Guy
