When you know where you wish to stay, this is where you need to book.

Booking hotels via The Cerulean Hotel Desk typically entitles you to special amenities, including room upgrades, daily breakfast, welcome treats, and hotel credits (usually ~ $100) at our properties. Additionally, each reservation receives Cerulean’s personal attention as we ensure our VIP contacts at the hotel are dialed into your travel needs and preferences.

Reservations via the Cerulean Hotel Desk receive more personalized assistance and upgrade priority over most other booking channels, including Amex Platinum or other card programs.

It’s simple! You can search for availability, check room rates, and confirm reservations online using Cerulean’s custom Virtuoso booking portal.

To view rates and availability, select your preferred hotel from the search results. Next you’ll see available room categories, rates and your complimentary Cerulean Virtuoso amenities to be included with your booking.

When you’re ready to confirm your booking, select the red “Book” button next to your selected room category. If it’s your first time booking, you’ll be asked to create an account, and once done, you’ll finish the reservation process.
