Belmond is the second best-reviewed brand of the thirteen we have measured, behind only Capella's four-hotel sample. Across 1,500 recent reviews at its 15 hotels with enough of them, guests averaged 9.53 out of 10 and fewer than one in twenty scored a stay under 7. Two of the three best-reviewed hotels we scored anywhere are Belmonds: Monasterio in Cusco (9.91) and Mount Nelson in Cape Town (9.90). These guides add what each hotel costs month by month on our rate checks, which ones close for the season, and how the Italian hotels compare.

What Biirdee Does
A concierge travel agency: paid by the hotel, never by you
Biirdee Travel books luxury hotels through preferred-partner programs: you pay the same rate as booking direct, the partner benefits attach to your reservation, and a human concierge handles the details end to end.
Tell us the trip
Destination or property, rough dates, who’s traveling. The form takes two minutes and commits you to nothing.
A concierge replies within hours
A real person checks availability, compares properties honestly, and confirms the perks your stay qualifies for: upgrades, breakfast, and credits where available.
Book at the same rate as direct
The hotel pays our commission out of the rate you’d pay anyway, so the perks cost you nothing. Before and during the trip, one concierge on WhatsApp handles requests and changes.
Flying too? The same team books business and first class: flights and hotels aligned as one itinerary, one point of contact.
