North America's 45 members skew boutique and beloved: New York fields seven (The Lowell, The Greenwich, the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Nine Orchard, the Chelsea, the Knickerbocker), Washington the Hay-Adams, Hawaii the immortal Halekulani and the Kahala, California a string of hideaways from San Ysidro Ranch to Parker Palm Springs — while Mexico's eight members, led by the Chablé resorts, include some of the hemisphere's best wellness properties.
Every hotel below carries Leaders Club benefits — breakfast for two, upgrade requests, points toward free nights — and Biirdee stacks partner perks on top where we hold direct relationships. "Check live rates" links open each property on our booking site.
Seven as of 2026: The Lowell, The Greenwich Hotel, The Fifth Avenue Hotel, Nine Orchard, The Hotel Chelsea, The Knickerbocker, and (in Boston's orbit) The Newbury — a boutique counterpoint to the chain palaces.
What's the flagship member in Hawaii?
Halekulani on Waikiki — "House Befitting Heaven" — for nearly a century the standard-setter, joined by the Kahala and the ESPACIO Jewel of Waikiki.
Are Mexico's members worth crossing the border for?
Chablé Yucatán was named the hemisphere's best hotel in the World's 50 Best — its cenote spa alone justifies the flight — with Chablé Maroma, Paradero Todos Santos, and Casa Polanco extending the case.
