FAQs

Which New York hotels are LHW members?

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.

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.

  1. Tell us the trip

    Destination or property, rough dates, who’s traveling. The form takes two minutes and commits you to nothing.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
