where our clients are staying - september, 2026

September is taking Huckleberry Travel clients to three very different corners of the world, with stays in Hong Kong, Vienna, and Bath. What these trips have in common is that our clients aren’t simply checking into great hotels. By booking through the Huckleberry Travel Hotel Program, they’ll receive additional VIP amenities that add a little something extra to an already exceptional stay.

The Peninsula Hong Kong

There are luxury hotels, and then there are hotels that are practically synonymous with their destination. The Peninsula Hong Kong falls firmly into the latter category. Open since 1928 and known as the “Grande Dame of the Far East,” The Peninsula occupies a landmark location in Kowloon overlooking Victoria Harbour and combines old-school glamour with some decidedly modern touches.

The hotel is famous for everything from its fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms and rooftop helipads to its Roman-inspired indoor pool overlooking the harbor. Dining is an experience in its own right, with eight restaurants and bars, including Cantonese cuisine at Spring Moon, French fine dining at Gaddi’s, and one of Hong Kong’s great traditions: afternoon tea in The Lobby.

Huckleberry Travel clients who are guests of the Peninsula enjoy our VIP amenities during their stay:

• Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
• Daily Buffet breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom, served in the restaurant
• $100 USD equivalent Hotel Credit to be applicable only towards The Lobby, Gaddis, The Verandah, Chesa, Spring Moon, The Bar, Felix, Private Dining, Minibar, The Peninsula Spa, Laundry & dry cleaning services (not combinable, not valid on room rate, no cash value if not redeemed in full)
• Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability

Pro-Tip: Enjoy the classic afternoon tea in The Lobby, one of Hong Kong’s most elegant gathering places, accompanied by live music from The Lobby Strings.

Hotel Sacher Wien, Vienna Austria

Our clients visiting Vienna are staying at Hotel Sacher Wien, which has been welcoming guests since 1876. Located directly across from the Vienna State Opera and close to the Albertina Museum and Hofburg, it’s difficult to imagine a better home base for experiencing the grandeur of Vienna.

Inside, rooms and suites reflect the hotel’s Belle Époque heritage, with individually selected antiques, original oil paintings, rich fabrics, and the sort of elegant details that remind you this is no generic luxury hotel. And, of course, this is the home of the Original Sacher-Torte, which guests can sample at Café Sacher Wien. The hotel also has an impressive private art collection and the Sacher Boutique Spa, along with several restaurants, cafés, and bars.

Huckleberry Travel Hotel Program VIP amenities include:

• Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
• Daily Buffet Breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom, served in the hotel restaurant
• $100 USD equivalent Hotel credit to be utilized during stay, valid at Sacher Boutique Spa and Food & Beverage outlets (not combinable, not valid on room rate, no cash value if not redeemed in full)
• Two complimentary First Class one-way train tickets per room from/to Vienna to/from Salzburg when booking both Sacher Hotels during the same trip
• Early Check-In / Late Check-Out, subject to availability

Pro-Tip: Arrange a private guided tour of the Spanish Riding School for an inside look at one of Vienna’s most famous institutions.

The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa, Bath, England

In Bath, our clients are staying somewhere that is quite literally part of the city's architectural history. The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa occupies two central townhouses within Bath's famous Royal Crescent, the sweeping Georgian landmark dating to the 18th century. The hotel itself dates to 1775 and looks out over the Crescent’s lawn and Royal Victoria Park.

Behind that instantly recognizable façade is something you might not expect: a secluded one-acre garden leading to the hotel's restaurant and spa. Guest rooms and suites are individually designed to complement the historic buildings, combining period character with modern comforts. For guests who want even more privacy, the Garden Villa has its own entrance and garden.

Of course, as part of our VIP hotel program, our clients amenities enhance their stay:

• Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
• Complimentary Cold Buffet Breakfast with cooked to order hot dishes for two guests per bedroom daily (continental room service available with 5 GBP tray charge)
• $100 USD equivalent Food & Beverage credit to be utilized during stay (not combinable, no cash value if not redeemed in full)
• Early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability
• Complimentary Wi-Fi

Pro-Tip: Book a private guided walking tour to explore Bath’s Georgian architecture and historic streets while learning more about the history behind this remarkable city.

Three cities, three very different hotels, and three great examples of why where you stay matters. And when we can pair the right hotel with extra benefits like breakfast, hotel credits, upgrades, and flexible check-in and check-out, even better.
