Best Rate Dare Terms and Conditions

Distinguished® International Hotels, Residences and Resorts, LLC guarantees that Distinguishedhotels.com will have the best room rate for any of our member hotels ("Best Rate Dare "). For a claim to be valid under this Best Rate Dare, it must satisfy all of the terms and conditions herein (the “Best Rate Dare Terms and Conditions”) and be submitted in compliance with the claims processing procedures set forth below. Additionally Distinguished ® International Hotels, Residences and Resorts’ general terms and conditions shall apply.

• Claimant must have a valid, confirmed booking made via Distinguishedhotels.com in order to proceed with a claim. • Subject to compliance with all Best Rate Dare Terms and Conditions, if you find and advise Distinguished ® International Hotels, Residences and Resorts of a currently available lower, published, available room rate for the same dates and number of guests (the “Competing Rate”) within 72 hours after making a reservation on Distinguishedhotels.com, Distinguished ® International Hotels, Residences and Resorts will honor the Competing Rate.

Additional Charges

The Best Rate Dare does not apply to taxes, gratuities, or any additional resort or guest charges or fees that may apply at member hotels of Distinguished ® International Hotels, Residences and Resorts.

Available Room Types

The Best Rate Dare applies to a competing room type that is substantially similar to a room type that can be booked on Distinguishedhotels.com. Competing room types have features that include, but are not limited to, similar views, amenities, bedding, and room size as determined by Distinguished ® International Hotels, Residences and Resorts in its sole discretion ("Competing Room"). If Distinguishedhotels.com does not have a substantially similar room type to the Competing Room, Distinguished ® International Hotels, Residences and Resorts, in its sole discretion, may honor the rate for the Competing Room with applicable rate limitations, provided such claim meets all other Best Rate Dare Terms and Conditions.

Different Currencies

In the event that the Competing Rate is in a different currency from the Distinguishedhotels.com rate, our Reservations Manager will convert the Competing Rate into the same currency as the rate offered on Distinguishedhotels.com. The currency exchange rate to be applied will be based on the exchange rate that would have been used by the applicable Distinguished ® International Hotels, Residences and Resorts’ member hotel at the time of making the original reservation. After converting the Competing Rate, Distinguished ® International Hotels, Residences and Resorts reserves the right to deny a claim where the Competing Rate appears lower than the Distinguishedhotels.com rate if it deems that the difference between the rates is due to, but not limited to, different currency exchange rates used by the two rate providers.

Multiple Night Stay

In the event of a multiple night stay, the Best Rate Dare will compare the total room cost of the stay as booked at the Distinguishedhotels.com rate with the total room cost of the stay booked at a Competing Rate and only one Best Rate Dare Match will apply.

Multiple claims for a stay consisting of two or more consecutive nights at the same hotel will be treated as one claim for one stay and the Best Rate Dare will be applied to that one stay.

Opaque Providers

The Best Rate Dare does not apply to any rates from opaque providers including, but not limited to, Priceline.com or Hotwire.com. An opaque provider is any entity or service that prevents the buyer from obtaining any of the following information relating to available hotel rooms until after the buyer has guaranteed payment ("Opaque Provider"): (a) the name of the property on which the available hotel room is located, (b) the precise location of the property on which the available hotel room is located, (c) the identity, brand or flag affiliation of the hotel that will provide such available room, and (d) other specific information that may divulge the property's identity (e.g., exact property restaurant name).

Rate Limitations

The Best Rate Dare applies to a Competing Rate with rate limitations that are substantially similar to the rate limitations of the rate that can be booked on Distinguishedhotels.com (the "Distinguished® Hotels Rate"). Rate limitations include, but are not limited to, Advance Purchase requirements, prepayment and deposit requirements, and cancellation and change policies. If there is no Distinguished® Hotels Rate available that has substantially similar rate limitations to that of the Competing Rate, and the Competing Rate is lower than any available Distinguished® Hotels Rate, Distinguished ® International Hotels, Residences and Resorts, in its sole discretion, may honor the Competing Rate with the applicable Distinguished® Hotels Rate Limitations, room type, and amenities, provided it meets all other Best Rate Dare Terms and Conditions. Distinguished ® International Hotels, Residences and Resorts reserves the right to deny a claim where the Competing Rate is equal to the Distinguished® Hotels Rate, and the rate limitations are substantially the same or the Competing Rate has more restrictive rate limitations than the Distinguished® Hotels Rate.

Packaged Rates

The Best Rate Dare does not apply to packaged rates. Packaged rates include (a) Hotel accommodations sold as part of a travel package, including, but not limited to accommodations plus airfare and/or car rental and/or cruise, and (b) hotel accommodations sold with value added amenities, including, but not limited to, breakfast and hotel parking.
