Whether it be in the heart of semi-wild Provence, near the water, or nestled in the trees, the boutique hotels of the Mr and Mrs Smith agency promise one thing: a stay where intimacy, simplicity and uniqueness intermingle.
The network isn’t the most extensive (to date, it includes just under 2,000 hotels), but it is nonetheless, sublime. Carefully selected, each establishment on the platform reveals itself as an intimate setting, where luxury comes at a reasonable price.
The agency, which Hyatt acquired in 2023, is committed to offering only the best rates. A collection of exceptional hotels.
The story of Mr and Mrs Smith began in 2003 when, after a disastrous vacation, James and Tamara Lohan decided to set up their travel agency. Twenty years later, the Hyatt hotel group acquired the agency and transformed into a select (but free to join) club with over a million members.
The secret to this success? An array of carefully selected boutique hotels, particularly attractive rates and a host of additional privileges. Such as complimentary cocktails, in-house spa treatments, wine tastings, and sunset cruises.
Travelers are sure to have a stay they’ll never forget, whether it be for the hotels’ iconic decor – where every detail has been thought of in advance – the gourmet restaurants they house, or the little extras offered.
Because every stay includes a Smith Extra. This could be a hotel credit, a complimentary cocktail, or even an in-house spa treatment.
The Mr and Mrs Smith portfolio features only the finest hotels, where luxury is acquired without sacrificing festivity.
What big names are choosing to vacation in these luxurious boutique hotels? Dita Von Teese, Stella McCartney and renowned dancer Eric Underwood. Lending even more credibility to the experience.
From France to the Caribbean, Australia, to the Middle East, hotels in the Mr and Mrs Smith portfolio can be found in every corner of the globe. Our favourites include :
Of the 1975 hotels in the Mr and Mrs Smith collection, 972 are in Europe, and 122 are in France. From Paris to Cannes, Languedoc to Luberon, Mr and Mrs Smith locations are easy to find.
In Canada, there are nine hotels, including Hôtel Saint-Paul in Montreal, The Drake in Toronto and Fogo Island Inn, a hotel nestled in Newfoundland and Labrador that gives the impression of leaving civilization behind to stand in wonderment at the expanse of the great wide open.
The hotels in the Mr and Mrs Smith portfolio are not among the cheapest; after all, they’re generally 4 to 5 star establishments. But the agency promises us one thing: the best rate.
Thanks to its Best Price Guarantee, the agency is committed to offering a credit of 50 euros (or dollars) to be used on a future stay, to anyone who finds a cheaper rate elsewhere. Of course, the room, arrival and departure dates, and cancellation conditions must be the same.
“We’re thrilled about this proposed acquisition and to be able to offer World of Hyatt guests and members more luxury offerings in hundreds of regions, including more than 20 countries where there are currently no Hyatt hotels, such as Fiji, Croatia, Iceland and Anguilla,” exclaims Mark Vondrasek, Hyatt’s chief commercial officer, when the hotel giant acquires Mr and Mrs Smith in 2023.
For the time being, however, travelers cannot directly access reservations at Mr and Mrs Smith properties through Hyatt’s distribution channels, and the properties in question are not yet members of World of Hyatt. But it’s probably only a matter of time.
Until March 31, 2024, members of the World of Hyatt loyalty program can purchase a Mr and Mrs Smith gift card through Hyatt, and earn five Base Points for every dollar spent.
In addition, for every $300 US spent on gift cards, World of Hyatt members receive one qualifying night’s credit towards status.
The Mr and Mrs Smith agency, with its impressive collection of boutique hotels, is reminiscent of Virtuoso, the Design Hotels collection owned by Marriott, and Small Luxury Hotels (SLH), with whom Hyatt has also signed an exclusive collaboration.
The group’s sumptuous establishments, with their promise of intimacy and luxury, are among the world’s most attractive hotels. We are seduced.
In all, the travel agency counts 1975 hotels and 230 villas.
No two hotel rooms in the Mr and Mrs Smith portfolio are alike. As every hotel is different, so is every room.
However, it’s not uncommon for some details to be repeated. For example, a claw-foot bathtub, bay window with a view, and a bed reminiscent of something you might find in Versailles. Mr and Mrs Smith’s motto? Romance and liveliness.
Yes, there are 37 Parisian hotels in the Mr and Mrs Smith portfolio.
Most of the hotels represented by Mr and Mrs Smith are also available on Booking.com. Nevertheless, travelers booking a stay through Booking.com receive neither the Smith Extra nor the lowest rate guarantee.
