How these benefits work

The arrival upgrade here depends on what the hotel has unsold that day, not on any advance hold. Daily breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom is served in the restaurant and via in-room dining, already included in the property rate. The stay includes a private tasting of local wines in the Birkenhead House cellar and 15 percent off all spa massages, or alternatively a $100 donation per booking to The Royal Portfolio Foundation's philanthropic, conservation and sustainability projects. Early check-in and late check-out can be requested ahead and are confirmed on the day, subject to availability. These are Virtuoso's 2026 reference amenities; what applies, and the rate and cancellation terms, follow the live rate for your chosen dates.

Pick your dates and the button carries them into the live rate page; leave them empty and it still works.

Is the rate at Birkenhead House higher when you book through FlyBest?

No. The live rate comes from the hotel's own inventory; we add no mark-up and charge no service fee. A rate carrying the Virtuoso amenities is normally the same price as the public rate for the same room, though different rate codes can differ in price, breakfast and cancellation terms, so the live rate page is what to go by before you book.

Is the room upgrade at Birkenhead House guaranteed?

No. The directory line reads “Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability”: the hotel arranges it from whatever is unsold that day, so it cannot be locked in beforehand and a particular room type cannot be promised. If the upgrade matters for this trip, say so when you book and we will put the request to the hotel.

How is breakfast handled at Birkenhead House?

The directory line reads “Daily breakfast for up to two guests per bedroom, served in the restaurant and via in-room dining (already included in property rates)”. Breakfast is already part of the room rate here.
