How these benefits work

The room upgrade at Excelsior Hotel Ernst is confirmed on arrival, depending on what is unsold that day rather than held in advance. Daily full breakfast is served in the restaurant for up to two guests per bedroom. A 100 USD food and beverage credit is settled on the room account, valid only at taku, Hanse Stube, the Piano Bar and the Wintergarden/Hotel Lobby, excluding room service and non-combinable with other offers. Stays of four nights or more add a second 100 USD credit for 200 USD total, and stays of seven nights or more add a further 200 USD on top. These are Virtuoso's reference amenities for 2026; which of them actually apply, along with the rate and cancellation terms, follow the live rate for your chosen dates.
