At Corinthia, we always strive to provide the best rates on our website. If you find a better publicly-available rate anywhere else online, we will match it, and discount the rate by a further 10%. Should you find a lower price elsewhere, please submit a claim within 24 hours of your original booking and we will respond within two working days. Please note, this also applies to discounts and promotions available on Corinthia.com.
Process for making a claim:
Step 1. If within 24 hours of a confirmed reservation with Corinthia Hotels made on Corinthia.com, you find a lower rate for the same hotel, room type, inclusions, stay dates, discounts and payment conditions, please contact the relevant email address from the list below to make your claim. All claims must be made within 24 hours of the original booking and at least 24 hours prior to the standard check-in time of the hotel.
Step 2. Your claim should be supported by the URL where the lower rate was found and a screen shot which clearly displays the date of stay, room type, same hotel, inclusions and payment conditions of the lower rate offering on the competing website. Please include your contact information (name, email and phone number).
Step 3. If we are able to verify that the lower rate found qualifies for the Best Rate Guarantee, and all other terms and conditions are met, Corinthia Hotels will match it and discount the rate by a further 10% for the rest of your stay.
Corinthia Hotels guarantees the best online rate on corinthia.com based on the following terms and conditions:
Your original booking must have been made through corinthia.com.
The lower rate must be found and the claim submitted by email within 24 hours of the original booking and at least 24 hours prior to the standard check-in time at the hotel. If the original booking was made within 24 hours of arrival, the Best Rate Guarantee is not applicable.
The Best Rate Guarantee only applies to published rates available to the general public online, which can be found and booked immediately without any kind of restriction or payment restrictions.
The lower rate found must be for exactly the same booking criteria - the same hotel, the same room type, same inclusions, the same stay dates, same number of guests, the same rate description and, if applicable, the same promotion. The cancellation and advance purchase policy and all other terms and conditions of the stay must also be identical. If the claim refers to a reservation consisting of several nights' accommodation, the average rate for each night will be compared to the average rate for each night, for an identical reservation, using the website where the lower rate is found.
Corinthia Hotels will verify the lower rate claim and respond within two working days of the claim being made. *Claims will be processed from Monday to Friday, between 9am to 5pm, at the hotel's local time.
The rate comparison will be made net of any taxes, gratuities or any other fees or charges associated with the room rate, and the lower rate must still be available at the time the hotel validates the claim.
The Best Rate Guarantee is void where prohibited by law. Corinthia Hotels reserves the right to modify or cancel its Best Rate Guarantee policy at any time in its sole discretion and without prior notice.
Corinthia Hotels has the sole right and discretion to determine the validity of any claim, including without limitation, determining that the lower rate found is genuinely available and that the claim meets all terms and conditions. In case of dispute, Corinthia Hotels' decision is final.
In the case of a fully prepaid rate booked through corinthia.com, Corinthia Hotels will refund the difference to your credit card, if applicable, within 30 business days of submitting your claim. Corinthia Hotels is not responsible for any fees associated with cancelling a reservation made through a different channel.
Best Rate Guarantee will be suspended during times where corinthia.com or certain rates are not available due to an outage, a technical issue or a circumstance beyond Corinthia Hotels' reasonable control.
The Best Rate Guarantee does not apply to rates found offline, negotiated corporate rates, group or MICE rates, opaque provider rates or rates requiring membership in a club or other organization, governmental rates, direct mail or email solicitations, rates offered by providers that do not supply the name or location of the hotel until after a reservation has been made or other rates that are not available to the general public. We reserve the right to deny a claim if the availability of the Competing Rate cannot be independently verified at the time of processing the claim.
The Best Rate Guarantee does not apply to packaged rates. Packaged rates include Hotel accommodations sold as part of a travel package in which the Hotel does not provide all services (including but not limited to airfare and/or car rental, tours etc.) and Hotel accommodations sold with additional amenities.
Corinthia Hotels may deny a claim where the difference between the rates is less than 1%.
If the Competing Rate is in a different currency from the rate booked on corinthia.com, the Competing Rate will be converted into the same currency as the rate offered on our website using the exchange rate as published in www.xe.com in place at the time the initial reservation was made. Discrepancies may occur between Corinthia Hotels' rate and the Competing Rate due to differences in exchange rate sources. If the rate discrepancy is solely due to exchange rate fluctuations, we reserve the right to deny the claim.
When it comes to feeling great, nothing compares to a good night’s sleep. 25% of the population have a form of sleep disorder making them excessively tired during the daytime. Try our top tips for the best night’s sleep.
Not everyone agrees on how much sleep we need. Napoleon, Florence Nightingale and Margaret Thatcher got by on four hours a night and Thomas Edison claimed sleep was a waste of time. There is no set amount of time we need to sleep; requirement varies from person to person but most of us need about 8 hours to keep us happy and healthy. The variation in requirement is greater still in the animal kingdom. Did you know a python needs a whopping 18 hours a day while a giraffe can get by on only 2 hours? We spend a third of our lives asleep and our cognitive function, physical health and mental wellbeing depend on us getting enough rest, so it’s a subject worth taking seriously. At the hotel it’s a bit of a science, so if you’re having trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, follow these five suggestions.
Relax your mind: Simple breathing exercises can help. Breathe (using your abdomen not your chest) through your nose for three seconds, then breathe out for three seconds. Pause for three seconds before breathing in again. Practise this for ten minutes at night (five minutes is better than nothing). Some people find that lavender helps them get to sleep. Look out for the lavender bags we leave on guest pillows.
And your body: A massage is a great way to unwind and prepare for sleep. Spa treatment appointments are available until 9pm and gentle exercise can help you relax at the end of the day. The spa is open until late for hotel guests.
Switch off your screen: Give yourself time before you sleep. Switch off screens and entertainment, read a book, have a bath and relax.
Avoid caffeine: Caffeine is a stimulant which can stay in your system for many hours. So, avoid caffeine in the afternoon and evening and switch to a herbal tea instead. Call in-room dining for a camomile tea which is sure to make you sleepy – apparently it also relieves stress and boosts immunity.
And if you’re tired take a short nap: Most of us have a natural dip in alertness between 2 - 4pm, and travelling can be especially tiring. A 15-minute nap when you're tired can be a very effective way of staying alert throughout the day. But avoid napping for longer than 20 minutes, longer than this and you’ll enter deep sleep and feel worse than you did before
