Globus Hotels Set the Standard for First-class Touring
Something amazing happens when you’re comfortable in the heart of your destination. Your senses have the luxury to stray from detail and worry, finding in their place anticipation and wonder. You’ll find this comfort in our hotels—where quality stands the test of time, service embraces hospitality, and location is paramount. With your hotels in harmony with your itinerary, you’ll never waste precious vacation time getting to the sights you want to see the most on your Globus vacation.
At the end of a busy day of sightseeing, you want to relax in comfortable, clean, attractive accommodations. At our first-class, conveniently located hotels, you'll always feel welcome and well looked after.
Delivering the best experiences
We know that excellent accommodations are of paramount importance to your enjoyment on vacation. Our hotels—many of them through long association with us—have mastered the art of handling group check-ins and baggage speedily, and balancing the need for efficiency with the desire of each traveler to receive individual attention.
You won't be surprised with any hidden charges when you check out of your Globus hotel. All hotel taxes and tips for restaurant service and baggage handling are included in the price of your tour.
Hotel locations maximize your sightseeing time
We take extra care to select downtown locations for our independent tours and for longer stays on escorted tours, when your itinerary features days at leisure to explore on your own.
When your itinerary allows time only for a good night's sleep between two busy sightseeing days, our expert contractors sometimes sensibly opt for quiet residential areas.
And you'll be delighted with our choice of hotels in scenic countryside locations. Wake up to the sound of cow bells, take a morning walk in crisp mountain air, enjoy glorious panoramic views of the majestic Alps or the Norwegian fjord country.
Superior accommodation
Globus uses chains such as Crowne Plaza, Forte, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Hyatt, Inter-Continental, Jolly, Queens Moat Houses, Marriott, Mövenpick, Radisson SAS, Renaissance, Scandic, Sheraton, Sofitel, Thistle and Westin.
The specific hotels we have selected for you are listed separately for each tour. The vast majority of our hotels are rated deluxe (D), superior first-class (SF), or first-class (F). In overnight places where there is no hotel in these categories or where our demand exceeds the supply, we choose the best available superior tourist-class (ST) or tourist class (TC) hotels.
Most hotels have amenities such as satellite TV, mini-bar, a cocktail lounge, a restaurant, room service and concierge services. Many also have a swimming pool, health club, shops, and dry cleaning and laundry services.
Globus hotel ratings follow standards set by the independent Hotel & Travel Index and by national tourist boards. The specific rating for each contract hotel is determined by our quality controllers.
We reserve the right to substitute hotels listed on the itinerary pages with hotels of equivalent standard. With your Globus travel documents you’ll receive a list of hotel addresses, telephone numbers, and fax numbers for your vacation.
Why Globus is better
Even though our main competitors use hotels with comparable quality, none of them has mastered the art of creating vacations that will enthrall you and enrich you, with lots of side trips, adventurous optionals, and many other memorable experiences.
Dining in style
On our vacations, most meals are included. Start each day with a full American breakfast; at some hotels, it will be a buffet with all the trimmings. When you dine at your hotel, you’ll enjoy delicious 3-course dinners with choice of entrees. The meals are carefully planned to avoid the repetition of entrees. Whenever possible, we include dinner at a local restaurant so that you can sample the specialties of the area.
Unlike an airline, we cannot process requests for special meals. While some hotels and restaurants may be able to provide for a special diet, such as vegetarian or salt-free food, there is no way for us to guarantee this. Special food may cost extra.
Extra nights before and after your vacation
If you require extra nights at the first and/or last vacation hotel, we will make reservations for you at the rates quoted, provided you request them at the time you book your vacation. Rates are per person, per night, and include room with private bath, breakfast, service charges, and taxes.
Extra nights are only available immediately prior to or after your vacation. Every effort will be made to reserve extra nights at the hotel where your vacation stays. If space at the hotel is not available, alternative accommodations will be reserved at a hotel of equivalent standard. When this is the case, the transfer from and to the vacation hotel is at our expense.
As hotel space is limited, we cannot reserve more than two extra nights before and/or after your vacation, unless they are needed to bridge the gap between two Globus vacations. During particularly busy periods, hotel space in certain cities can become so tight that we may be unable to sell extra nights.
