Mandarin Oriental Fan Club
Experience the world’s most legendary hotels with unparalleled recognition. Secure the highest level of recognition in the Mandarin Oriental ecosystem, higher priority than Amex FHR, and direct bookings.
Elevated by
Exclusivity.
The Mandarin Oriental Fan Club is an invitation-only program reserved for the world’s top travel agencies. Unlike generic luxury booking platforms, this program provides a direct link between the travel advisor and the hotel’s management, ensuring you are treated as a top-tier guest from the moment your reservation is made.
What truly sets Fan Club apart is the Priority of Recognition. In the hierarchy of luxury travel, Fan Club bookings are prioritized for room upgrades and early check-ins above nearly every other channel, including American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts and Virtuoso.
Exclusive “Bellini” Perks
- The “Top Shelf” Upgrade: Fan Club guests are prioritized for one-category room upgrades at check-in, often bypassing the limitations of other programs.
- Guaranteed $100 Credit: At Fan Club “Elite” properties, a $100 food, beverage, or spa credit is included automatically with your stay.
- Streaming VIP Status: Your preferences are communicated directly to the General Manager’s office, often resulting in a personalized welcome note and gift.
These bookings can be made directly through Classic Travel. Let us act as “VIP pass on top of your VIP pass”!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between “Fans of MO” and “Fan Club”?
Fans of MO is Mandarin Oriental’s guest recognition program. Fan Club is the invitation-only program for travel agencies. They are complementary—you still get your MO points and recognition, but Fan Club adds the breakfast and $100 credits which the standard loyalty program often does not.
Do I pay for this booking upfront?
No. These are “direct” bookings with the hotel. You pay the property directly at checkout. This ensures the rate is flexible and that you retain full control over your reservation!
Can I book this online myself?
Yes. Create an account at Classic Travel to see these rates and book them with your VIP status automatically attached.
Is there a minimum stay required?
Most Fan Club bookings require only a 1-night stay to enjoy the full suite of benefits. Occasionally, specific properties may require 2 nights for special promotional offers, but the standard perks apply to single-night stays.
Are the rates more expensive?
The Fan Club rate is the “Best Available Rate” (Flexible Rate) found on MandarinOriental.com. While it may be slightly higher than a “Non-Refundable” or “Prepaid” rate, the value of the included breakfast and $100 credit almost always exceeds that difference.
When is the upgrade confirmed?
Upgrades are officially determined at the time of check-in based on the hotel’s availability. However, Fan Club guests have “First Priority” for these rooms, meaning you’re at the very front of the queue.
