Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT, ask for rooms on your dates, then review the rate and complete checkout on a secure Rialto page.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

Do I earn Marriott Bonvoy points and keep my elite benefits? Is this considered a direct booking or a third-party booking?

Yes. The booking is a direct reservation with the hotel, so it earns Marriott Bonvoy points and elite-night credit, and Marriott Bonvoy elite status benefits apply.

The Potomac Hotel, Autograph Collection lists Deluxe Room, Deluxe Water View Room, Premier Water View Room, Deluxe Connecting Room, Deluxe One Bedroom Suite, Deluxe Balcony One Bedroom Suite and 10 more. Sizes and bed options for each are in the rooms table above.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.
