Reservations using points can be made through our My Senator website, through our Reservation Center or through the Loyalty Department.
For a one-night stay, 6000 points are required for accommodation in a standard double room, two adults and on a bed and breakfast basis. If you are accompanied by children/teenagers, you will have to pay the respective supplement, if applicable, upon arrival at the Hotel.
Redeeming points for services/articles:
Articles required as redemption of points will depend on the availability and stock of the hotel in question. The order for each item/service must be placed at least 7 days prior to the date of arrival. This order will be made through the web, which will provide a voucher with the product redeemed.
- If the member who has made a reservation/order using points does not arrive for their stay or wishes to cancel the order of a service/article, they must communicate this cancellation at least 6 days before the date of arrival. Otherwise, the points used will not be refunded.
- Senator Hotels & Resorts reserves the right to review and modify the list of points available for stays, services and free articles at participating hotels at any time.
Expiry of points and account cancellation:
- The points accumulated in the Program will expire five (5) years from the date of issuance if not redeemed by the member within that period, except as provided in point 32 regarding account validity. Such points will be automatically cancelled upon expiry without prior notice from Senator Hotels & Resorts.
- Accounts that remain inactive for a period of more than four years (from the registration in the program) will be automatically deleted and all points accumulated up to that date will become invalid. An account is considered inactive if the account member has not stayed at a hotel participating in the program during this period.

Expiry time:
The validity period of each level is 1 year from its effective date. The end of the year in which the level was acquired is taken into account.

- Definition by accumulated nights.
My Senator program establishes four levels of loyalty from its beginning based on the nights enjoyed by the member in hotels operated by Senator Hotels & Resorts (except franchisees):
- PLUS: from 0 to 10 accumulated nights.
- PRIME: from 11 to 19 accumulated nights.
- PRIVILEGE: from 20 accumulated nights.

- The new level will be reflected in the member’s account within a maximum of 72 hours after check-out.
- Level downgrade.
- Level PLUS is kept indefinitely as long as the member remain registered.
- Levels PRIME and PRIVILEGE are depending on the period for collecting nights defined in the article number 37.
- If the member does not accumulate the minimum nights required by the level the member has, the level will be downgraded to the one the total number of nights collected establishes.
- The level PRESTIGE INFINITY is permanent and cannot be lost unless:
- Cancellation of the account because of voluntary leaving the Program or breach of the Program’s terms and condition.
- Inactivity of the account for a period of 4 years. In this case the status will be cancelled and every associated benefit will remain ineffective.
- Validity of accumulated nights.
- The nights that have been accumulated will be valid during the ongoing year plus the following calendar year.
- After that time, the nights count will be set to zero, except for the members with level PRESTIGE INFINITY, with the exception provided for in point 36 regarding the 4-year inactivity period.
- If during a whole calendar year, the member does not get any valid stay, all the night count will set to zero on the 1st January of the following year, with the exception of the members with level PRESTIGE INFINITY, in accordance with the provisions of point 36.
