What these two programs are

American Express has two hotel programs, both booked through Amex Travel:

• Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) — for Platinum Card and Centurion members. A typical FHR stay includes daily breakfast for two, a $100 property credit, a room upgrade on arrival when available, early check-in and late check-out when available, and noon check-in where offered.
• The Hotel Collection (THC) — for Gold Card and other eligible Amex cardholders. Benefits are lighter and vary more by property, typically a $100 property credit and a room upgrade when available.

Perks and eligibility vary by property and by card, so confirm the exact benefits for your hotel and dates in Amex Travel before you book.

How to use this list

Use the search box to find a hotel, city, or country, or pick a region or country from the menus — the single table filters live, and the count below the menus tells you how many hotels match. Where we have reviewed a hotel ourselves, the Our review column links to our blog post and YouTube video for it.

The list below — and its limits, stated plainly

This is not Amex’s own list alone: Amex publishes no single complete public list of FHR or THC hotels. It is compiled from two dated third-party sources, plus hotels taken from Amex’s own listings on November 9, 2026:

• FHR: 1,968 hotels — 1,940 from AwardTravel’s FHR list, stated as last updated October 18, 2026, plus 28 from Amex’s own listings.
• THC: 1,485 hotels — 1,206 from Perkmon’s THC list, stated as reviewed August 20, 2026, plus 279 from Amex’s own listings. The Perkmon subset on its own is 13 short of Perkmon’s claimed 1,219, and the THC section as a whole is now 11 ahead of AwardHack’s October 2026 crawl (1,474 THC) — at parity, where it used to be 268 short. Perkmon also gives no country headings, so every THC country below that came from Perkmon is inferred from the heading, city, or hotel name.

Combined, the two sections total 3,453 hotels — now above Amex’s own 3,400+ headline, where the list used to sit 254 short of it. One hotel appears in both programs and is listed twice, once per program, intentionally.

Two more cautions. Seven THC entries in the source link to Chase’s travel site rather than Amex’s, which is suspicious: Limelight Mammoth, SLS Beverly Hills, Hotel Polaris, Limelight Boulder, 21c Museum Hotel Louisville, W Fort Lauderdale, and Hotel Saint Augustine — verify those seven in Amex Travel before treating them as THC hotels. And seven THC entries could not be assigned a country with confidence; they sit under Uncertain at the end of the list, with their best-guess locations noted in the source notes.

The total is still bounded by its sources: the Amex download behind the November 9 additions was itself assembled filter page by filter page, and runs 59 short of Amex’s Europe total (1,102 unique here vs 1,161) and 59 short of its US total (1,019 vs 1,078), so the true portfolio is likely a little larger than 3,453. Merged with this list, Europe lands at 1,160 unique properties of 1,161 and the US at 1,071 of 1,078.

Hotel membership changes through the year — hotels join and leave — so confirm a hotel is still in FHR or THC in Amex Travel before you plan around it. This page is a reference list, not a booking site, and we are not paid by Amex or any hotel on it.

A note for East Africa travellers: unlike The Edit, which has no hotels in Kenya or Tanzania, this Amex list does — including JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge and Hemingways Nairobi in Kenya, and Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti, Melia Serengeti Lodge, and Park Hyatt Zanzibar in Tanzania. They are in the Africa tables below.
