Flyer for a luxury hotel
This is from a flyer for a luxury hotel in London. If you book a room or a suite in a certain category, you can enjoy a few "signature amenities" like a "Complimentary daily breakfast for two" or a voucher for a 100 USD for use in the hotel restaurant.
Does anybody have a suggestion for these "Signature Amenities"? TIA!

avantages exclusifs
L'expression est souvent (trop souvent!) utilisée dans de nombreux domaines. un avantage peut être matériel (petit-déjeuner) ou immatériel (surclassement ou late check-out). "Exclusif" est tellement utilisé qu'il en est galvaudé mais c'est souvent le cas en marketing...

offert/offrir
To my opinion, there is no way to translate precisely this term in French, because it covers too large a range of possibilities - services, meals, cosmetics, and much more.
The easiest way to convey it is by adding the adjective "offert" after the name of the mentioned gift.
Or to use the verb "offrir".
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 14 mins (2025-04-25 16:17:32 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
Or "en cadeau", but it sounds cheaper and might not be adapted to the context of a luxurious hotel.
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 27 mins (2025-04-25 16:30:34 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
And the "signature" idea would have to be conveyed another way, for example by adding an adjective such as "exclusif" somewhere in your sentence, depending on the latter's topic.

: The real problem is that it looks very much that Asker has 'forgotten' to mention some key context details, like 'Signature' HERE being in fact a brand name, not a plain common noun.

JULY 6, 2022 TIPS BY LUXURY LINK
Everything You Need to Know About Signature Amenities (Perks)
Breakfast dish at a restaurant.
One of the best reasons for booking your hotel on Luxury Link is our access to negotiated rates and special amenities through our elite membership in the Signature Travel Network.
What is the ***Signature Travel Network***?
The Signature Travel Network is a member-owned community of the top luxury travel agencies and suppliers in the industry. Because of our combined sales power and the caliber of the people who book with us (you), the Network is able to negotiate special rates and exclusive amenities which we pass on to you. In addition, we have a dedicated contact person at each Signature hotel. That means quick answers to your questions and direct access to special requests.
What are Signature Amenities?
The negotiated amenities vary by hotel, but typically include things like:
Complimentary breakfast daily for two or more guests
Hotel credits for services like food and beverages or spa treatments
Welcome amenities, such as chocolates or wine in your room
Room upgrades based on availability
Early check-in and late check-out based on availability
Complimentary Wifi
How do the credits work?
Often time Signature Amenities will include $50 or $100 credits to use at the property. While every offer varies and it’s important to check the details, you can often use them at the hotel restaurants, lounges, spa, and even parking! Be sure to ask exactly where you can use your credit and how it will be applied to your folio when you check in.
Nearly always, you will need to charge the expense to your room – not a credit card. That way the amount of the credit can be subtracted from your folio when it’s time to check out. If you don’t use the full amount of the credit, only the amount you used will be subtracted. Some hotels will offer a voucher instead, so again, be sure to get all the specifics when you check in.
https://www.luxurylink.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-...
So .... it the ST is about the 'Signature Travel Network', then the 'Signature' as part of the name of a 'travel network/group of agencies and suppliers' would not be quite the same as the 'signature' of any one specific boutique / luxury hotel.
IOW 'Signature Amenities' would then be 'good deals negotiated on you behalf by the Signature Travel Network', not quite the same as some features being 'the signature' of a specific business.
Some more context?

Then there is also a different case of the general concept of 'signature amenities', the ones that create 'the signature' of a hotel:
The allure of the exclusive: Signature amenities as a hotel's hallmark
The mark of exclusivity: Crafting the quintessential ambiance
In the highly competitive landscape of the hospitality industry, boutique hotels are captivating guests with their distinct character and personalized services. One distinguishing feature is their signature amenities, which serve as a beacon of their elite status. According to a recent survey by Boutique Hotel Experts, over 72% of affluent travellers cite unique amenities as a top factor in their selection of boutique accommodations. These signature offerings are not mere perks but embodiments of the hotel's essence, often handpicked to accentuate its narrative and locale.

I'm fairly certain that 'a voucher for a 100 USD for use in the hotel restaurant' would hardly qualify as 'not mere perks but embodiments of the hotel's essence', but still a confirmation / more context from Asker would be nice ...

You could argue that ANY hotel could offer 'Complimentary daily breakfast for two', so it's hard to claim that 'we are the only one doing this – it’s only our gimmick', but that doesn't change the meaning of a 'signature' of a business.
Ah well, this https://www.luxurylink.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-... explains how s.t. that looks like a bog standard offer could be connected to a 'signature' ...
