Homewood Suites by Hilton Introduces Endless Summer Weekend Rates
|
|
Beverly Hills, CA, August 07, 2009 -- Homewood Suites by Hilton, the international brand of all-suite, residential-style hotels, announces Endless Summer Weekend Rates - a brand-wide rate promotion designed to encourage summer family travel. Guests receive 10% off the standard weekend rate when booking three consecutive weekend nights at Homewood Suites; Thursday-Saturday or Friday-Sunday at http://www.HomewoodSuites.com/ EndlessSummerWeekends for stays through September 7 at any of Homewood Suites’ 265+ hotels. Additionally, upon booking, the guest will be automatically entered for a chance to win a seven-night family vacation at select Hilton Family hotels in the continental US or Canada. “In this tough economy, families are staying closer to home and spending more time exploring what’s in their immediate region,” said Carla Raynor, vice president, marketing at Homewood Suites. “This summer-long promotion will give families an extra incentive to take a long weekend getaway and enjoy the family friendly comforts of our Homewood Suites hotels.” Summer is the most popular time of the year for families to get away. Lower gas prices and the desire to stick closer to home are resulting in a resurgence of the classic family road trip and exploration of regional attractions. This is echoed in a recent poll conducted by Harris Interactive in which 40% of respondents said they will reduce the amount of money they spend on leisure trips. Among these consumers, many stated they will find less expensive accommodations (62%), less expensive meal options (61%) and would be vacationing closer to home (48%)*. “The suites at Homewood Suites are really perfect for a family looking to maintain a sense of routine while traveling,” said Lisa Tucker McElroy, Family Travel Expert. “My daughters can watch a movie in the bedroom, while my husband catches up on baseball scores in the living room, and I prepare sandwiches in the kitchen. We’re also able to save money by taking advantage of the complimentary hot breakfast and Internet access, and of course we all love ending the day with a splash in the pool!” All-suite hotels like Homewood Suites offer families the space they need to spread out, including fully-equipped kitchens, separate living and sleeping areas, recreational options, and complimentary hot breakfast each morning ' all for about the same price they would pay for a traditional hotel room. Launched in 1989, the Homewood Suites by Hilton brand today has more than 265 hotels open with approximately 130 in the development pipeline. Beyond its spacious suites and home-like amenities, additional guest features include an on-site Suite Shop convenience store, complimentary grocery shopping services**, a complete business center, and laundry services at most locations. The innovative brand is a guest favorite among both business and leisure travelers, consistently taking the top spot on key satisfaction studies.
