Cool Hotel Deals for Hot Winter Destinations

HotStays.com™ Unveils the Hottest Five Hotels for Winter 2004

Daytona Beach, FL (PRWEB) October 15, 2004 -- HotStays.com™ has joined forces with World Choice Travel (WCT) - a division of Travelocity® (a Sabre Holdings™ company NYSE: TSG) to showcase over 55,000 hotels on their world wide travel portal. Rick Schneider, Vice President of Global Business Development for World Choice Travel insists, 'We work with thousands of websites and are very impressed with the quality of HotStays.com™. It is certainly on a par with any of the major world wide booking sites like Expedia or Orbitz. World Choice is delighted to play an instrumental role in HotStays.com's growth. With our superior global inventory, we are able to contribute to HotStays.com's one stop shopping experience.'

Adapting to market requirements, HotStays.com™ is now offering a last minute deal booking engine. This function allows travelers to obtain discounted rates on both air and hotel combinations within 3 hours of departure. This function appeals to both the business traveler and spontaneous leisure getaways.

Aswin Suri, CEO of International Web Media, LLC, explains why he chose WCT over other hotel inventories, 'We explored many different avenues, but kept coming back to WCT. We felt that the extensive variety of both luxury and budget hotels would undoubtedly satisfy the diversity of our customer base. In addition, WCT have provided us with unparalleled customer service and flexibility when compared to other hotel inventories we investigated. We were most impressed by their proven track record in part due to Travelocity's backing.'

Dr. Suzanne Cook, Senior Vice President for research for the Travel Industry Association of America, advises that winter travel is back. "Increased economic activity and a rise in consumer confidence are paving the way to a strong winter travel season." It is predicted that Americans will take 213.4 million trips this winter season, representing an increase of 2.3 percent over last winter.

Schneider of WCT echoes this belief. 'Hotels have always had a niche. With the clout of a major player like Travelocity behind HotStays.com™, they are able to offer the largest selection of hotels and resorts with credibility. Our research indicates that Americans are still traveling, albeit the trips are more last minute and perhaps shorter in duration. Hotels remain the perfect vehicle for spontaneous travel.'

Suri, of International Web Media, LLC, has identified a number of hotels in the top winter destinations that represent both deeply discounted savings and quality. In Vail, HotStays.com™ offers hot rates for the award winning, The Lodge at Vail. 'Nestled at the base of Vail Mountain in the heart of Vail Village, skiers are spoiled by both location and exceptional service. The Marriott's Royal Palms Villa Hotel in Orlando offers serenity despite being a mere 2 minutes from Disney World Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center and MGM Studios. For those who want to enjoy a city break, The Chambers, New York City is the first downtown hotel with an uptown address. This funky loft space offers superior attention to detail in lush surroundings. For those venturing further afield, the BSA Champs Elysees, Paris, France offers a pet friendly, fashionably located space giving easy access to the cultural diversity of City of Lights. Jump on the 'chunnel' and stay at the luxurious townhouse located in the fashionable St James' area of London. 22 Jermyn Street, London offers the perfect solution to both business and leisure travelers. The staff here promises your trip will be as memorable as it is convenient. These European getaways are stylishly appointed with modern conveniences including washer/dryer, DVD player, CD player.'

For detractors of internet shopping, HotStays.com™ has alleviated many of the common fears associated with booking hotel rooms online. Most hotels offer both interior and exterior images of the hotel and bedrooms, to ensure users are able to view what they are booking. Location of the hotels are clearly illustrated by giving a helpful distance scale to show where the property is located in relation to airports, restaurants and major tourist attractions. A quality rating scale is used on the majority of properties to better understand the quality of hotel offered. Instant availability and confirmation of booking is available, without having to give personal information or a credit card number. All rates are clearly displayed, are currency specific and indicate whether the rate is per person or per room. Clearly demarcated cancellation policies are declared.

Will Belden, Vice President of International Web Media, LLC, states, 'Booking hotels online has never been easier or safer due to our intense security measures. Our card holder data is protected with a state-of-the-art secure socket layer (SSL) technology (128 bit SSL) and easy navigation. Now is the time to reconnect with friends and family for the winter season.'
