Two weeks ago Hilton Hotels announced yet another
new hotel brand under their umbrella – Signia Hilton. The new chain of
hotels will be targeted towards meetings and events “With a minimum of
500 guest rooms and 75 square feet per key of flexible meetings and
events space” at each location. Touted as a global brand, Signia will
launch with several locations in the U.S.. No word on if any are planned
for Canada but with a minimum 500 guests rooms if they did launch here
it would most likely only be in Toronto or Vancouver. Find out more here
Meanwhile Best Western Hotels purchased WorldHotels in February. This is a very interesting purchase as BW is not known for
high end or luxurious hotels and now they will be adding over 300 of
them to their portfolio!
WorldHotels will maintain its distinctive personality and
individuality while benefiting from Best Western’s robust and scalable
E-Commerce platform, strong partnerships, award-winning loyalty
program, effective sales and marketing support, global distribution
network, and powerful revenue engines.
The good news with this is the
WorldHotels brand will be part of the Best Western Rewards program which
is very popular with many Canadians and will present some (potentially) great redemption options, WorldHotels no longer has
any affiliated hotels in our country but lots of great locations around
the globe. They themselves tried to run their own loyalty
program called PeakPoints a few years back and that program essentially
failed leaving only their frequent flyer partnerships as a way to earn
loyalty rewards for stays at their locations. Find out more here
