Homewood Suites Announces Spring Suite Sale With 15% Savings On Select Weekend Rates

McLean, VA, March 2, 2010 - Homewood Suites by Hilton, an international brand of all-suite, residential-style hotels, today announced details of its Spring Suite Sale. With a seven-day advance purchase and a two-night minimum stay, Homewood Suites guests will receive 15 percent off our Best Available Rate for any Thursday-Sunday booking between March 1 and May 21, 2010.

"Whether traveling to visit relatives or a quick weekend trip, these special rates make it even more affordable for a spring getaway," said Carla Raynor, Vice President of Marketing for Homewood Suites.

In addition to the discounts offered through the Spring Suite Sale promotion, travelers looking for lodging deals while trip planning could save money on spring travel simply by staying at a Homewood Suites and taking advantage of the brand's value-oriented amenities like complimentary hot full breakfast and high-speed internet access. The brand offers guests the space they need to spread out on family vacations, including fully-equipped kitchens, separate living and sleeping areas, recreational options like sports courts, outdoor grills and pools - all for about the same price they would pay for a traditional hotel room.

While other hospitality brands have cut back on hotel amenities, Homewood Suites has enhanced its offering. The brand completed its Distinctly Homewood initiative, a five-year multi-phased product-improvement program designed to bring a greater sense of consistency across the system. This included the installation of granite countertops in kitchens and bathrooms, laminate wood flooring in suite foyers and kitchens, an upgraded bedding and linen package and enhanced in-room entertainment options.

Another Homewood Suites enhancement included the revamping of its complimentary daily hot breakfast and evening meal with drinks programs. The brand spent two years crafting and testing new menu items which were developed into 30-day rotational menus for hotels. Some of the items include savory and healthy breakfast entrees such as the farmhouse frittata, lemony oregano hash browns, Canadian bacon and turkey sausages. Filling dinner items include slow-cooked BBQ beef brisket, rotisserie chicken, farm-raised tilapia, and an assortment of entree salads. Additionally, most Homewood Suites properties serve beer and wine with the evening meal*. These complimentary meal programs provide substantial value to both business and leisure travelers looking to save money while on the road.
