Holiday Deficit Disorder (HDD) Is Killing Global Creativity

NEW YORK, May 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Morgans Hotel Group Co. (NASDAQ: MHGC) ("MHG") today has launched a global campaign to eradicate a newly diagnosed condition currently referred to as Holiday Deficit Disorder or HDD. 

HDD is a global epidemic induced by a lack of sufficient vacation time and no destination is too far-flung to escape the terrible symptoms. Professionals and creative types in major urban locales have reported severe creator's fatigue and drastic increases in cases of HDD due to frequent meetings that should have been emails, too much social media not enough socializing, and dining "al-desko" instead of "al fresco."  If you are experiencing symptoms such as typing L-O-L without L-O-L-ING, volunteering for jury duty just to meet new people, freaking out because your charger isn't long enough to text from bed, or remaining on the verge of quitting your job to become a blogger – please contact your MHG reservationist immediately or visit BOOKYOURCURE.COM.

The campaign pays homage to the crucial moments in our lives that require an escape from the mundane daily grind and reiterates Morgans' commitment to supporting the creative community and building a platform that inspires creative thinking and collaboration. Luckily there is a cure for HDD and MHG treats the underlying causes of your symptoms.  Working alongside experts in the field of creative wellness, the group has developed the first and only treatment for chronic HDD.

"As the official Hotel for Creators, Morgans felt a responsibility to lead the fight in eradicating HDD before it is too late," said Alan Philips, Chief Marketing Officer of Morgans Hotel Group.  "By creating experiences at our properties that inspire creative thought, encourage social engagement, and eliminate the stresses of modern life, we will make sure that we win this battle.  Later this summer, Morgans will be offering more intensive treatment options that include weekend long escapes –allowing guests to cure their symptoms in just 48-72 hours." 

As a public safety measure to avoid an epidemic of gargantuan proportions, MHG is offering up to 40% off on introductory treatments (aka stays at their fabulous properties) throughout the summer in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, London, and Istanbul.  Within minutes of check-in at a Morgans Hotel Group property, most people report feelings of happiness, relaxation, and inspired creative thinking.  Side effects of staying at an MHG property include: increased coworker jealousy, high-five-induced shoulder soreness, and a nicer-than-usual attitude to those all around you.
