"As a luxury brand we have to be very careful that our hotel is positioned within the right media environment to attract the best caliber of guest. We particularly like that Travelzoo is only about travel and leisure and has an older, wealthier and more traveled subscriber base. As such, they were able to help us achieve both the quality and quantity goals we had set," said Vikram Sood, managing director, La Valencia Hotel, La Jolla, Calif.
"The combination of our luxurious property and outstanding offer, along with Travelzoo's high-quality audience, really packed a punch for us last month – we booked over 900 room nights in seven days," said Lori A. Kiel, vice president of sales and revenue management for Bohemian Hotel Celebration, a Kessler Collection Hotel.
"After completing a multi-million dollar renovation on both our guestrooms and spa, we were eager to share our news with a travel savvy audience. The Travelzoo Getaway provided us with a great opportunity to do just that, all while successfully driving profitable mid-week hotel and spa business to our property," said Stefan Muhle general manager of Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa.
Travelzoo's President of North America, Shirley Tafoya, said: "We are thrilled to recommend so many of America's finest properties. Our 24 million subscribers have responded by booking thousands of incremental room nights; these are trips that would most likely not had happened otherwise. During these difficult economic times, it's rewarding for all of us at Travelzoo to play a critical role in helping hotels attract vast numbers of guests and to alert our subscribers to high-quality travel experiences."
