Loews Hotels Entices Travelers to Blend Business and Leisure with a Fall Harvest of Benefits Package



Realizing that the current economic climate is making it more difficult for consumers to travel and to dine out, Loews Hotels (http://www.loewshotels.com/en/default.aspx) is announcing a fall "Harvest of Benefits" package which encourages business travelers to turn any fall trip into a vacation. The "Harvest of Benefits" package features an increasing food and beverage credit based on length of stay: $50 credit for a two-night stay; $75 for three nights and $100 for four or more nights. The food and beverage credit can be used at any onsite restaurant or for room service.

The "Harvest of Benefits" package, which is available October 2 through December 30, 2008, is based on Loews Best Rate available at 17 Loews Hotels in the U.S. and Canada, with prices starting at $119 - $239 a night, and up, depending on location.

To enhance this offering, Loews is introducing new, seasonal fall menus at each hotel. Highlighting local ingredients and flavors, the menus will be available through December 31, 2008 and feature items such as Pumpkin Ravioli at the Loews Portofino Hotel, Westchester Beet Salad from the Loews Regency, Chesapeake Stew from the Loews Annapolis Hotel, Everglades Seared Striped Bass from the Loews Miami Beach and Popcorn Sundaes from the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel.

"Tacking on a mini-vacation to a business trip is a great way for people to get some rest and relaxation without much incremental expense," said Nancy Mendelson, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Loews Hotels. "With the current economy, we know that it's a real benefit to our guests to get a little relief on their dining bill. We created these menus to provide warm and welcoming, uniquely local dining options for our guests."
