Revealed: Best-Kept Secrets for Travel Perks & VIP TreatmentNew ‘Little Pink Book’ Offers Travelers Entrée to Hundreds of Special PrivilegesEdited By C. Jason Stewart
Now, for the first time, consumers can take advantage of a just-released “little pink book” from Ensemble Travel that offers hundreds of free amenities and sought-after services at some of the most fashionable hotels and resorts in the world. The 2005 Ensemble Hotel and Resort Collection, a compendium of four- and five-star properties from around the world, features an array of free perks ranging from spa and resort credits to round-trip airport transfers and full daily breakfasts. Although diverse in nature, these highly coveted benefits all have one thing in common: they provide the traveler with significant savings – in some cases, as much as $200 on a spa credit and $40 per person per day on full breakfast service. A few of the highlights of the 2005 Ensemble Hotel and Resort Collection include: Customized encounters, such as two free 3-hour ski outings or snow-show tours at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek in Avon, CO; Dining discounts, such as free daily continental breakfast at Raffles l’Ermitage in Beverly Hills and full breakfast daily at The Dorchester in London; and, Resort or spa credits, such as a $200 spa credit at the famed Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic. Other free services at each property include a room upgrade upon check-in, early check-in, and late check-out options, when available. For more information on how to order a free copy of the directory, or to preview the hotels and exclusive offers in the directory, visit Ensemble Travel online at www.ensembletravel.com or call 866.334.7460. It will benefit the traveler not to procrastinate on this one as quantities of the directory are limited, and the hotel and resort amenity offers expire at the end of the year. Once in hand, travelers can call the toll-free number on the cover of the book to be automatically connected to an Ensemble Travel member specialist who will make the hotel reservation, and take care of any additional travel needs that the consumer may have at that time. |

nominal savings on your stay as part of the property’s frequent guest program,
and proceed to your room. But before you do, you notice that the person next to
you at the front desk is not only getting a better rate, he’s getting upgraded
to the concierge level – plus free breakfast every day. What’s the secret?
More than likely, this savvy traveler used a resourceful travel agent who knows
how to get these first-class perks that aren’t usually available through
conventional means.
