Warwick International Hotels has launched its new 2007 worldwide directory, featuring more than 40 4-star and 5-star hotels, resorts & spas located in over 14 countries around the world.

In this new edition, you will discover luxurious and grand hotels in enticing locations across the globe, ideal for both leisure and business travellers. Boutique hotels, contemporary designs and unique destinations, plus spa and golf resorts offering superior service and refined elegance, are beautifully presented throughout the 108 page directory.

This directory, with an attractive glossy cover, creates a true invitation to travel. The brochure opens to a map of the world situated on the first double page, which gives a global view of the collection of hotels and resorts. Information on each hotel is beautifully illustrated with five photos reflecting the essence, ambience, and atmosphere for each at a glance. It also gives essential information: location, rooms, bars and restaurants, meeting rooms and other facilities and services. Travel agents will find a grid at the back of the brochure where all GDS codes and contact details of all reservations offices around the world are outlined, as well as meeting room capacities and the different Warwick packages and promotional offers available.

This year, discover the new hotels that have joined the Collection. They include the Warwick Melrose Hotel in Dallas, the Warwick Ibah Luxury Villas & Spa in Bali and new affiliate hotels, such as the New Hotel Of Marseille, Les Roches in Lavandou, the Central Plaza in Zurich, the Saturnia & International in Venice and the Kedar Country Hotel, Conference Centre & Spa in South Africa.

This latest edition also features our new sales and marketing partnership. The ‘International Hospitality Alliance’ (IHA) combining the talents and resources of Warwick International Hotels, Mirvac Hotel & Resorts (35 Hotels & Resorts in Australia and New Zealand) and Gloria International Hotels (16 Hotels & Resorts in China). The IHA is comprised of more than 80 luxurious hotels reflecting the culture and the hospitality of each destination.

‘We are proud to present our new directory, which reflects the dynamic and luxurious image of our Collection of Hotels’ said Thibault Ruffat, Sales & Marketing Director Europe for Warwick International Hotels. ‘This dynamism can also be found in the group’s development, and in the results of our Global Distribution System, which in 2006 generated nearly US$30 million in room revenue, reflecting year on year growth of 46.6%’. The web site, www.warwickhotels.com, has generated more than US8 million in room revenue and more than 37,000 room nights.

Warwick is also offering an electronic version of the directory called ‘E-directory’. It can be downloaded from the web site at www.warwickhotels.com
