Internova Travel Group, one of the world’s largest travel services companies, is launching CURATED Hotels & Resorts, an innovative collection of 400 lifestyle properties around the world geared toward the modern traveler.
The CURATED Hotels & Resorts portfolio focuses on one of the fastest-growing segments in the hospitality industry: properties with the personality, style and vibe fit for a lifestyle traveler coupled with the quality, service and value of a trusted brand. Clients of Internova Travel Group travel advisors from ALTOUR, Global Travel Collection, Nexion Travel Group or Travel Leaders Network will receive $100 credits when staying at participating properties for two or more consecutive nights, as well as room upgrades when available. The credit, which varies by property, may be used toward dining, spa and resort activities.
“We know that travelers have different interests and priorities when choosing where to stay,” said Albert Herrera, Internova’s Executive Vice President, Partner Relations. “With CURATED Hotels & Resorts, our travel advisors now have access to a diverse collection of eclectic hotels at a great value, which enhances their ability to cater to today’s lifestyle-focused travelers.”
In developing the CURATED program, Internova is collaborating with both independent properties as well as its preferred partners, including Hyatt, IHG, Hilton, Marriott, Accor and Design Hotels.
“Internova’s CURATED Hotels & Resorts program is a strategic way to reach a segment of travelers who seek a hotel that reflects their personal style,” said Pascal Visintainer, Senior Vice President of Global Sales Luxury and Lifestyle for Accor. “Accor has an exciting collection of lifestyle hotels, and the expert guidance provided by an Internova travel advisor can help travelers pick the hotel that is perfect for them.” Accor’s Ennismore encompasses diverse properties such as 21c Museum Hotels, Delano, Mama Shelter, Mondrian and others.
“We’re honored to be a part of this program,” said Loïc Frésard, founder of France-based Sur Mesure, Hotels & Homes. “It’s a wonderful way to let travelers know about our privately owned properties in France including our recent opening in Paris, and we’re looking forward to working with our travel advisor partners at Internova.”
CURATED Hotels & Resorts will complement Internova’s SELECT Hotels & Resorts and Worldwide Hotel Program. Together, the three programs provide a robust, carefully vetted collection of distinctive properties across all price points, travel styles and traveler requirements. These hotels and resorts offer exclusive amenities to consumers who book their stay through their Internova Travel Group travel advisor.
Internova’s flagship program, SELECT Hotels & Resorts, includes more than 1,600 of the world’s most distinguished premium properties, ideal for travelers who seek the most storied four- and five-star accommodations, where they’ll receive white-glove service. The competitive, value-added program offers exclusive amenities for consumers who book through their Internova Travel Group advisor, which typically includes complimentary breakfast for two, room-category upgrades and $100 credits.
The Worldwide Hotel Program is a comprehensive, price-competitive program that provides Internova Travel Group advisors with the best available rates at more than 46,000 global hotel brands and independent properties. It allows travel advisors to offer their clients flexibility with pre-payment, access to Last Room Availability and other amenities such as complimentary breakfast, parking or Wi-Fi. All of the participating three- to five-star properties can be booked via GDS. This program is ideal for business or leisure travelers who need only a brief stay.
With more than 100,000 travel advisors in more than 6,000 company-owned and affiliated locations worldwide, Internova Travel Group is North America’s most powerful travel selling force. Internova travel advisors deliver high-touch, personal expertise to create unique experiences for luxury, leisure and corporate clients.
