Starwood lures meeting planners with more rewards

STARWOOD Hotels & Resorts Asia Pacific has rolled out a More Rewards meeting offer with more than 200 participating hotels across Asia-Pacific.

Under this promotion, participating properties will offer five per cent off the Master Account, a signing bonus of 1,000 Starpoints for every 10 roomnights booked and a choice of two value-adds from a selection that includes complimentary high-speed Internet in guestrooms, complimentary welcome reception with selected beverage and canapés for an hour, and two Starpoints for every US$3 spent.

Meeting planners who book at least 150 roomnights will also bag a two-night stay at the new Sheraton Macao Hotel, Cotai Central.

Besides offering additional rewards for holding events at Starwood properties in the region, the hotel group now allows members of the Starwood Preferred Planner (SPP) programme to combine group roomnights consumed in 2013 with those earned through the Starwood Preferred Guest programme. This move will speed up status upgrades for SPP members.
