Time Magazine on Luxury Hotel Offers – Hotels Upping the Ante

Just caught this article in Time Magazine, talking about the amenities that luxury hotels are offering their clientele. This is exactly what we have been doing here at Perfect Escapes, gathering and negotiating as many of these offers as we can so you can take advantage of all that the hotels are offering.

Here is an excerpt of the posting by Laura Koss-Feder at Time Magazine:

“Not so long ago, the best one could hope for in extraordinary hotel service was an unusually fluffy imported duvet, express dry cleaning and perhaps even fulfillment of a random late-night food craving. But as discerning travelers spend more extravagantly, they have become increasingly demanding. Luxury hotels are responding with all kinds of new, over-the-top amenities–from decadent sundaes dished up in guests’ rooms to poolside tanning butlers or canine room service.”

“Luxury hotels are playing the service card to attract specific groups of travelers such as families, expectant moms and pet owners. At the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, guests can buy the new Kids in the City package for $520 a night and, among other things, enjoy a visit in their room from the Ice Cream Man, who arrives with all the fixings to make any concoction they desire.”

“The trend has been moving toward more marketing to smaller and smaller niches who can afford to indulge their wants and needs,” notes Doug Shifflet, president and CEO of D.K. Shifflet & Associates Ltd., a McLean, Va., consumer-research firm that specializes in travel.

“At the Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Ariz., expectant parents can purchase the “Bundle of Joy” Babymoon package, which includes a 24-hour Cravings Chef service, a couple’s massage and breakfast in bed. The hotel even created a new position in April called the director of fun–one of the few in the entire lodging industry. With a background in the cruise business, Joshua Riffe has a mission to oversee the creation of leisure activities and programs. Part of his job begins up to two weeks before a guest arrives, with a phone call to inquire about any special reservations or amenities and inform the individual of local events that will be taking place during his or her stay.”

“Want to live the life of a celebrity? At the Hotel Sax Chicago, guests can buy the Celebrity Rider package and receive the same VIP treatment their favorite entertainers get in their contract riders when they travel for a performance. J. Lo’s white-flower obsession? Madonna’s need for workout equipment in her room? The hotel will research whatever the requested celebrity is entitled to and provide those extras to travelers, says Mark van Hartesvelt, president of Gemstone Resorts International, based in Park City, Utah, which owns the property. The cost per stay could be in the thousands, depending on the celebrity-rider request–and who you want to be that day.”
