Ritz-Carlton’s New Message: Let Us Stay With You

You might call it an ad campaign, but The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company is calling “Let Us Stay With You” a whole new brand platform. Will it change your stay at one of their properties? Probably not, but you might have a better understanding of why guests continually pay more to stay at Ritz-Carlton Hotels all over the world.

Let Us Stay With You is the brand’s attempt to convey luxury and a hotel stay that is about creating unique memories. It will include updated advertisements as well as specially themed packages at some locations.  For example,  ‘Rejuvenate You’ packages will be available at Ritz spas. RitzCarlton.com will also undergo a redesign.

Watch this video from the Ritz-Carlton YouTube channel for a better idea of what’s to come from the brand:

Watch New Loews Hotel Go Up In Atlanta

Ever wonder how those high rise luxury hotels in your favorite big cities are built?  Check out the time lapse video recording construction on the new Loews Atlanta Hotel.

The new Loews Atlanta Hotel opens in the Atlanta‘s Midtown arts district  on April 1st, 2010 and promises to offer a great view from every room.

Loews Atlanta Hotel will feature 414 guest rooms when it’s completed, including 44 suites.  Each room will be equipped with a 37” HD flat-screen TV, 300-thread-count cotton linens and a plush “Ultimate Doeskin” robe.   Guests will also have access to in-room wireless Internet and wireless phones.

The new luxury hotel is looking to attract upscale business travelers with an emphasis on tech amenities like a wireless lobby bar.  In addition to Internet access, the Loews Atlanta Hotel will have 24,000 square feet of “function space” available, estimating that it can host groups of as many as 1,580 people. Of course, it wouldn’t be a luxury hotel without a state of the art fitness center, spa and on site dining, all of which will be available under the Loews Atlanta Hotel’s roof.

While the doors won’t open to guests until April, you can check in on the progress of the Midtown hotel (and check out current Atlanta weather conditions) via webcam.

Puerto Rico’s San Juan Marriott Resort Helps Guests Record YouTube Postcards

San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

One of the best places to stay in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is Condado Beach–with easy access to dining, shopping, nightlife, beach lounging and the historical area of Old San Juan. And smack in the middle of Condado Beach is the San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino, a great choice for families or couples to base their San Juan explorations. The hotel now helps guests share their vacation experience with pals back home with free YouTube postcards.

The hotel’s YouTube Concierge offers guests a chance to star in a 30-second video postcard, which is then uploaded to YouTube for you to share with friends and family back home. The free service allows you to avoid worrying about buying postcards or stamps, or whether to bring the camera down to the pool or beach. Take a look at the video we shot poolside on our last day.
