Best Rate Guarantee for PARKROYAL Hotels and Resorts Website

Singapore, May 7, 2009 - Strengthening its commitment to customers, PARKROYAL Hotels and Resorts today announced the launch of the Best Rate Guarantee programme for its online reservation platform on its website, parkroyalhotels.com. Effective immediately, the programme will allow PARKROYAL customers to ensure that they enjoy the best publicly available rate online.

“The launch of Best Rate Guarantee builds on our commitment to provide the best value and experience for our guests by allowing customers to make their reservations with confidence on the brand’s website”, said Mr A. Patrick Imbardelli, President and CEO, Pan Pacific Hotels Group. “This customer guarantee will also go a long way in fostering greater customer confidence and affinity for the PARKROYAL brand.”

With PARKROYAL’s Best Rate Guarantee, every hotel reservation booked through parkroyalhotels.com for a PARKROYAL hotel or resort is guaranteed to have the lowest rate publicly available on the internet.
