'HotelStar'
Our partnership with GlobalStar permits you to enjoy the best rates internationally, through the HotelStar Program. The Premier Hotel Program or “HotelStar” is the industry’s most comprehensive collection of hotels from around the globe. Through this group we are able to offer accommodation at negotiated rates of up to 53% off corporate and 74% off rack rates!
The 2008 Program Includes:
- More than 28,000 properties at 197 chains, 141 countries, or nearly 6,600 cities;
- More than 6,334 properties outside the U.S;
- Solid block space program;
- Thousands of value added amenities – bringing savings to the bottom line; and
- Supporting Hotel Help Desks.
What most influences a client’s buying decision when you book hotels for travel? Is it location, convenience, price, amenities or service? More than likely, it is a combination of these, and varies by the purpose of the business trip. “HotelStar” specifically features:
Savings to Bottom Line through Premier Rates
Premier Rates are the lowest published rates available to the individual business traveller. Furthermore, Premier Rates are available on a “run-of-house” basis, meaning that as long as rooms are available, the Premier Rate will be honoured.
Global Inventory with Diverse Price and Service Categories
Independent reviews over the last several years have hailed the Premier Hotel Program as the most extensive in terms of international inventory. Even international regional towns in most countries are included to benefit varied business needs.
Value Added Amenities: Premier Perks
To ensure you maximize your travel and entertainment investment, many participating hotels offer complimentary amenities – for instance, over half offer complimentary breakfast with preferred rate. Other Premier Perks for “HotelStar” include:
- Continental Breakfast

Block Space
Through our negotiations with Premier Hotels, “HotelStar” provides rooms in heavily booked or sold-out cities that are not available to other travellers. More than 700 hotels in high demand have set aside guaranteed room blocks for our exclusive use. Our access to this reserve of hotel rooms translates into a tremendous advantage and convenience for clients. Independent studies have continually rated Premier Block Space Program the industry leader, with the highest inventory of block space. Unlike other programs, the Premier Block Program is centrally managed to ensure optimal and accurate inventory allocation at all times. Please note that block space can sell out just as other hotel rooms can sell out.
Premier Promotions
Are you planning a holiday? Perhaps adding some free time to a business trip? Premier Promotions supplements the Premier Hotel Program. The expanded offering provides thousands of highly reduced discounts and exiting promotions at hotels and resorts worldwide for leisure travel!
Last Room Availability
Unlike promotional and other discount rates, Premier Rates offer Last Room Availability. Last Room Availability is an agreement between us and the hotel(s), whereby all Premier-negotiated rates are available at the Premier Rate, up to and including the last room to be sold in that room category. This ensures that travellers will receive the Premier Rate even for a property’s last room.
Corporate Stays
The ideal corporate stay will offer at minimum - internet access, a business centre, gym and be in close proximity to your meeting or work locations.
