The website has been enhanced to include easy-to-use reservation functions, user-friendly navigation and dynamic content in a secure environment. Visitors to the website enjoy greater ease of making room reservations (with less click throughs), exclusive special room packages and attractive promotions plus quicker access to hotel content and information. Some of the new initiatives that Swissôtel has added to its website include: 

Best Rate Guaranteed!

In April this year, Swissôtel Hotels and Resorts launched its internet Best Rate Guarantee where customers booking on swissotel.com are guaranteed the best rates for their hotel booking. If they find a website that is selling a lower rate than the best rate offered on swissotel.com, Swissôtel will not only match that rate but offer an additional 50% discount on that lower rate for the first night of the guest�s stay (terms and conditions apply). Since the introduction of the internet best rate guarantee, room bookings received through its website have increased tremendously, which is a clear demonstration of solid customer confidence in swissotel.com�s promise to deliver the best price for their hotel bookings. 

Online Deals

In a move to reward its existing online customers and encourage more online shoppers to book on its website, Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts has unleashed a slew of attractive incentives including:

US$10 off Food & Beverage Bills
