PHOENIX, July 31, 2012 -- The
recently opened BEST WESTERN PREMIER Hotel 115 Kew in Melbourne
and the Best Western Premier Mona Hotel outside of Moscow
join the growing Best Western Premier branded family of hotels around
the world. Under the Best
Western descriptor program (BEST WESTERN®, BEST WESTERN
PLUS® and BEST WESTERN PREMIER®) there are now 146 BEST WESTERN
PREMIER hotels in 34 countries.
Best Western Premier branded hotels not only offer leisure and business travelers an upscale hotel experience, but also hotel developers the opportunity to reach into new geographic markets with an upscale Best Western brand. Highlights of the Best Western Premier brand include:
"We have several exciting Best Western Premier properties opening in North America that not only exemplify the upscale experience offered by the Best Western Premier brand, but also illustrate the flexibility in design and unique characteristics that define each Best Western Premier property," said Mark Williams, vice president of North American Development. "Scheduled to open in 2012, both the condo-style BEST WESTERN PREMIER Saratoga Resort Villas in Kissimmee, Florida and the BEST WESTERN PREMIER Petion-Ville Hotel in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, which will cater to the business traveler and offer five-star service and amenities, are excellent examples of the upscale, yet unique types of properties, available to developers under the Best Western Premier brand."
