Starwood Insider - Jaime Gottlieb - Rev Your Engines for the Ultimate Ride with W Hotels and Acura

Jaime Gottlieb is the Manager of Online Communications for the Luxury Brands Group and thelobby.com's source on all happenings at W Hotels.

Introducing the latest in Whatever/Whenever® services, W Hotels and Acura have announced an exclusive partnership for W Hotels guests. The 300-horsepower Acura MDX, the preferred vehicle of W Hotels Worldwide, is ready to show you the town from a whole new perspective.

Starting in 2008, W guests can request their ride in select W Hotels. Whether it’s shopping on 5th Avenue, a ride down Rodeo Drive or a swift lift to Bourbon Street, bring your sensory experience along. Just dial the Acura Ambassador or Whatever/Whenever, reserve a complimentary ride and enjoy an SUV stocked with W essentials like Tidy Towels, Wish magazines and signature W music. To help guide you along your way, the MDX is filled with technologically advanced amenities like the Acura Navigation System with on-demand Zagat® reviews. Find where you’re going and the perfect entrée to order once you get there. The Acura Experience is ready to whisk you away at all W Hotels in the U.S., starting April 1, 2008.

“W is proud to launch this groundbreaking partnership with Acura, a brand that shares our passion for the unexpected and the extraordinary,” said Ross Klein, President of Starwood’s Luxury Brands Group. “The Acura Experience is offered through the world of Whatever/Whenever, providing both jet setters and road warriors with the ultimate in experiential travel, whether in room or on the road. From Scottsdale to Shanghai, Vieques to Verbier, Montreal to Minnesota, W Hotels is the influential and innovative lifestyle authority.”

Jaime,
Based upon all information I've read to date, one might come to the conclusion that any Reving of Engines for the Ultimate Ride is a benefit of staying at a participating W Hotel. However, I suspect there must be some additional expenses, which would be added to the customer's folio during their stay. Any details about how much this offer might set one back?

Thanks!

Well Hello there,
Sorry for the delayed response - the Acura Experience is totally complimentary! So zip on over to all W Hotels in the US and Canada and give it a try.
