Luxury hotel group Stamford Hotels and Resorts has introduced a special offer to entice guests to come back again. Guests, who stay for two nights at any one of its 10 hotels in Australia and New Zealand during winter, will receive a special room rate along with a $60 Stamford restaurant gift certificate, so they share the experience with family or friends at any of their hotels in Australia and New Zealand.

�We want to send a thank you to our guests for returning again and also to our first time guests for making the choice to stay with us,� said Stamford�s Group Director of Marketing and Sales, David Perry. �And the gift certificate is an opportunity for our guests, particularly those travelling on business, to take their partner or family to their nearest Stamford hotel, and enjoy a meal or special bottle of wine on us.�

The gift certificate is valid for a period of three months, and can be used at any Stamford hotel or resort restaurant.

As well, Stamford�s Sensational Winter* offer means guests can enjoy a two-night stay between now and September 30 at one of the Group�s award-winning properties such as the Stamford Plaza Brisbane and the Stamford Plaza Double Bay for almost half-price. Prices vary from hotel to hotel, but start from as low as $160 a night at the Stamford Grand Adelaide and range up to $310 a night at the award-winning Sir Stamford Circular Quay in Sydney. In New Zealand, rates for the five-star Stamford Plaza Auckland start at $210 a night (plus GST) for a two-night stay in a deluxe room.

�Our focus is on the total hospitality experience,� Mr Perry said. �We�re considering every detail and opportunity to ensure our guests feel better about being away from home.�
