BRYANT PARK HOTEL PARTNERS WITH AVELLE
TO OFFER FIRST HOTEL ACCESSORY RENTAL CONCIERGE SERVICE
Premier Fashion Hotel and Largest Rented-Luxury E-tailer
Offer Bryant Park Hotel Guests a New Luxury To Ease the Pain of Packing
SEATTLE, WA (September 29, 2009) — Checked-bag fees, long security lines and the hassle of lugging a heavy suitcase from destination to destination have travelers everywhere looking for ways to pack lighter and smarter. As women learn to go without full-size shampoo bottles and blow-dryers, and cleverly devise outfits to ensure the most use out of the fewest wardrobe items, why should they also have to choose only a few select accessories to take along on their journeys?
Avelle and the Bryant Park Hotel understand the challenge of trying to pack light and dress fashionably while away from home. To help make travel fun again, in an economic time when many little luxuries have been stripped away, U.S.-based guests of the hotel can now rent designer bags, jewelry and sunglasses from Avelle.com in advance of their stay and enjoy being pampered by free shipping to the hotel, as well as 25% off their rental fee – a first for the boutique hotel industry.
“Offering Avelle’s service to our guests as part of our reservation process adds an exciting touch of luxury you won’t see at other boutique hotels in New York,” said Phil Columbo, Asset & Managing Director of The Bryant Park Hotel. “The new partnership with Avelle further solidifies our status as the fashion-centric hotel, and we are proud to be the first to offer this kind of service.”
Upon making a reservation at the Bryant Park Hotel, all guests currently residing in the United States will receive an email containing information about the hotel’s partnership with Avelle, including information on redeeming 25% off their rental fees and free shipping, as well as a direct link to Avelle.com. Once guests have browsed through the website and accessorized their trips, they can then focus on the rest of their packing, knowing that the beautiful handbags and jewelry they’ve selected will be waiting for them at The Bryant Park Hotel upon arrival. At the end of their stay, guests simply return their borrowed items to the hotel concierge – no shipping, packing or post office required – who ensures the items are returned to Avelle.
“Bryant Park has a reputation as the fashion hotel in the fashion capital of the U.S., and with designers like Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Gucci offered on Avelle’s site, forming a partnership with this hotel was a natural for us,” said Michael Smith, Avelle CEO. “We believe that women should never have to choose among their beloved handbags when traveling – and Avelle looks forward to providing the hotel’s guests with their own closet away from home.”
