2-for-1 to support the nation’s New Year’s resolutions

Best Western Hotels GB, the largest group of independently owned and managed hotels in Great Britain, has just launched its nationwide 2-for-1 offer at over 120 unique hotels across the length and breadth of Great Britain to usher in the New Year.

The hotel group aims to make it easier for people to turn over a new leaf and stick to New Year’s resolutions by offering even more opportunities to experience something or somewhere new in 2007!

Guests making reservations between now and 27th February, 2007, for stays throughout January and February, will be able to stay twice as long at no further cost, with two nights’ accommodation costing only the standard one night rate.

What’s more, guests can stay at the weekend or during the week at many of the participating hotels, meaning that there are now unparalleled opportunities to get out and experience the best of what Great Britain has to offer in 2007.

Ayshea Griffiths, Product Marketing Manager, Best Western Hotels GB, said: “We are delighted to launch our extensive 2-for-1 offer across a huge variety of our hotels in Great Britain.

“With many people wanting to turn over a new leaf in the New Year, we wanted to give them the maximum opportunity to keep those resolutions alive without being too hard on the bank balance after Christmas!

“Guests can stick to that new fitness regime by walking in some of Great Britain’s most stunning countryside and staying in a Best Western hotel nearby, or perhaps a vow they’ve made to experience our great cities in the New Year can be fulfilled with a short break to one of our contemporary city centre hotels.

“With such an extensive choice of both hotels and locations, every taste is catered for, with the offer featuring hotels that boast award-winning restaurants, health spas and sports and leisure facilities too - not to mention those in areas of stunning natural beauty, such as the Scottish Highlands and the Peak District.

“Guests who are determined to start the New Year by learning more about Great Britain’s history now have the ideal opportunity too, with breaks available in some of the most historical cities – Lincoln, Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon are just a small sample of what’s available.

“With all participating hotels offering breaks at half the cost, there has never been a better opportunity to make a new start in the New Year.”
