“Summer of 1913” in Warsaw
Infotainment event for the 94th birthday of the famous landmark hotel
Warsaw, August 9, 2007. The Polonia Palace Hotel and its global partner
WORLDHOTELS will celebrate the “Summer of 1913”, the 94th birthday of

international members of WORLDHOTELS’ portfolio of more than 500 unique
hotels in 70 countries will also join in the infotainment event on August 29,

Built in 1913, the Polonia Palace Hotel is Warsaw’s most stylish and elegant
address, located in the true heart of Warsaw. The member of WORLDHOTELS’
First Class Collection was recently completely refurbished to offer guests all
the essential hotel facilities they would expect from a quality hotel in the 21st
century. Combining modern amenities within elegant and luxurious
surroundings, the hotel features 206 well appointed and stylish guestrooms,
Strauss Restaurant with truly European and Polish cuisine, the trendy yet
relaxed Bojangles Bar & Lounge, a modern fitness centre, sauna and solarium
as well as state of the art business and meeting facilities.
“We are looking forward to present our stylish and elegant premises to
Poland’s travel industry and our business partners together with
WORLDHOTELS,” says Peter Goehle, General Manager of the Polonia Palace
Hotel. “Our partnership with this hotel group for more than three years has
been very beneficial for us due to the strong brand as well as the wide range
of services.”
“With its great tradition, luxurious facilities, individual style and excellent
service the Polonia Palace Hotel is a great example for the kind of properties
WORLDHOTELS features in its portfolio as are the other ten member hotels
participating in this event,” comments Christian Badenhop, Area Director of
Sales & Marketing for Central, Eastern and Northern Europe. “We focus on

offering the unique hotels many people are looking for – something that many
big hotel chains are unable to offer these days – and provide our hoteliers
with the support they need to be successful on a global level,” adds Sylke
Oder, Senior Key Account Manager Central Europe.
As the largest and most established Europe based global hotel group for
individual and independent properties, WORLDHOTELS enables its hotels to
be part of a globally recognized brand while remaining independent. The
company provides a wide range of tailor-made sales, marketing, distribution,
training and e-commerce services and products as well as consultancy.
WORLDHOTELS is, for example, the only group of independent hotels offering
a network of partnerships with 18 of the world's leading international airlines
enabling travellers with the desire for individuality to also collect airline miles
at independent hotels, who normally do not have the ability to partner in
frequent flyer programmes.
The company operates more than 30 sales offices throughout the world as
well as toll free reservation numbers worldwide. The hotels are connected to
all major global distribution systems through seamless next generation
connectivity as well as to internet portals and distribution partners through
advanced internet distribution system and web booking engine connections.
The company’s Performing Excellence Programme enables WORLDHOTELS to
evaluate and compare performance between hotel departments as well as
between the hotels and their competitors thus ensuring retention and overperformance
of the WORLDHOTELS high-level quality standards. The rate
shopping tool WORLDHOTELS.rate scan helps hoteliers to track their rates
provided by Internet Distribution Channels and compare them with the
competition in order to increase online booking results. The
WORLDHOTELS.academy provides its member hotels with a full range of
dedicated training modules tailor-made for the needs of a WORLDHOTELS
property.
