BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - The Hilton Family of Hotels
and Telecharge.com (a service of The Shubert Organization) have announced the
expansion of Hilton Family Theatre Nights, a first of its kind hotel and theatre
ticket package, in Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas. Building on the program's
successful New York launch, performances available now include "Wicked," "Jersey
Boys," "The Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular," and "Mamma Mia!."
Offering best-available seats at the time of booking combined with the
highest-quality hotel accommodations, the exclusive agreement offers the most
robust hotel and entertainment packages in the industry. The packages bundle
stays at Hilton, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Doubletree, Embassy Suites Hotels,
Hampton, Hilton Garden Inn, Hilton Grand Vacations, Homewood Suites by Hilton
and The Waldorf=Astoria Collection hotels in participating cities with exclusive
access to tickets for some of the most popular shows in the U.S.
Hilton Family Theatre Nights' newly revamped website provides more theatre
options and makes it even easier to purchase tickets and stay at a Hilton Family
Hotel. Guests simply choose their dates and book their stay. Only Hilton Family
Theatre Nights offers this two-in-one package. Through the site, guests can also
book their favorite Hilton Family programs, such as the Romance Package or Dream
Deals, and earn HHonors Points & Miles® for their stays, a benefit not
available through other third-party theatre-hotel package sites.
"The Hilton Family of Hotels is proud to expand Hilton Family Theatre Nights
and offer more guests convenient and economical packages combining hotel rooms
and theatre tickets. By adding three major cities to this program, we are
providing guests with more opportunities to enhance their travel experience,"
said Adam Burke, senior vice president, Customer Loyalty, Hilton Hotels
Corporation. "Hilton Family Theatre Nights not only offers an extensive
inventory, but also provides HHonors members with a unique way to earn both
Points & Miles®." "Bringing Hilton Family Theatre Nights to New York in
October 2007 presented a great opportunity for theatre-going travelers to see
shows on Broadway," said David Andrews, Vice President of Telecharge.com. "Now,
with the addition of Los Angeles, Chicago and Las Vegas this groundbreaking
theatre package will be available to more travelers around the world."
The Hilton Family of Hotels is the official hotel partner for Telecharge.com
and broadwaygetaways.com, representing the first hotel company to package with
Telecharge to offer customers actual direct availability from Box Office
inventory. For more information visit www.hiltonhhonors.com/theatrenights.
