Sterling Hotels Launches New Branding On Revamped Website


LOOKS AND PERSONALITY: STERLING HOTELS™ LAUNCHES NEW BRANDING ON REVAMPED WEBSITE: WWW.STERLINGHOTELS.COM

Fast-Growing Brand Attracts 12 New Member Hotels as It Continues Global Expansion


HONG KONG - June 2008 - Looks attract. Personality endears. Sterling Hotels
offers both in spades. This is the fresh new branding approach known as Sterling Personality making its debut on the newly revamped website: www.SterlingHotels.com. The innovative website engages visitors with interactive features and the same playful wittiness and unexpected surprises that have proven successful in drawing smart business travellers and savvy vacationers to Sterling Hotels, a brand of Preferred Hotel Group™.

Hotels, too, are taking note of the Sterling Personality and making it their own. The fast-growing brand of top-quality value hotels, all privately owned and operated, has attracted 12 new member hotels globally to the portfolio in the past few months alone. From India to Indonesia and Brazil to Colorado and California in the U.S., the newest Sterling members have expanded the collection to 20 countries across the globe.

"We are thrilled to welcome new members to Sterling Hotels brand in Asia," said Mark Simmons, Area Managing Director, Asia. "There is an increasing need in this region for hotels with consistent quality, service and style at a moderate price point. Sterling Hotels provide just that, each with its own personality."

The latest additions complement existing member hotels such as The Fleming in Hong Kong, Royal Park Shiodome Tower in Tokyo, the Heritage Hotel in Connecticut, and the Southwark Rose in London, extending Sterling's offering of great locations, sensible rates, and excellent service to wider audience of savvy travelers. The addition of the Eden Hotel Emmen and angelo Designhotel Munich reveals the strength of the relationship Sterling Hotels has with hotel groups Vienna International and Eden Hotel Group.
