Hampton(R), the national brand of mid-priced Hampton Inn(R) and Hampton Inn & Suites(R) hotels, and the first mid-priced hotel brand to offer guests a complimentary, daily breakfast as part of their stay, announces that on weekends this fall their guests also can enjoy a complimentary lunch at participating Bennigans(R) and Steak and Ale(R).
The “Let`s Do Lunch(TM)” promotion offers guests staying at Hampton hotels on a Friday or Saturday night between October 1, 2002 and December 31, 2002, two buy-one, get-one certificates for lunch at participating Bennigan`s and Steak and Ale restaurants(a). One certificate is good at Bennigan`s and the other at Steak and Ale. Travelers can take advantage of the offer by making advanced reservations through www.hamptoninn.com or 1-800-HAMPTON(R); they must reserve using the promotion code “FUN.” The lunch certificates will be mailed to them after the completion of their stay.

“We always have included an appetizing complimentary breakfast to get guests ready for their day, and now we can offer a tasty lunch too,” said Judy Christa-Cathey, vice president - brand marketing for Hampton. “We all know that travelers today are looking for quality and value, which is why Hampton brings Bennigan`s and Steak and Ale to the table for this promotion.”

Introduced in 1984, Hampton Inn is based on the concept of providing guests with consistent, value-priced accommodations and a bundled package of amenities included in the price of the hotel room. Hampton is a leading hotel brand in the mid-priced sector, winner of numerous national awards for quality and guest satisfaction, and one of the fastest growing hotel brands in the U.S. It was the first hotel brand in the industry to introduce a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, which promises that if a guest is not completely satisfied with their stay, their night`s stay is free.

The Hampton brand is part of Hilton Hotels Corporation, recognized internationally as a preeminent hospitality company. The company develops, owns, manages or franchises more than 2,000 hotels, resorts and vacation ownership properties.
