Interstate Hotels &
Resorts , the nation’s largest independent hotel management company,
offers an iPod(TM) mp3 music player ($240 value) to anyone booking a
meeting or catered event worth $5,000 or more in revenue now through
December 2004* at up to 180 full-service locations across the United
States. Additionally, Interstate Hotels & Resorts is donating 50 cents per
room booked to local chapters of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, estimated
at $20,000 total. As a special incentive for registering, planners are
entered into a drawing for a three-day, two-night stay for two, including
round-trip airfare to New York City or Los Angeles and breakfast and
dinner for two each day.** From the secluded setting between New York and Philadelphia at Doral
Forrestal and the bayside vistas at Sheraton San Francisco Fisherman’s
Wharf to the windy city convenience of the Holiday Inn Chicago O’Hare
International and the rolling ravines of Doral Tesoro Hotel and Golf Club
(Fort Worth, Texas), Interstate provides a multitude of options tailored
to individual business needs ideal for smaller-size meetings and retreats
(25-100 people) or larger groups (up to 2,000 or more).

“Interstate Hotels & Resorts is pleased to present this HOT incentive to
planners while tying in a donation to a worthwhile organization such as
Cystic Fibrosis,” said Sean Worker, senior vice president, sales,
Interstate Hotels & Resorts. “As the largest independent hotel management
company we offer an array of environments to exceed planners’ needs,
corporate or pleasure.”
