Inntel Hotels celebrates its first anniversary

Inntel Hotels celebrated its first anniversary under the Inntel Hotels name: time for a big party, so over 10.000 invitations were send. Because of a surprising promotion, the city of Amsterdam was covered in orange during the night of March 31.

A total amount of 10.000 bicycles in the heart of Amsterdam got an orange saddle cover with only a website written on it: www.wathebiknouaanmijnfietshangen.nl (What's that hanging on my bicycle?)

Loads of people send in their most funny picture in a swimsuit, the top 5 could be seen at the website mentioned above. The 100 people that won a free overnight stay in on of our hotels have already been contacted.

Karin Geurts, CEO of Inntel Hotels, looks back on a stunning year: "With success we’ve been building the Inntel Hotels brand for over a year. If you look at the cities where our hotels are located, it’s like the hotels never had another name. Our successful first year is something we want to celebrate.”

Last year, at the introduction of the Inntel Hotels brand, the hotel group gave away 700 nights at one of their hotels for only € 1 per night. Karin Geurts refused to tell if Inntel Hotels will have a special promotion again at April 1st 2012: “You’ll be surprised”, she says.

Ria Westerveld, General Manager of Inntel Hotels Amsterdam Centre says: "The city looks very colourful with the orange saddles, you see them everywhere. I really like all the responses we get; many people come to thank us for the saddle cover!"
