Rewarding Meetings at Crowne Plaza Auckland
Auckland 4 June 2008 – Meetings, conferences and events have become even more rewarding at Crowne Plaza Auckland.
The hotel prides itself in its complete meeting package that is a unique combination of products and services. This
includes a 2-hour response to all meeting enquiries, followed by a detailed proposal within 24 hours - and it has just
got even better.
“Crowne Plaza now also offers an attractive loyalty programme giving clients even more reason to conference or hold
events at the hotel, earning reward points by simply booking events and conferences,” says Terry Holt, Crowne Plaza
Auckland Business Development Director.
The recently launched PCMR rewards Meeting Planners for holding meetings and events at Crowne Plaza, as well as any of
the other IHG hotels, not only in New Zealand but around the world. Points can then be redeemed for rewards, including
paying for future meetings at IHG hotels, free accommodation, airline miles, retail gift certifications and merchandise.
Jayshree Dayal, Institute of Directors, Training and Events Manager, is one of Crowne Plaza’s first PCMR members and
says it’s a great incentive for conference and event organisers.
“It’s nice to get some recognition for your hard work and be able to use it for a holiday or break away when it suits,”
she says.
“It’s the difference between getting a reward for yourself or not and is a great way of thanking you for your loyalty to
the hotel chain.”
Packaged together with Crowne Plaza Auckland’s newly refurbished accommodation and conference rooms and its heart of the
city location, the hotel is an excellent conference and event venue.
With 10 meeting rooms over 3 floors – a versatile 14 configurations with 4 of them offering natural light – plus a
ballroom catering for up to 500 people. Function spaces are positioned to enable delegates to move seamlessly between
rooms for greater conferencing efficiencies. The Aria restaurant and bar is also conveniently located on the ground
floor of the hotel with ample and easy access from all function spaces.
