Adam's Mark Offers Attendees E-Booking

By Chris Davis / January 20, 2002

Following in the footsteps of some of its larger hotel chain competitors, St. Louis-based Adam's Mark Hotels & Resorts this spring will introduce the capability for meeting attendees to book rooms online at corporate negotiated rates at any of its 24 properties. The booking system is being developed by global distribution system Amadeus.

Beginning this month, the chain will allow transient travelers to book online at negotiated rates and by the spring plans to introduce rental car booking on its site, include all car and hotel reservation information on a single itinerary and offer a client profile system that stores basic booking data for repeat customers.

"We are very pleased to give our valued corporate travel partners and meeting clients the 24/7 convenience and accessibility of online reservations," said Adam's Mark executive vice president and COO Fred Kummer.

Other chains, such as Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott and Six Continents, also offer online booking at negotiated rates for attendees.
