To meet the growing needs of North American
meeting planners in this increasingly global market, Associated Luxury Hotels
International (ALHI) has expanded its international membership with the addition of its
first hotel in Europe. The famed InterContinental London Park Lane in London,
England is Associated Luxury Hotels’ newest member, and first in Europe. It joins other
notable international members Fiesta Americana Grand Aqua, Fiesta Americana Grand
Coral Beach, and Fiesta Americana Grand Los Cabos in Mexico; La Samanna on St.
Martin in the French West Indies in the Caribbean; and Pan Pacific Vancouver and Pan
Pacific Whistler Mountainside in British Columbia, Canada. Associated Luxury Hotels
also has four members in Puerto Rico, El Conquistador Resort & Golden Door Spa,
Condado Plaza Hotel & Casino, El San Juan Hotel & Casino, and Westin Rio Mar Beach
Golf Resort & Spa.
Associated Luxury Hotels has served the North American meetings industry for over 20
years with its national sales responsibilities for its membership of more than 80 of
America’s premier four- and five-diamond/star quality hotels and resorts, plus several
extraordinary international hotels and resorts in Canada, Mexico, The Caribbean and now
in Europe.
“With the addition of InterContinental London Park Lane to the select international
hotels and resorts in the portfolio, Associated Luxury Hotels is more strategically
positioned to best serve meeting planners in North America,” said David Gabri, president
and CEO of Associated Luxury Hotels. “The globalization of the meetings, incentive, and
convention business is increasingly apparent, so we’re simply meeting the demands of
our meeting professional clients to offer them an array of upper-tier member options for
their groups, with easy one-call access to ALHI’s National Sales Network.”

Gabri continued, “Associated Luxury Hotels is celebrating our 20th anniversary of
serving the meetings, incentive, convention and exhibition industries in North America.
Expanding our international membership helps North American meeting planners by
providing to them easier access to these exceptional hotels and resorts, and it helps the
properties by becoming more accessible to meeting planners in North America.”
Overlooking the Royal Parks and Buckingham Palace on Hyde Park Corner in London,
the InterContinental London Park Lane is nearing completion of a £60 million
(approximately $107 million) renovation. Reopening in Fall 2006, the new hotel will
reveal 387 elegant rooms and designer suites, 23,000-square-feet of exceptional meeting
space with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Park Lane and the Royal Parks, a chic
city spa, and the exceptional new restaurant Theo Randall at The InterContinental.
With an incredible portfolio of more than 68,000 rooms and suites and over 8.3 million
square feet of meeting space, Associated Luxury Hotels enables planners to gain easy
access to outstanding hotels and resorts for meetings and incentive programs ranging
from 10 to 5,000 rooms by one-call to its professionally staffed National Sales Network.
Member properties include extraordinary meeting resorts, incomparable city center
hotels, exclusive smaller hotels, properties in international destinations, and hotels with
gaming or entertainment.
Associated Luxury Hotels has 12 National Sales Offices, with locations in Atlanta,
Boston, Northern California, Southern California, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Kansas City
(MO), New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. The membership
organization now features 24 sales professionals serving the meetings industry.
