TabletHotels.com launches members only program

May 02, 2008 | Online Travel

TabletHotels.com, the leading source for boutique and luxury hotels around the world, has unveiled a new version of their website, which features not just a new design, but plenty of added functionality, including the highly anticipated Tablet Plus members only program.

The Tablet Plus program offers customized benefits at over 180 participating Tablet Hotels. Benefits include free upgrades, late checkout, free breakfast, complimentary wi-fi, as well as welcome cocktails and custom amenities. Tablet Plus memberships are available online for $195US per year and members also receive 3 installments of the Tablet 10: Ten New Hotels book series.

“The response to the Tablet Plus members only program has been tremendous. Within just weeks of launching the program over 1000 members have joined and have made hundreds of bookings,” says Mr. Laurent Vernhes, CEO and co-founder of TabletHotels.com. “We continue to add new hotels and new benefits to Tablet Plus and are working with other luxury goods and service providers to enrich the program.”

The new TabletHotels.com website maintains the clean design and the ease-of-use of the original site, with some behind-the-scenes upgrades that make for a faster and more efficient booking experience. The layout has been optimized for today’s higher-resolution displays, and the hotel images are bigger and more mouth-watering that ever.

“Obviously when you redesign you don’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater,” says Mr. Vernhes. “This was about enhancing the high-quality experience we already offered and our users were responsive and passionate during the semi-public beta—they let us know that we didn’t need to fix what wasn’t broken. Listening carefully to our clients proved once again very helpful.”
