September 13, 2010 - The Portland Regency Hotel & Spa today announced its partnership with Stash Hotel Rewards™, an innovative hotel rewards program that enables travelers to quickly earn free nights at distinctive, independent hotels without blackouts or inflexible category restrictions. Guests of The Portland Regency Hotel & Spa can now earn points toward free nights each time they stay at any of the 83 distinctive hotels in more than 63 cities that participate in Stash.

The Portland Regency Hotel is a luxurious boutique hotel, located in the heart of the historic Old Port district on Portland, Maine's restored waterfront. As a distinguished member of the Historic Hotels of America, the Portland Regency Hotel & Spa was originally constructed in 1895 as a home for Maine's National Guard. Today, the neo-classical Armory building is a full service property, unparalleled in customer service that caters to leisure and business travelers with an ambiance of timeless elegance, comfort and convenience.

Guests of the Portland Regency Hotel & Spa enjoy a full array of amenities including complimentary wireless Internet access, nightly turn-down service complete with chocolates, morning coffee or tea delivered complimentary to the room, and flat panel LCD televisions with HBO and HD channels. Other conveniences available in select rooms include working fireplaces, two-person Jacuzzi tubs, washroom LCD televisions, Keurig coffee makers, and Gilchrist & Soames Spa Therapy Body Care products.

The Portland Regency Hotel & Spa is the first hotel in Maine to participate in Stash Hotel Rewards, which provides a new and innovative way to thank loyal and frequent travelers for their patronage. As a member of Stash, The Portland Regency can offer a competitive rewards program that gives discerning guests, who want a unique, distinctive experience when they travel, the opportunity to participate in the type of rewards program that is typically only offered by large hotel chains.

“We feel that Stash is an extremely valuable program for our guests,” says General Manager David Tamulevich. “Stash offers guests the opportunity to earn points for free stays and gives them the ability to use those points at the type of luxury properties that they prefer when they travel. For guests who want the experience that independent, boutique hotels provide, this is a groundbreaking concept- a rewards program specially designed for travelers who want a truly unique experience. Guests no longer have to choose a cookie-cutter hotel simply because they want the benefits of being a rewards member. Now they can have those benefits at the types of hotels they really want to stay at.”

Guests can easily sign up for a free account at the Stash website www.stashrewards.com. Points can be earned immediately and never expire. Redemption is simple and free from inflexible restrictions. Additionally, Stash members have access to exclusive travel deals; for example, point bonuses matched to a member's travel history, or weekend get-away offers customized to a member's home city.
