BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Hampton® Hotels is helping family and friends reunite this spring. Whether it’s a ten-year class reunion or a family reunion, Hampton Hotels is bringing people together by inviting guests to enter the “Reunite with Hampton Sweepstakes” to win 50 two-night stays.

From now until May 31, 2009, guests can enter online at www.hampton.com/reunions to win the “Reunite with Hampton” package. The lucky winner will receive 50 two-night “Be My Guest” certificates, which entitles them to a complimentary stay at any Hampton, as well as the use of a meeting room at the Hampton property of their choice.

According to the US Travel Association, traveling to attend a social or family gathering event is the second most popular activity for domestic travelers behind shopping. Despite the current economic conditions, reunions are still a popular reason to travel. However to be able to make the trip, people are cutting costs by taking advantage of discounts and special offers as well as using their loyalty points.

“Nothing says we care more about bringing family and friends together better than the “Reunite with Hampton Sweepstakes,” said Judy Christa-Cathy, vice president brand marketing for Hampton Hotels. “At a time when large gatherings of this kind may be postponed, Hampton wants to give the opportunity to do what is most important – spending time with people we love.”

To help cut costs, reunion goers are also changing the locations of their get-togethers to more economical places. With more than 1,600 convenient locations, Hampton Hotels can be the economical choice for the stay. Each Hampton Hotel also provides guests with free high speed internet access and On the House® hot breakfast, which can help trim the cost of a gathering even more.

Reunion organizers are encouraged to take advantage of Hampton’s easy-to-use online group booking site at e-Events. Guests can price and book online, reserve up to 25 guest rooms and a meeting space and receive instant confirmation anytime or anywhere by going online to www.hampton.com. E-Events also allows reunion planners to create a personalized group web site that can keep participants informed of up-to-date plans and room reservation information.
