Hotels.com, the Expert in Booking Hotels Online, Features the Convenience of
Group Bookings
DALLAS, May 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- June is THE wedding month of the
year and brides have enough to worry about when planning their wedding without
worrying about booking hotel rooms for their wedding party, family members and
guests. The experts at Hotels.com recommend their online group reservation
feature to take the guesswork out of booking parties of any size in a single
transaction. Brides can book up to 8 rooms online or call hotels.com Group
Reservation Specialists for 9+ rooms.

According to the wedding authorities at weddingchannel.com, "Recommending
hotels for your guests will help you place them in close proximity to the
wedding activities as well as strategically allow you to place family at one
hotel and friends at another," said Rosanna McCollough, editor in chief,
weddingchannel.com. "Strategically, this will keep your rowdy groomsmen away
from your mother-in-law."
The group bookings feature on http://www.hotels.com is a convenient way for
groups to book accommodations for any occasion including family reunions or
sports team travel. By merely clicking on the 9+ rooms option or the Group
Travel link at the bottom of the hotels.com homepage you can complete the
Group Hotel form and you will be contacted by a Group Reservations Specialist
or call 1-866-476-8771 directly. Parties of fewer than nine can book their
groups online through Hotels.com while larger parties can appreciate the
service of working directly with a Group Reservations Specialist in order to
book rooms with confidence and obtain the personal assistance of a hotel
expert.
"We listen to our customers, and more and more they are asking for a
convenient and reliable way to book groups online whether for a family
wedding, high school reunion or a sporting event," said Cheryl Rosner,
president of Hotels.com. "We aim to make wedding, honeymoon or any group
travel a smooth and easy process from the booking through the check out."
According to Hotels.com, the following are the "Top 10 Weddings
Destinations" for the new "WeddingMoon" trend (combining wedding and honeymoon
in one location with family and friends):
