Signature Travel Network Adds Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile

Montreal’s luxury property, Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile has been added to the Signature Travel Network’s hotels & resorts program for 2017. The hotel, located at the foot of Mount Royal Park near the city’s famed McGill University and Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, offers convenient access to the city’s financial and leisure centres.

The Sofitel, along with Signature’s three other Montreal properties: Hotel Le St-James, Loews Hôtel Vogue, and the Ritz-Carlton Montreal—the first property in the world to bear the combined Ritz & Carlton designations—should see a bump in interest by travellers next year as the French-Canadian city rolls out a boisterous celebration of its 375^th Anniversary all year long.

Signature Travel Network, a member-owned travel cooperative, recently announced a significant expansion to its hotels & resorts program for 2017.

Although Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile is the only new Canadian property in the roster, the hotel & resorts collection is adding 77 hotels worldwide, to bring its total to 978 properties. (Of that, 23 are Canadian hotels.)

“We are very proud of the progress we have made with our hotels & resorts program since its launch in 2005,” said Ignacio Maza, Signature’s executive vice president. “Our collection now brings together world-class properties in 90 countries all over the globe.”

Clients who book a member property, utilizing the assistance of a Signature travel agent, have access to a range of bonus perks, including daily breakfast for two, complimentary Wi-Fi and a special Signature benefit, such as a $100 hotel/resort credit, one lunch or dinner for two, a spa treatment, an airport transfer or other privileges. Signature benefits also include late check-out, early check-in and upgrades based on availability and preferential rates.

“We have strengthened and improved our consumer privileges at several hotels, making our 2017 hotels & resorts program our best ever,” said Maza. “Hotels chosen for the 2017 program have been vetted by Signature’s hotel committee, representing leading members who have strong hotel and resort sales.”

The new hotel directory is customized for Signature member agencies and there are also some 25,000+ pages of proprietary online content available to front-line consultants and consumers through members’ websites. Signature also features its own proprietary booking engine.

Other additions to Signature’s preferred program for 2017 include such city properties as Baccarat Hotel New York, Grand Hyatt Melbourne, TAJ Cape Town, W Bogotá, Mandarin Oriental Singapore, Peninsula Beijing, Hotel Neri Barcelona, Ritz-Carlton Georgetown, Pendry San Diego, InterContinental Lisbon, Thompson Seattle and Langham Chicago.

A few newly added lodges and retreats include Anantara Golden Triangle in Thailand, The Leela Udaipur India, explora Valle Sagrado in Peru, Amanemu in Shima Japan and Hacienda AltaGracia in Costa Rica as well as such resorts as the Park Hyatt St. Kitts, the new Grand Velas resort in Los Cabos and the recently opened Andaz Scottsdale AZ.
