This is a good promotion for exposing travelers to the Leading Hotels of the World group of luxury accommodations. And this is an incredible opportunity for hotel room rate savings with the most expensive luxury hotel brand in the world. A news report last February showed the average room rate for the Leading Hotels of the World hotel members in 2007 was $470. This group of hotels had the highest average room rate of the luxury hotel segment.
1928 is the year the Leading Hotels of the World was founded hence the $19.28 promotional rates.

Total room night sales of 1.65 million in 2007 with fewer than 250,000 of those rooms booked over the internet at www.lhw.com may be a primary reason for this discount promotion. With five of six hotel room nights booked for LHW stays not happening through the lhw.com website this promotion is a good marketing tool to increase reservations traffic over the internet.
Promotions like the 1928 online promotion are a clever marketing strategy for increasing LHW brand awareness, new Leaders Club members, and lhw.com website activity. The Leading Hotels of the World has over 450 hotel members and about 84,000 rooms worldwide. A bit more than 20% of the LHW hotel members are participating in this promotion.

Leaders Club is a $300 membership hotel loyalty program for Leading Hotels of the World. For hotel travelers who plan to stay at a LHW member hotel on regular paid rates, the Leaders Club is a means to complimentary upgrades that will likely result in a rebate equivalent to the membership fee after one hotel stay. Complimentary membership to Leaders Club is available for newsletters and special offers, but don’t expect the complimentary upgrades with a complimentary Leaders Club membership.

If at first you don’t succeed…try…try…try again.
The past month has seen me frustrated with trying to secure these “first-come, first-served” promotions with unsuccessful attempts at getting the Sheraton San Diego for $5.01 a couple of weeks back (LT post here) and prior to that the Super 8 Motels $8.88 rooms (LT post here).

While I don’t count on landing this incredible hotel deal, the opportunity to book a luxury hotel room night selling for less than 5% of the average daily rates for most of these participating hotels will have me setting my alarm clock, and readying my mouse finger for scrolling and clicking at 5am California time Wednesday morning, October 1.
