"Our partnership with VOILÀ gives us the opportunity to reward our bookers and meeting planners with a world of recognition, benefits and amenities," said Monica Gonzalez, Director of Sales of Las Américas Golden Tower Hotel. "Our bookers will also have the opportunity to come and experience the design, five-star services and high quality standards that make this new hotel a jewel in the Financial Center of the city, making it a business hub in Latin America."

Bookers and meeting planners who join Las Américas Golden Rewards for free will earn 500 VOILÀ points per room reservation and 1,000 points per day for catering events and group business. In addition, those who visit the Las Américas Golden Tower Hotel will earn 5 points per every US$1 spent.

Points earned are redeemable for complimentary hotel nights at hundreds of participating VOILÀ hotels worldwide, airline miles, or premier shopping via Amazon.com, iTunes, Visa® Gift Card (redeemable globally) and many others.

Las Américas Golden Tower Hotel's 285 upscale rooms and suites were designed for guests with the highest expectations and include luxurious finishing touches including premier amenities, stunning views and soundproof walls and glass. Activities include a heated indoor pool, spa with hammam, flotarium with mineral water, fitness center, executive lounge, beauty salon, and business center.

"We are proud to debut the first VOILÀ program exclusively for rooms, meeting and event bookers. In developing a custom-tailored program for Las Américas Golden Tower Hotel, we wanted to give bookers compelling reasons to choose the hotel for upcoming events whether it's a wedding, family reunion or business conference," said Peter Gorla, managing director of VOILÀ Hotel Rewards. "We are excited to expand the VOILÀ booking and meeting planners reward platform by launching similar programs soon with several additional unique independent hotels globally."
