Pan Pacific Manila

Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts launched a new loyalty program that tweaks the usual perks. For example, instead of only airline miles, members will get to go behind the scenes with Pan Pacific Kuala Lumpur International Airport air traffic controllers. Instead of a food and beverage credit, a Cantonese chef will give a dim sum cooking lesson.

The company's GHA Discovery program rewards you with "local experiences" every time your membership is upgraded or you stay at a new brand.

If you were a youngster in the Sydney suburb of Parramatta in the '90s, the Park Royal was your first port of call for hotel fun. Conveniently located near a strip of clubs and restaurants, it was the place to go for birthday parties, after parties, any party at all out in the 'burbs. Over time it lost the Park Royal name and became better known as a business hotel. But just like flannel shirts and Axl Rose, the Park Royal is coming back to stoke Parramatta's nostalgia!

In fact, wasn't someone planning to dock a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/6/11/8133/61259/hotels/Vancouver_is_So_Hard_Up_for_Hotel_Rooms_That_a_Cruise_Ship_Is_Stepping_In_">cruise ship</a> in Vancouver to increase the hotel room supply? Well, thankfully you won't have to train your sea legs. You just have to dip into your savings. The <a href="http://www.panpacific.com/WhistlerMountainside/Overview.html">Pan Pacific Whistler</a> has released a limited supply of suites for "public consumption." (Yes, that's what the press release actually said.) The rooms are open from February 11 to February 28, 2010 at both the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Pan+Pacific+Whistler+Mountainside/ian/220704">Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside</a> and

It's a 484-room place which Sheraton just added a brand new wing of 99 rooms to earlier in the year (obviously nobody told them they'd be handing it over). Before the January reopening they'll be putting some Pan Pacific "brand standards" in place. And then the group

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/ppv_pool.jpg" class="top"> Vancouver is not necessarily the city that immediately comes to mind when we think of hotspots with outdoor rooftop pools, but the city's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Pan+Pacific+Vancouver/ian/141453">Pan Pacific Hotel</a> has just re-opened its 8th floor terrace and the hotel's heated salt-water outdoor pool. Apparently, this is the only one of its kind in all of Vancouver and because there's no chlorine, it's much easier on your eyes (literally) and on the environment too. The high temps in Vancouver in the summer only average about 74 degrees in the months of July and August, which is a little chilly for us but fortunately, the terrace also has a jacuzzi to keep you warm.
