Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG), the award-winning loyalty programme from Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. is offering its members up to 30 per cent savings at top food and beverage outlets across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, and Lebanon. Each outlet has designed a customised offer based on the tastes and preferences of its valued customers and will modify it monthly based on customer feedback. This initiative follows the successful launch of SPG Restaurants and Bars website earlier this year and embodies the global hospitality major’s vision to redefine its customer friendliness.

In addition to savings, SPG members will also enjoy themed monthly promotions at participating food and beverage outlets. SPG Gold and Platinum members at some outlets may enjoy perks such as complimentary beverages and desserts or free tickets to hotel events. At others, families who dine together may receive free desserts for kids or 4 for the price of 3 dining offers. December is the ideal time for SPG members to take advantage of promotions such as savings on festive orders of turkey patisseries.

Aside from discounts at participating restaurants and bars, SPG members can continue to earn Starpoints when they dine at these outlets. They now have the opportunity to explore new restaurants and bars nearer home, or discover new venues while travelling.

Steven Taylor, Vice President, Marketing, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Europe, Middle East and Africa said, “SPG is the first global hotel loyalty programme to offer customers such significant location-specific food and beverage benefits. It reinforces our commitment to provide unparalleled access to culinary, music, sports and arts experiences to loyal members. SPG continues to be the leader in hospitality loyalty, offering members one-of-a-kind benefits such as 24-hour check-in, one-to-one Starwood Ambassador Service and lifetime membership status.”
