We are now able to offer our IHG Rewards Club members from around the world more than 5,000 luxury suites in Macao, an exciting global destination.”
Dr. Wilfred Wong, President of Sands China Ltd., said: “We are delighted to be expanding our strategic alliance with our long-term partner, IHG, not only for our existing portfolio of The Venetian Macao and The Parisian Macao, but also The Londoner Hotel when it opens. This valuable partnership further reinforces our commitment to Macao, and to providing outstanding customer experiences across our properties.”
To celebrate the partnership and reward IHG® Rewards Club members, IHG will launch a series of exclusive accommodation, dining and entertainment packages with The Venetian Macao and The Parisian Macao. Members can participate through theWeChat mini programme, and use points to bid on various packages.
InterContinental Alliance Resorts are aligned with the spirit of the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brand and complement IHG’s expanding luxury portfolio globally.
