Prestige: business travellers deserve only the best

In October 2013 Prestige hotel (Kursk) took part in the Business and Conference Hotel Attestation Program of the Russian Association of Business Travel and was successfully certified as a business hotel.

Prestige hotel is situated in the historic centre of the city, just in a few minutes’ walk away from the main square.

The main culture landmarks and business centres are in the hotel’s vicinity. Guests are offered 70 rooms of various categories: luxes, studios, standard superior rooms. The hotel observes European standards of equipment and meets all modern requirements. There is a safe, a mini bar, long-distance and international phone, satellite TV, an individual working desk, bathroom accessories, a hairdryer in the rooms.

The hotel offers a wide range of services to make any business trip successful and any event memorable. Business travellers are offered a spacious conference hall, modern multimedia and audiovisual equipment, wireless Internet, copy, scan and fax services. Additional services include transport, interpreters, advertisement, catering and excursions.

The hotel provides all the necessary conditions for a comfort and safe stay, effective work and a good rest. Business travellers will definitely appreciate punctual and professional staff and their services.

Prestige staff team believes that ABT certificate is another step in hotel development.

During the past two and a half years hotel staff has done great work to introduce service standards that meet Russian and world standards.

During this period Prestige staff team has managed to win trust and credibility of many guests and has established friendly and partner relations with various private and state organizations including Kursk city administration and regional authorities, Konti-Rus, Aeroflot, Sberbank, Elektroapparat, Metro Cash and Carry, Pharmstandard Leksredstva, etc. Active cooperation with international tour operators, travel agencies and online booking systems is under way.

From the first days of its existence Prestige hotel has been taking part in various specialized exhibitions: PIR-2012, Travel and Leisure 2012 and 2013, Kursk Korensk Fair 2012, 2013. The hotel took the premier place in the city 2011 Tour Industry Leader contest.

The business hotel status offers a number of benefits, and the competitive advantage first of all. There is an opportunity to claim yourself on a higher level, to attract the attention of companies choosing hotels to accommodate their employees.

Due to the increase in demand for Prestige hotel services (catering, accommodation, venues for events of various scales and levels, corporate meetings, conferences) hotel management has decided to broaden the hotel’s facilities significantly. Construction of a new building with an underground passage and an air bridge to the main building has been launched. There will be a modern conference hall, an underground parking, a banquet hall, an open swimming pool, a gym and a summer veranda.

Hotel staff admit that they plan to continue their work on the hotel’s positive image, maintain its high rank of reviews on the websites like Tripadvisor.com, Booking.com etc, thus proving that Prestige hotel holds rightful leading positions in Kursk hospitality industry. (prestigekursk.ru)

In order to receive the Certificate, the hotel should get not less than 75% of reference points. ABT Certificate is a great opportunity to make a name in the business travel market.
