Wharf Hotels Organises ‘Inspiring, Curated, Luxurious’ Themed Event

Wharf Hotels

Corporate news, 20 May 2025
Hospitality group Wharf Hotels recently hosted an event, bringing together its roster of hotel Directors of Communications to showcase the group’s premium, lifestyle and luxury hotels across three distinct brands —  Marco Polo Hotels, Maqo and Niccolo Hotels — to more than 40 China mainstream lifestyle and travel media, and key opinion leaders at the contemporary Niccolo Chengdu, the first Niccolo Hotels branded property to open in Mainland China.

Holger Jakobs, Vice President Sales and Marketing commented: “The event demonstrates our approach to creating synergistic benefits for our hotels, and facilitating the opportunity for our hotel Directors of Communications to network and open exchanges with influential media and key opinion leaders.  I’m especially excited to see how the event has been beneficial in bolstering cooperation and connections to build stronger future relationships”.

During the event, the hotel communicators hailing from Beijing, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Suzhou, Wuhan and Xiamen shared myriad hotel experiences and opportunities to discover the hotel destinations of Wharf Hotels.  Additionally, a collection of prizes ranging from a one night to two-night stay with breakfast at each hotel participating hotel, were included in the lucky draw sessions.

To add to the occasion, and with the objective of featuring the hotels’ award-winning GHA DISCOVERY loyalty programme — including its benefits, rewards and convenience of earning DISCOVERY Dollars on stay, room upgrades, late check-out, dining, spa treatments and other indulgences — three Platinum tier memberships and three Titanium tier memberships of the GHA DISCOVERY programme were added to the lucky draw and presented to six media and KOLs.  Each of the six Platinum and Titanium tier memberships included a credit of up to 500 DISCOVERY Dollars, equivalent to USD 500, which can be redeemed at any of the 850+ member hotels in the global loyalty programme.
