Premier Monterey Hotel Launches Industry Leading Website MONTEREY, Calif., Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Effective today, the Portola Plaza Hotel launched a new and robust website, designed to offer guests the ultimate web experience. The new site, http://www.portolaplazahotel.com/, not only sports a new, sophisticated look, it is designed to provide all the information a potential guest might want when choosing a hotel or destination. Interactive meeting diagrams, digital media library, up-to-the-minute weather, instant response to guest requests and an exhaustive calendar of events for the Monterey Peninsula are just some of the services offered on the new site.

"We are very excited to partner with an innovative design company like Blue Square Studios, who understands not only what our clients want but what we need," said Portola Plaza Hotel General Manager, Robert DeVoe. "Our new site offers so much more than the typical hotel website." The hotel has recently completed a renovation of all its 380 guest rooms, the lobby and Jacks, the sophisticated lobby lounge, at an overall cost of nearly $7 million. The next step in the Portola Plaza Hotel improvement program is a $1 million renovation of the hotel's restaurant scheduled for completion in April 2005. "Finding a way to showcase the hotel and our exciting changes is important to our success and the new website makes it possible to effectively reach our target audience. This addition is just another step taken to ensure the ultimate in guest satisfaction," said DeVoe.
