An Irish-owned travel and gifting platform has launched, with the site promising hassle-free and instant access to gift vouchers that are redeemable at top hotels and spas in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Hotel & Spa Resorts can be used for stays, spa treatments, dining or golf, and recipients can choose from a list of invite-only premium venues. Among the hotels featured are Cliff House Hotel in Co Waterford, the newly-opened Leinster in Dublin, Finn Lough in Northern Ireland, Cliff at Lyons in Co Kildare, Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort in Co Wicklow and Glasson Lakehouse in Co Westmeath.
Hotel & Spa Resorts founder Adrienne Stewart has 15 years’ experience in the spa and wellness industry. She runs Rainforest Spa and Powerscourt Springs Health Farm in Co Wicklow.
“We have all faced the dilemma of what to buy the person who has everything,” she said. “To solve this, I set out to create a platform that blends elegance with convenience. Hotel & Spa Resorts offers a seamless gifting experience, allowing customers to purchase a gift card in under a minute. As global trends shift towards valuing experiences over material items, Hotel & Spa Resorts is simplifying the way people give the gift of unforgettable moments.”
The platform is also a low-risk, high-reward marketing tool that helps hotels and spas stand out in a crowded, traditional market, noted Stewart.
“Combining industry expertise with a modern, social media-driven approach, it offers an easy way to attract new customers without heavy financial investment. Hotels gain exposure to a new audience with low upfront costs, a very attractive 0% commission on direct bookings and only a small fee on redeemed vouchers.
“We give hotels a no-risk, high-reward opportunity to boost their digital presence. Our social media storytelling helps our members capture the attention of a modern audience looking for convenience, flexibility and a fresh, stylish experience.”
