Stay and play for longer at Art Series Hotels this winter with the return of The World’s Latest Checkout

Hate having to check out of your hotel room early with nowhere to go?   From July 16 until September 19, 2018, Art Series Hotels will offer guests the chance to stay for free – as long as no one else has booked their room.   Now forming part of Mantra Hotels, Art Series is bringing back its hugely popular World’s Latest Checkout to encourage guests to overstay their booking.   A world-first when offered in 2012, the initiative all depends on how full the hotel is for the night ahead or when the next guest checks in.   Whether it’s to stay curled up in an Art Series Signature bed, to enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the adjoining restaurants or a pampering spa experience, guests can call reception between 8am and 10am to request changing their check out time to 1pm, 3pm, early evening, or even the next day.   If no one is booked into the room, guests can make the most of their getaway and continue to enjoy the art inspired surroundings for longer. And it doesn’t stop there, they can keep trying their luck each morning until the next guest checks in.   Mantra Group’s Executive Director of Sales, Marketing, Revenue and Distribution Luke Moran said:   “The World’s Latest Checkout will run at all seven Art Series Hotels for the next three months.  We are thrilled once again to be delivering this innovative and unique concept to market.”   Participating properties are located in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland and include: The Olsen, South Yarra; The Blackman, St Kilda Rd Melbourne; The Cullen, Prahran; The Larwill, Parkville; The Chen, Box Hill; The Johnson, Brisbane and The Watson, Adelaide.   To book or for more details, head to: http://www.artserieshotels.com.au/overstay-checkout/   – ENDS – About Art Series Hotels
