AmeriSuites, AAU Ink Agreement

FAIRFIELD, NJ— Prime Hospitality Corp. and the Amateur Athletic Union, one of the largest, non-profit volunteer sports organizations in the United States, have inked a three-year agreement for AmeriSuites hotels to be the official hotel of the AAU. The AAU will receive a monetary contribution, value-in-kind, and discount lodging all year. In exchange, AmeriSuites will receive exposure in AAU publications and opportunities for AAU bookings at its hotels. “AmeriSuites is pleased to partner with AAU, its sports teams and their families,” said Denny Hill, AmeriSuites svp/operations. “AAU provides a thriving environment for kids to learn the values of sportsmanship and competition. But traveling can be stressful, particularly on kids. As AAUs official lodging choice, AmeriSuites hotels offers all the comforts of home, from oversized suites and our complimentary Bountiful Breakfast Buffet, to fitness centers and pools, so every team can do its best.” “This is an outstanding opportunity for the AAU,” said AAU president and executive director, Bobby Dodd. “Not only do the teams and members benefit from special room rates during their competitive travel, but this agreement allows for preferred treatment for AAU members throughout the year. While establishing this relationship, we found that many of our participants already stay at and prefer AmeriSuites hotels.” Divided into 58 associations, the AAU sanctions more than 34 sports programs, 250 national championships, and over 10,000 local events across the United States annually.
