NEW YORK— Thistle Hotels is the newest member of HotelRooms.com, a commission-free online hotel directory. Thistle Hotels is a full-service hotel company based in the United Kingdom, with 56 hotels, including 24 around London. Commenting on the move, Thistle Hotels director of distribution Euan Mitchell noted,“We wanted an easy, affordable way to reach more guests worldwide.” HotelRooms.com president/CEO Avi Goldstein added “We are so pleased they have joined our growing list of international hotel partners.” Thousands of hotel Web pages are in the HotelRooms.com system, and travelers do not have to create a member profile or enter personal information just to search for rooms. Instead, future guests are linked directly to a hotel’s Web site (or to a booking engine for some nonmember hotels). More than 30 hotel companies are members and revenue comes from subscription-based memberships and other programs.
