Just had a rather crappy experience with Discover Australia – they advertised “Free Internet -Exclusive&# for the hotel we wanted to stay in, then after we booked (we sent a confirmation email with a question on the internet) said “Oh it’s just a FREE 1/2 HOUR&#. Next time I will book direct with the hotel and check FIRST that what they advertise “free internet&# doesn’t come with such ridiculous marketing spin.

Modern” hotel marketing today is probably best known from sites such as hotels.com, where the determining competitive power primarily is based on price and location, and where the hotels appear by ‘Best sellers’ that not necessarily represent the quality of service.

If you want to run an expensive national print ad campaign to make sure people think your hotel is all post-modern and zeitgeisty , then I guess this qualifies as killer graphic design.
