As part of the brand's newest guestroom innovation, this popular extended stay hotel has been updated to meet the needs of a growing segment of long term stay hotel travelers who want to settle in and maintain their routines while on the road. The changes have included a completely redesigned lobby and interaction space, upgrades to every room and an exciting exterior color scheme.  Each suite offers travelers a truly functional and effective work area so that they can be successful on the road, while also getting a great night's sleep. Adding that "it's the little touches which make a difference," General Manager Tony Sherwood states, "Every room is a suite with functional space for living and working. The 'Home Office' is innovatively designed offering guests the ability to spread out with plenty of flexible space and storage to make it their own."]]></description></item><item><title>Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. to Present at Pacific Crest Forum on August 5</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.yachtchartersmagazine.com/read/618068.htm</guid><link>http://www.yachtchartersmagazine.com/read/618068.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:31:00 EST</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Orbitz Worldwide, Inc.  will present at the Pacific Crest Technology Leadership Forum in Vail, Colorado, on Tuesday, August 5, 2008.
