Phuket, Thailand, July 02, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket, part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts’ Luxury Collection portfolio has just launched two new signature services that will allow guests the luxury of traveling luggage free and having access to a world of newspapers and publications at their fingertips. Through these newly launched partnerships with industry leaders, Luggage Forward and NewspaperDirect, The Luxury Collection including Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket has created two new guest services that offer an unrivaled level of travel experiences tailored to its sophisticated global explorers.

“Offering exceptional levels of service, a perfect location and indigenous personal offerings is our primary aim, ensuring our guests enjoy The Luxury Collection experience,” comments Jan Kirstein, General Manager, Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket. “We are proud to be part of Luxury Collection’s first global partnerships in our continued effort to offer our guests a portal to the world’s most enriching experiences.”

The Luxury Collection Launches Luxury Collection Luggage Liaison

The Luxury Collection proudly launches an exclusive global hotel partnership with Luggage Forward, the cornerstone of the brand’s newest signature service, Luxury Collection Luggage Liaison(sm). With Luggage Liaison, guests of Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket can travel without luggage to the resort, with the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their belongings will be waiting for them in their room upon arrival. As part of the program, guest’s baggage will be retrieved by Luggage Forward’s door-to-door luggage delivery service prior to departure and sent to the resort to be placed in the room and unpacked before the guest arrives, upon request. The service will allow guests to avoid carrying bags to and from the airport, bypass long check-in lines or the wait at baggage claim, eliminate the worry about lost luggage or having to pay luggage weight overage fees on flights. Guests of Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket may use Luggage Liaison again for their return trip by simply packing their bags and letting the resort’s concierge do the rest, including delivery of any purchases made during the trip. As the exclusive hotel partner of Luggage Forward, Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket offers exceptional pricing available only to its guests for door to door luggage delivery and the service is available when arranged two or more days in advance.

“Luggage Forward has fundamentally changed the travel experience by providing a global luggage delivery service that offers convenience, service and unparalleled reliability by circumventing the airline process”, said Aaron Kirley Co-Founder of Luggage Forward. “We are pleased to be working with a brand as respected as The Luxury Collection that has taken the innovative step of adding Luggage Forward as one of the brand’s first global partners.”
