If you are considering planning a program at a hotel or resort with AAA Five-Diamond or Forbes (Mobil) Five-Star quality levels, you may wish to make your first call to Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI), as its portfolio now features 26 “Level 5” options with its newest addition, the AAA Five-Diamond The Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in Northeast Florida. With their ALHI membership acceptance, the oceanfront resort will now receive dedicated National Sales Organization (NSO) services and support by ALHI and its established professional sales force throughout North America to serve the meetings and incentive marketplace.
In addition to becoming the newest offering in the “ALHI Level 5 Collection” specialty segment, which features ALHI’s member hotels and resorts that have earned the industry’s highest and most celebrated honors, The Ponte Vedra Inn & Club becomes ALHI’s second member hotel in Northeast Florida, joining the elegant 193-room One Ocean Resort Hotel & Spa on pristine Atlantic Beach. Both are served by Jacksonville International Airport. The acclaimed Ponte Vedra Inn & Club also becomes ALHI’s 17th hotel in Florida, as well as the newest member featured in ALHI’s “Beach & Island Collection,” and the “Historic Collection” specialty segments, and in the “Golf Collection” with its famed golf options.
