After two years, one exclusive Visa Partnership and $3.5 million dollars in development, Kiwi Collection has launched their brand-new website.  A curated collection of the best hotels of the world, the site features over 2100 hotels in 124 countries. Their exclusive, personal relationships with hoteliers allow them to pass benefits on to customers in the form of a best rate guarantee, special Kiwi rates and free VIP perks. Think valet parking, champagne, room upgrades, and so on.

The completed website will boast highly advanced search features, and a proprietary ranking system that is constantly updated by a team of industry experts. This system judges hotels on areas ranging from quality of dining and interior design, to the overall check-in experience and value for money.

Could this revolutionize the travel industry’s ranking system? Forbes seems to think so, “Kiwi Collection is to luxury hotels what the Michelin guide is to restaurants”, an invite only collection of only the best hotels of the world.”

Through their online magazine, WOW Travel and blog, Kiwi Collection will also be highlighting lifestyle, cultural and travel experiences to keep jetsetters in the ‘know’. As a launch promotion, when you make a booking before May 31 they will give you the beautiful hardcover book Overnight Sensations - The Americas (retail value: $100) when you enter promo code “KIWINEWSITE”.
