How much do you want for that bed?
GraysEscape.com has been revealed as the name of new offer-based hotel reservation website to be launched next week by Australia’s largest online auction house, GraysOnline.
The site succeeds the Ubid4rooms.com website that GraysOnline purchased earlier this year.
GraysEscape.com will allow people who visit GraysOnline.com to purchase accommodation by making an offer to a hotel, with the hotelier accepting or bargaining with the customer for another rate within three hours.
General manager of the new travel unit at GraysOnline, Gary Berman – who launched Ubid4Rooms.com – said he was excited to see his vision for a rate bargaining website for the hotel industry mature into the "big league".
GraysEscape.com will differ from GraysOnline’s auction model as it will allow customers to make offers directly to hotels, with no competitive bidding.
Berman said the system would allow hotels to offer guests lower-than-advertised rates on a confidential, one-on-one basis without the agreed rates going public or affecting brand integrity.
Accommodation providers keen to list with GraysEscape can call Gary Berman on 02 4365 1007 or 0410 458 166 or email [email protected]
