Bethesda, MD, 2017-Aug-01 — /Travel PR News/ — Moxy Hotels, Marriott International’s bold new experiential brand, has been recognized by LE Miami’s Rebels Awards for creating 2017’s Most Original Campaign. The prestigious award recognizes hotel companies with extraordinary marketing that offers a fresh approach to connecting with travelers and takes a brand to the next level, from online content destinations to clever social media campaigns or an innovative series of events.
“We are thrilled to accept this award by LE Miami on behalf of Marriott International’s bold experiential brand, Moxy Hotels,” said Vicki Poulos, Senior Global Brand Director, Moxy Hotels. “At Moxy, we appeal to our target guests through creating fun and relevant experiences, our activation at Coachella allowed us to bring the fun directly to our target consumer.”
Marriott International brought an ‘industry first’ to loyalty members through an immersive experience at Coachella, transforming eight Safari tents on festival campgrounds into ‘hotel rooms’ for influencers and Marriott Rewards members to sleep in. Each tent was designed to embody the ethos of Marriott’s lifestyle brands, which in addition to Moxy Hotels included: AC Hotels by Marriott, Aloft Hotels, Westin, Le Méridien, Renaissance Hotels, Autograph Collection Hotels and Tribute Portfolio. The campground included an on-site concierge and a relaxing outdoor area.
Moxy’s Safari tent offered a sneak peek of the Moxy NYC Times Square Hotel, which opens in September 2017. The tent was outfitted in the décor and custom furnishings reflective of Moxy NYC Times Square’s playful and flexible bedrooms, designed by the award-winning interior design firm Yabu Pushelberg. Moxy aligned with YouTuber Amy Pham to stay and document the ultimate festival glamping experience.
Moxy Hotels fully embraces today’s fun-hunting traveler with smartly designed tech-enabled rooms featuring motion sensor lighting; internet TV in-room featuring Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Pandora and Crackle; selfie photo booth elevators; Moxy Digital Guestbook; abundant power and USB outlets; furiously fast and free Wi-Fi for ultimate connectivity; and Moxy ‘B&F’ (beverage & food) strategy that offers 24/7 self-service to give guests access to what they want, when they want it.
Moxy Hotels first launched in Milan in September 2014. Moxy currently operates 10 hotels in Berlin, Frankfurt, Milan, Munich, New Orleans, the UK, Vienna, and Tempe.
