Harley-Davidson enthusiasts can hit the road with a new destination in mind, with Best Western and Harley-Davidson Motor Company announcing a new range of rider friendly accommodation benefits at over 75 participating hotels.
When staying at one of the 67 participating Best Western properties in Australia or nine in New Zealand, guests will be able to park their Harley onsite and access complimentary wipe-down towels and a washing station.
Some hotels offer extra benefits such as reserved parking spaces and secure underground parking.
“We know it can be challenging for riders to find a hotel where they can park and clean their motorcycles after a long ride. We’re pleased to now offer these onsite maintenance facilities with extra stay benefits upon upgrading to our Best Western Rewards Platinum tier” said Steve Richards, Best Western Australasia’s sales and marketing manager.
As part of the perks, Harley Owners Group (HOG) members who sign up to Best Western’s global loyalty program will automatically be upgraded to Platinum rewards status, which includes 10 percent bonus points on each stay, a welcome gift on arrival, complimentary room upgrades, early check-in and late check-out when available, plus HOG members will also receive an extra 10 percent discount on their accommodation.
These added rewards are set to be welcomed by Harley riders, who clock up more than 15,000 kilometres each year, according to Kim Williams, Harley-Davidson Australia’s customer experience manager.
“Harley Owners Group members are hard workers by day and adventure seekers on the weekends. There’s no way to describe the feeling of freedom when you’re riding at up to 100kms on a motorcycle, and unfortunately, it takes away from the thrill when you’re struggling to find a hotel that will let you clean up and rest your bike at the end of the day” said Williams.
“Harley-Davidson has a strong partnership with Best Western, and together we’ve come up with the perfect solution to give our members the on the road service they need to travel freely. As our partnership evolves, we hope to find new ways to take our members to some of Australia and New Zealand’s most beautiful destinations” said Williams.
