How it works
aRes Travel will create a customized and branded booking link to be placed on the event website once your block has filled or the cut-off happens, giving attendees access to book live hotel inventory, online and by phone. We track the bookings and give you visibility into all transactional information, including pickup and rooming list reports. We collect commissions from consumed bookings and share the revenue with you. No cost to you and no minimums to be met.

See what some of our group affiliates have to say about our group services
"Our partnership with aRes enables us to say “yes!” to our clients’ attendees when the contracted room block is sold out or after the cut-off date. Using aRes, Orchid has tracked thousands of additional room nights for our customers over the last few years. The set-up is always quick and easy, and the customer service we receive from aRes is exceptional! We know, without a doubt that we can rely on Devian and the aRes team for prompt and excellent customer service."

"We saw an area of opportunity to increase service for our clients and aRes made that possible for us! The prompt turn around time for every request we have, is truly wonderful. We can always count on aRes to deliver as expected and appreciate their partnership and hard work they put forth for us, on every task!"
Jessica WolfConferenceDirect, Associate Director
Housing Services
"aRes Travel has proven year after year to be a great partner on our events. We add aRes Travel as an overflow booking option once our group rates sell out. At cut off, all new reservations can continue to book rooms up until check-in via the custom-branded link. This is a great option for our attendees, and our events receive credit and revenue for the rooms. The pick-up reports keep us well informed of our bookings, and the aRes customer service has been spot on with their customer service and attentiveness to our events. Highly recommend."

"For more than three years, the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show has worked with aRes Travel to customize hotel packages for our more than 250,000 annual guests. From design to implementation, working with the team at aRes Travel has been an unparalleled experience. Seamless online integration with our package partners and beyond has increased the number of bookings and elevated our offerings to our collective guests. Knowing that I am a true partner of aRes Travel rather than simply a client is a great comfort to me and their understanding of the hospitality and hotel industry is second to none."
