THINK OUTSIDE THE GIFT-BOX THIS SEASON WITH CREATIVE VACATION PACKAGES FROM KOR HOTEL GROUP

Over-the-top holiday indulgence available at Maison 140 in Beverly Hills, Tides in South Beach and Chamberlain in West Hollywood

September 2005 (Los Angeles) Good things don't only come in small packages. Surprise them this year with an atypical gift from Kor Hotel Group - travel and amity wrapped in a ribbon of revelry. Unique variations on holiday hotel stays invite guests to claim Maison 140's entire property for family and friends; savor the best-of-the-very-best with Tides' extravagant Terra Nova Rooftop Suite; or surprise family with an extended seven-night stay in Chamberlain's home-away-from-home leisure elegance. Each package incorporates additional festive features to make them a holiday celebration for the photo albums.

Kor's distinctive packages will also help you spread good cheer to less fortunate others during these challenging times. Kor Hotel Group will donate 10% of the packages' room sales to Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation and its Operation Send-A-Smile, which delivers gifts, including books, toys and art materials, to brighten the hearts of children affected by Hurricane Katrina.
