IC Local, the Independent Collection’s perks program, turns two on July 1 and has just added four new hotels and new member perks for all new and existing members. The Discover Summer Sweepstakes launches on July 1.

IC Local, the Independent Collection’s perks program, celebrates its second anniversary on July 1, 2017 and, on the precipice of that milestone, have added four new hotels to their program— raising the number of hotels to ten, adding additional perks for new and existing members, and will launch the Discover Summer Sweepstakes on July 1, where members can win a two-night stay at any IC Local member hotel in celebration of the program’s second Anniversary.

“Since launch, the program has grown from 2,400 members at the launch of the program to over 20,000 members and revenue has grown from 2% to over 15% of total revenue. With more hotels being added to the program, even more growth is on the horizon,” said HHM Independent Hotel Portfolio Corporate Director Erin Fitzharris. “As we created the program completely on our own, IC Local has been a great learning experience and now success story for us.”

Beginning on June 15, 2017, IC Local members can now enjoy a local welcome gift upon arrival while able to earn and redeem points for stays at the following Independent Collection hotels:

The Ambrose Hotel, Santa Monica, CA
Freepoint Hotel, Cambridge, MA
Parrot Key Resort, Key West, FL
The St. Gregory Hotel, Washington D.C.

IC Local members will be able to take advantage of new perks from Independent Collections partners including:

Harry's Shave Kits: 20% off first purchase from Harrys.com
La Colombe Coffee Roasters: 15% off first purchase on Lacolombe.com
L'Occitane en Provence: 15% off first purchase on loccitane.com

Starting July 1, all IC Local members will be entered to win a two night stay at any participating IC hotel when they stay at any IC Local member hotel this summer from July 1 - September 4, 2017 as part of the Discover Summer Sweepstakes. One lucky winner will win a two-night stay and VIP amenities from IC Local partners. Grand Prize winner will be announced on September 15, 2017. 

Celebrating travel, the uniqueness of independent hotels and the sense of discovery that comes with finding that great neighborhood spot, IC Local (iclocalrewards.com) is a points-based perks program that rewards members with a local welcome gift personalized to their preferences during every single stay. Points can be redeemed for credit to use toward room nights or merchandise from select partners of the Independent Collection. There are no blackout dates or restrictions on redemptions.

In addition to these program enhancements, IC Local has also made signing up a little easier for potential members. Now, in order to sign-up, only first name, last name and email address are required. In order to get personalized amenities though, one of the program’s top perks, it’s recommended that members provide the platform with more detailed information.
