Area Daily launches website

July 11, 2008 - PRLog -- Area Daily, the stylish daily travel email, launches a web site (www.area-daily.com) giving fashionable travelers everything they need for modern travel.

The Area team of local travel experts ensures that no secret, international travel find goes amiss.  Area puts new meaning into traveling in style with recommendations on the best hotels, most innovative restaurants, stylish shops, cool events and must-have services in sensational cities and hideaways from Buenos Aires to Beijing.

Created specifically for an audience of upscale, urban professionals, Area recommendations are based on architecture, design, style, originality, and quality in everything from food and wine to environment.  These are not the touristy places that the big guide books tell you to go to, but the memorable and original places that capture the essence of a city.  

In addition to the free daily email, users can browse content for inspiration and recommendations, book hotels and customized trips, get special discounts and deals, and share travel experiences by uploading their favorite travel stories and videos.  Next up… Area Guides, digital and downloadable insider guides to cities and destinations around the world.  The first guide to Sonoma/Napa Valley, California will launch later this summer.    

In conjunction with Design Hotels, Area-Daily.com is running a Travel Video Contest where readers submit videos of their most interesting travel experiences and adventures, hidden discoveries, and memorable places and things to see and do around the globe.  The winning video wins a free two-night stay at Hotel Healdsburg in California Wine Country or London’s iconic Metropolitan on Park Lane.  Contest runs through 8/31/2008.
