Press Release Body: Embassy Suites Hotels have announced its nationwide search for the best Do Not Disturb door hanger designs to be used in all of its nearly 190 upscale, all-suite hotels. During September and October 2007, a panel of Embassy Suites judges will choose the cleverest design/copy submitted and pick five winners who will all win a trip to a select Embassy Suites Hotels, plus have their signs hung on hotel door knobs around the country.

Known for its own variation on the Do Not Disturb sign - “There’s a Good Reason for You NOT to Knock Right Now” - Embassy Suites (http://www.embassysuites.com/) challenges guests to up the ante on the fun. “Embassy Suites is all about giving consumers choice and control over their business or leisure travel,” said John Lee, Vice President of Brand Marketing. “We’ve gotten such a tremendous response to our Do Not Disturb sign that we thought it would be fun to give consumers some control over what their door sign says. We imagine there are many creative ways our guests would like to say ‘do not disturb me right now’.”

Until the end of October 2007, people can enter the Embassy Suites Hotels Do Not Disturb contest (http://www.embassysuitesdndcontest.com/) at embassysuites.com and create a unique and catchy slogan for their very own Do Not Disturb, and customizing it by choosing from a number of online designs, images and templates provided by Embassy Suites Hotels (http://www.embassysuites.com/).
