Have you ever dreamed of being showered with diamonds?
If so, you probably figured the bling would come courtesy of your sweetheart, not a chain hotel. But that’s exactly where you can win a whole lot of sparkle beginning September 28th.
Holiday Inn locations in the United Kingdom are celebrating their 60th anniversary by placing real diamonds worth nearly $40,000 under select guests’ pillows.
The diamonds will be left in hotel rooms throughout Europe, including Spain, Germany, France, Turkey, Belgium and the Netherlands. What’s more, you don’t have to stay more than one night in order to win. As added incentive, Holiday Inn is providing customers with digital and mobile clues as to where the diamonds are located, in order to generate social media buzz.
If you are one of the lucky guests, you will find a diamond weighing more than one carat under your pillow.
Talk about sweet dreams.
