With Magenta Status, you get to check in and feel like a VIP guest all stay long. Sure, you're already sold on the discounted digs, but did you know you can get sweet spa deals, too?

Social media is buzzing, and your group chat is blowing up your phone. Why? Because that artist you’ve been waiting to see all year just dropped summer tour tickets! Exciting! But the best part is, for you, this won’t be just any concert experience.
