Das Hotelmanagement wünscht Ihnen


Explanation:
einen angenehmen Aufenthalt.

Damit hat man auch den courtesy Teil drin, es sei denn, es handelt sich tatsächlich um einen Elefanten auf dem Kopfkissen. Dann müßte man umformulieren:

Bitte benutzen Sie unser kostenloses Angebot. Wir wünschen Ihnen einen angenehmen Aufenthalt.

disagree  Ivo Lang: "Courtesy of" is a "set phrase" and should not be translated literally.
8 mins
agree  Sándor Sárecz: whenever I stayed in a hotel the phrase "courtesy of", whether a set phrase or not was always linked to a free gift or service of the hotel,
15 mins
agree  Klaus Herrmann: That's exactly why I asked for context. I think the disagree is premature as this translation is a perfectly valid option.
22 mins
agree  Nicole Tata: "courtesy of the hotel' simply means 'provided free of charge' and could easily refer to a gift.
23 mins
agree  Martin Schmurr: Aufmerksamkeit is excellent, but the 2nd part is rendered more politely by Steffen's "Wir wünschen Ihnen einen angenehmen Aufenthalt"

Explanation:
Gebe zu, dass dies (fast) das gleiche Lösung wie die von Edith ist. Ich würde jedoch den deutschen Ausdruck "Leitung" für "Management" vorziehen. Wir müssen doch noch ein bisschen (sprachlichen)Stolz bewahren, gell!?
