Two Parisian Warwick International Hotels Now Offer Free Wireless to Their Guests

February 15, 2012 - The Warwick Champs-Elysées Hotel and Westminster Hotel, in the Opera District, have improved the quality of the wireless technology they offer. With the expertise of their partner company iBAHN, the worldwide leader in Internet solutions for digital entertainment sectors of hospitality and professional events, the two hotels provide their customers with the opportunity to select the level of service desired.

Each hotel now has fiber optic bandwidth which allows the software, provided by iBAHN, to regulate according to use. If and when necessary, for meetings or special events, iBAHN works with the hotels to offer the opportunity for those clients needing a heavy load to subscribe at a reasonable rate.

Several formulas have been designed to fit the needs of all whether they be in the common areas or in guest and meeting rooms.

  • The Free Offer includes the ability to browse the web, chat and access all social media.
  • The Premium Offer, provided at a charge, delivers a very high speed performance allowing for the downloading and playing of videos in the rooms and seminar rooms.

Ulla Schneider, Senior Vice President of Warwick International Hotels Group, said: "Our goal is to achieve 100% satisfaction for our Internet services for the duration of stay of our clients, whether under the sign of business or leisure. For that, we went to iBAHN, a company recognized as the most reliable."

Sustainability is now a daily topic that affects every facet of hotel development and operations.

As much as they could work in harmony, these goals sometimes work against each other". In the June Hotel Business Review, some of the industry's most recognized sustainable development experts come together to identify emerging trends and discuss how sustainability is currently affecting the hotel industry. Each author presents the most important aspects of sustainable development of much interest to hotel owners, operators, investors and developers.
