BEVERLY HILLS, CA, August 23, 2005. Doubletree Hotels today proudly announced that more than 40,000 guestrooms and more than two million square feet of meeting space across its collection of more than 150 upscale, full-service hotels in North America now offer high speed Internet access to guests. As a result, the brand introduced its new Doubletree Take Five TechnologyTM Solution - a comprehensive set of technology services for today's business and leisure travelers.

"Doubletree understands how crucial it is for business travelers to have the right mix of technology services available on the road that empower them to be productive and successful," said Dave Horton, senior vice president - brand management for Doubletree. "The launch of our Take Five Technology Solution, which is just one part of the more than $375 million of product and service enhancements currently underway at our hotels, demonstrates the collective commitment by our brand team and hotel owners to reward today's Doubletree guests with a newly refreshed hotel experience that ultimately provides road warriors with the true care and comfort they deserve."

The Take Five Technology Solution consists of the following:

1. High-Speed Internet Access In Guest Rooms1 - All Doubletree hotels now offer either a wired or wireless high speed Internet connection in guestrooms. Just as important, the service is backed by a 24-hour, toll-free customer support line.

2. High-Speed Internet Access In Meeting Rooms1 - During any meeting, seminar or workshop, no presenter has time to track down an elusive or non-existent Internet connection. With a convention services and technology team at each hotel that is dedicated to ensure your meeting is a success, meeting attendees can easily plug in their laptops and get down to business at-hand.

3. Wi-Fi In Hotel Public Areas - Hotel guests also can enjoy the conveniences of wireless high-speed Internet access in hotel lobbies, lounges, restaurants and public areas for guest use2. Signage designates zones where guests can connect their mobile devices - including wireless LAN-capable laptop computers, tablet PCs and PDAs that operate on Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, Unix and Linux operating systems.

4. 24-Hour Remote Guest Printing Services - The remote, guest printing service now available in all Doubletree guestrooms makes it convenient for guests to print 24-hours-a-day from their guest room to a central printing resource in the hotel's business center or at the front desk without special cables, drivers or technical support. To use the hotel guest printing service, guests simply connect to their in-room high-speed Internet service and use their Web browser to visit the hotel's printing Web site.

5. MP3 Connectivity To Guestroom Stereo Speakers - Business doesn't always have to be ... well, all business. Even the most efficient working traveler likes to break up the monotonous sound of work with their favorite "mobile music." With the new Hilton Family alarm clock available at every Doubletree, guests can simply plug in their portable music device - MP3 player or CD player - and allow the stereo speakers to fill the room with their favorite music.

To round out the technology and service offerings, guestroom enhancements at Doubletree include spacious work desks, comfortable chairs, task lighting and power/communications outlets at desk height to ensure guests can be as productive as possible where it's needed most.
