Radisson Offers Complimentary Internet Access
NOVEMBER 15, 2005. Radisson has announced that on Jan. 1, 2006, it will begin offering complimentary high- speed Internet access in the guestrooms at its properties in the Americas.
Radisson is among the first upscale hotel brands to provide the service as a complimentary in-room amenity to all guests. There is no program to join to obtain connectivity, and, depending upon the technological infrastructure of individual properties, Internet access is offered either hard-wired or wireless.
"High-speed Internet access is no longer a novelty in hotel guestrooms," said Bjorn Gullaksen, executive vice president and brand leader, Radisson Hotels & Resorts. "It is among the most important amenities our guests have come to expect. While our hotels have provided high-speed connectivity for several years, we believe supplying it free of charge in guestrooms will add to our guests' overall experience, and give them more control over their stay."
Gullaksen added that the Internet service complements another Radisson amenity - the ability for guests to print securely from their Internet-enabled device. "With our printing service, guests enter a security code to retrieve documents at the hotel's printing station, or choose the convenience of having documents delivered to their room. Bundling complimentary guestroom connectivity with our printing service creates a virtual office environment in which guests can opt to be as productive when they travel as they are in their offices or homes."
