Singapore, June 2013 – Responding to the need of today’s
traveller to stay connected at all times, award-winning Asian
hospitality group Meritus Hotels & Resorts announced the roll-out
of free Wi-Fi service across the Group’s properties in Singapore,
Malaysia, Indonesia, and China.
Guests
can expect to enjoy straightforward access to the complimentary
amenity throughout their stay, not only from the guestrooms but from
anywhere within the hotels’ premises.
The
service allows every guest sufficient bandwidth to exchange data
across virtual private networks and social media channels, as well as
download and upload reasonably-sized files, including rich media
formats. For heavy bandwidth users looking to stream high-definition
videos or download movies, a premium bandwidth package is available
at competitive rates.
Guests
carrying multiple devices can enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi access for up
to three devices.
“Free
and efficient Wi-Fi connectivity has become an increasingly important
benchmark for hotel end users,” said Maria Taylor, Meritus Hotels &
Resorts Regional Vice President, Revenue. “By offering this
value-add and adopting it as a brand standard, we ensure that we are
meeting the ever evolving needs of our guests and remaining at the
forefront of a highly competitive industry.”
Meritus
Hotels & Resorts have been making headways in hospitality through
product and service innovations aimed at enhancing the overall
experience of guests. In 2012, its flagship Mandarin Orchard
Singapore became the first hotel in Singapore to offer a “second
screen” mobile device solution for an advanced in-room technology
that connects guests to a host of conveniences and services at the
touch of a button, from anywhere within the hotel.
The
Group was also recently named Most Admired Enterprise in
the Innovation category at the ASEAN Business Awards held in Phnom
Penh, Cambodia, in conjunction with the ASEAN Leaders Summit.
