BT Bring FREE One Click WiFi Access to 36 UK glh. Hotels
Guests of UK hotels run by glh. (e.g. thistle, AMBA Hotels, CLERMONT, The Cumberland and LITE NITE), the London-based global hotel subsidiary of Singapore-listed GuocoLeisure Group, can now get free one-click access to wireless Internet connectivity thanks to a new deal with BT WiFi.
Apparently those who stay in the hotels won’t need to register for the service or suffer any usage limitations and as a result glh. has already become BT’s biggest user of free wifi access. Now that obviously calls for a slightly cheesy promotional video..
Mike DeNoma, CEO of glh. said:
“Investing in cutting edge BT technology to ensure that anyone visiting our hotels has access to free, fast, and one-click to connect Wi-Fi is a long-term investment in customer loyalty. Strong, unlimited Wi-Fi across our properties is what keeps our customers connected. Together with BT Wi-fi we have installed [2800] antennae across our hotel portfolio – a significant investment in providing a great service to all our customers.”
End.
