Radisson free up US access

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.”
