Rezidor SAS Hospitality Announces Free Broadband Service in all Radisson SAS Hotels

With Free Broadband, Radisson SAS steps ahead of its competition and offers yet another service to ensure total customer satisfaction.

Brussels, Belgium – Radisson SAS Hotels & Resorts, the first class hotel brand of Rezidor SAS Hospitality has announced that Free Broadband is now one of its service offerings. Radisson SAS is the first international hotel chain to offer Free Broadband—as part of its E@syConnect service concept—across hotels in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Free Broadband service comes with easy-to-follow instructions. The service includes high-speed as well as wireless Internet access. Since most Radisson SAS hotels are wired, all hotel guests can access the Internet from anywhere in the hotel: rooms, meeting facilities or public areas, by using their name and room number.

“Once again, Rezidor SAS has proven that it is a step ahead of the competition and has cemented the reputation of Radisson SAS as a full service hotel chain,” says Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor SAS Hospitality. “Free Broadband as a service is what guests want from hotels today. This service underscores the commitment Rezidor SAS has made to continue to meet the new expectations of contemporary business and leisure travellers.”

Rezidor SAS believes that broadband services, wired or not, are soon going to be what guests expect at a first class hotel; along with a bathroom, a bed, a telephone and television, free high-speed Internet access will be part of standard guestroom amenities.

In the beginning of 2005, Radisson SAS completed installation of wireless Internet access (WiFi) at most of its hotels. This was a significant investment by Rezidor SAS to deliver a highly convenient and cost effective service to its guests.

“With the fast growing number of hotspots and true mobile computers, business professionals can work more efficiently away from the office,” says Finn Schulz, Vice President of Information Technology at Rezidor SAS Hospitality. “Radisson SAS offers a convenient and useful service that not only makes it easy for users to get connected to the Internet and their corporate networks, but by making the service complimentary it cuts corporate and leisure expenses.”

Free Broadband will be available in most Radisson SAS hotels by 1 September 2005, However, a few hotels might not be able to offer it until the end of the year. For more information about this service and a list of hotels that offer it please go to www.freebroadband.radissonsas.com.
