(London, February 13th, 2012) – iBAHN, a global leader in IP platform-based systems and broadband technologies for the hospitality industry, today announced the completion of an internet service installation at two of the Warwick International Hotels Collection in Paris: The Warwick Champs Elysées and The Hotel Westminster.
The Hotel Westminster is considered by many to be the crown jewel of authentic, historical Paris hotels. It is named after the Duke of Westminster, who resided in the property in the 19th Century, and offers 102 magnificent rooms and suites as well as superb meeting venues and Michelin star dining.
The Warwick Champs Elysées is equally impressive and is based in the fashionable heart of Paris. The hotel’s lobby has been redesigned by world-famous designer Pierre Yves Rochon, and offers 149 rooms and suites based on the most beautiful avenue in the world.
As part of the new installation, the hotels are equipped with iBAHN’s broadband and Wi-Fi solutions, allowing guests in the rooms and public areas, including lobby, restaurant, bar and conference rooms, to access the internet securely, with a high quality of service and technical support in multiple languages.
Ulla Schneider, SVP of the Warwick International Hotels Collection, says: “Our objective is to reach 100% guest satisfaction on internet services during any guest’s stay, whether they are visiting us for business or leisure. To achieve this aim, we turned to iBAHN, well recognised as the most reliable and respected provider of digital information and entertainment for the hospitality industry.”
Graeme Powell, MD iBAHN EMEA, comments: “Warwick International Hotels is world renowned for its high quality properties and services, and both The Warwick Champs Elysées and The Hotel Westminster will now enjoy complete broadband access throughout. This will include free connectivity for browsing and checking emails, and the option of a premium service to access more data intensive content, all of which will be controlled via iBAHN’s patented bandwidth management solution.”
