As part of an overall upgrade and extension programme, Le Meridien Kuwait
is to unveil the latest IT facility in its lobby this autumn.
Wireless IT will enable guests and visitors to the hotel to connect to the
Internet on their PCs or other handheld devices – without the need for
sockets, plug-ins or wires and physical connections.
The so-called ‘hotspot’ technology is a new system that is targeted at
travellers in particular, doing away with the need to carry around the paraphernalia of technology but enabling them to hook up to the web at the
press of a button in certain areas in airports, hotels and even coffee shops.
Hannes Yaghi, general manager of Le Meridien in Kuwait, explained: “We
said when we took over the hotel and revealed our plans for expansion with
the A’Amal Hotels Company that Le Meridien would be in the forefront of the
hospitality sector in Kuwait. Our customers are now beginning to see the
results of this investment in product and facilities."
Following the opening of Le Meridien Kuwait earlier this year, the luxury hotel
group will introduce the second phase of its mega-project expansion in the
Gulf nation with the opening of the 70-room Le Meridien Safat at the end of
the year and a third hotel in the Mubarakia area next year.
These hotels mark the debut of Le Meridien’s innovative Art+Tech design in
the region, which will provide a unique hotel product for both local and
international travellers to Kuwait – a contemporary boutique style offering
cutting-edge technology and innovative room design.
“Both these hotels will incorporate the latest technology, but customers can
get a sample of the latest offering when we launch wireless IT at Le Meridien
Kuwait next month,” promised Yaghi. |
