Hotel to provide smartphones for guests
Grand Park Orchard flagship to offer the service by March 3
THE Park Hotel Group will equip all 308 rooms at its Grand Park Orchard flagship with personalised smartphones, pre-loaded with useful travel apps, which its guests can use both within and outside the hotel.
Guests will also be able to use "handy" - as the service is dubbed - to make unlimited local and international calls to 27 countries for free as the hotel seeks to enhance guest experiences amid the competitive tourism landscape. The service will be offered by March 3, following a month-long pilot programme.
The Park Hotel Group, which has invested nearly $300,000 in introducing the technology, eventually plans to roll it out at its two other local properties this year - Grand Park City Hall and Park Hotel Clarke Quay.
