Industry-Leading Offer Extends to All Guests
Independent of Booking Method or Loyalty Program Participation
Effective February 14, 2015, all Hyatt hotels and resorts
worldwide will provide free Wi-Fi to guests independent of booking
method or loyalty program participation. This industry-leading
offer will be available to guests on an unlimited number of mobile
devices or laptops in guest rooms and social spaces at
Hyatt-branded hotels.
“We continue to evolve our offerings by listening to our guests,
and for Hyatt, it didn’t feel natural to put barriers around
something travelers view as an essential part of their hotel stay,”
said Kristine Rose, vice president of brands, Hyatt. “More than 500
Hyatt-branded hotels and resorts worldwide are excited to now
provide Wi-Fi free of charge in guestrooms and social spaces, no
strings attached.”
Platinum and Diamond Hyatt Gold Passport members will receive a
free upgrade to premium Wi-Fi service in those spaces wherever
available, and guests will have the option to purchase premium
service in those locations. Nearly 90 percent of Hyatt hotels
around the world have made investments in their networks in the
past three years.
“Staying connected through technology is a critical part of
productivity and keeping in touch with loved ones, especially while
away traveling,” Rose said. “With free Wi-Fi for all guests at all
Hyatt hotels and resorts, guests can worry less about their
Internet connections and focus on the things that matter most.”
The sign-on process to access free Wi-Fi will vary by property.
While free Wi-Fi is available in guest rooms and social spaces such
as lobbies and Hyatt-operated restaurants, it does not extend to
meeting rooms, where bandwidth demand varies by the number of event
attendees. Hotels will continue to work with organizers
individually to procure appropriate support for an optimal
experience.
The term “Hyatt” is used in this release to refer to Hyatt
Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) and/or one or more of its
affiliates.
