Provenance Hotels' New Year's Resolution: Free Wi-Fi in 2015
Art-filled lifestyle hotels in Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Nashville and New Orleans Eliminate Wi-Fi Fees for Overnight Guests on January 1, 2015
Portland, OR - December 30, 2014 - With the New Year just around the corner, Provenance Hotels has resolved to make working remotely and keeping in touch even easier - and less expensive - in 2015 by eliminating Wi-Fi fees for overnight guests at Hotel Max in Seattle, Hotel Murano in Tacoma, Portland's Hotel Lucia, Hotel deLuxe and Sentinel, and Hotel Preston in Nashville.
Over the course of the past year, Provenance Hotels has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in upgrading the Wi-Fi experience at the company's hotels with fiber optic internet to increase bandwidth, speed and capacity. On January 1, 2015, the company will cease charging for Wi-Fi at all its hotels so interfacing with the office and surfing the web from the comfort of a Provenance Hotels guest room will not only be fast and efficient - it will be free, too.
“Internet access is an essential amenity and we've long been focused on providing the fastest, most reliable service available to our guests,” said Bashar Wali, President of Provenance Hotels. “Making it available free of charge is the natural next step in our commitment to keeping travelers who stay at our hotels connected.”
Seattle's Hotel 1000, which already provides guests with free Wi-Fi, joined the Provenance Hotels family in July 2014. Wi-Fi will also be free at the company's Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery, which is slated to open in the heart of New Orleans' Arts District in spring 2015.
