Upscale Boutique Property is First Hotel in the Northeast U.S. To Feature LodgeNet's Cloud-Connected Interactive TV Platform and Apps
LodgeNet Interactive Corporation (NASDAQ: LNET), the leading provider of media and connectivity solutions to hospitality and healthcare businesses, announced today that the Lenox Hotel in Boston is the first hotel in the Northeast United States to be installed with Envision(TM), the company's high-definition, interactive TV (iTV) platform.
Under a recently signed five-year agreement, LodgeNet has replaced the Lenox Hotel's previous iTV system with its latest generation Envision solution. Guests of the 214-room Lenox have access to the new Envision applications available in an easy to navigate, "app store" format. In addition, guests of the Lenox can easily access information about the local area through the Local Guide app, providing information about area restaurants, shopping, bars and clubs with the click of a remote. Guests can also choose from a vast array of entertainment, including the newest Hollywood releases and a large selection of just missed television shows, as well as on demand sports content.
"The Lenox Hotel is a true landmark hotel that embodies all the tradition and charm of Boston and a commitment to total guest satisfaction," said Scott C. Petersen, LodgeNet President and CEO. "We are gratified that they have chosen to extend their relationship with LodgeNet and that they have embraced our new Envision platform and apps for not only delivering a memorable guest experience, but streamlining their operations and supporting their position of environmental leadership."
"With a list of commendations that includes Conde Nast, U.S. News & World Report, Travel+Leisure, and a #1 TripAdvisor ranking, it's critical that the technologies we choose for the Lenox Hotel help us not only maintain the property's illustrious reputation, but build on it," said John Malenfant, Director of IT for Saunders Hotel Group, which owns and manages the Lenox. "We look forward to LodgeNet's continuing partnership as we maximize the capabilities of 'the cloud' to enhance our bottom line and protect the environment."
LodgeNet will be demonstrating its Envision platform and apps (along with other TV, broadband and mobile solutions) at the upcoming HITEC show in Austin, Texas. Attendees are invited to visit the LodgeNet booth (#407) at the Austin Convention Center during floor hours, June 21-23.
