Sheraton launches guest portal
06 August 2010
Sheraton Hotels & Resorts has launched a new portal for guests in collaboration with Microsoft.
Sheraton describes the portal as like having a personal concierge in the palm of your hand. It contains various information including content specific to each Sheraton location, including local maps and top search results for area restaurants, attractions, special events and services, the company said.
"Microsoft has been an integral partner during our revitalization of the Sheraton brand from the beginning with the launch of the Link@Sheraton powered by Microsoft," said Sheraton Hotel & Resorts senior vice president, global brand management Hoyt Harper. "Utilizing the Bing technology we've created a portal that will provide our guests with a geographically relevant and unique online experience whether they're in the lobby or their room."
Sheraton first collaborated with Microsoft on its Link@Sheraton experience. According to the hotel group, nearly 50% of all Sheraton guests use the Link@Sheraton during their stay.
