TFE Hotels

released - 22 June 2010

Rendezvous Hospitality Group (RHG), a leader in operating business hotels in the Asia Pacific region, today announced the introduction of Business Benefits. This new hassle-free package is designed to deliver unbeatable extras for hotel guests.

For less than the price of a standard breakfast, the Business Benefits package includes:

Full breakfast for one
Newspaper of choice
The option of either a laundered/ pressed shirt, OR a drink at the bar, AND
FREE UNLIMITED internet access throughout the hotel for the entire day

The Business Benefits package is $27.50 in Australian and New Zealand hotels, $29.50 in Singapore and RMB 150 net in Shanghai.

In line with our focus on being the business hotel group of choice, the Business Benefits package has been designed for discerning guests who are on-the-go and appreciate the value-added innovative initiatives that RHG is now offering. It is no longer business as usual at RHG hotels, said Iqbal Jumabhoy, RHG Chief Executive Officer.

We envisage Business Benefits will change the way our guests travel, stay and do business. At present, Business Benefits is unmatched in the corporate accommodation sector, particularly when it comes to the cost of conducting business via internet and phone.

As part of our brand strategy for both the Rendezvous and The Marque Hotel brands, we committed significant time and research to understand the needs of our guests, and are now setting a new industry benchmark with the introduction of Business Benefits, added Mr Jumabhoy.

In addition to Business Benefits, RHG also recently made a Value Promise in all Rendezvous and The Marque Hotels that set a unique benchmark for the business accommodation sector in terms of style and convenience. Available free-of-charge, it is a standard service offered to all guests at both hotel brands and will include three hours of daily free Internet access, free local calls, mini-bar item prices that are comparable to convenience store prices and laundry prices comparable to local laundry rates.

The Rendezvous Hotel Singapore also opened Southeast Asias first public Telepresence suite in a hotel. Leveraging on state-of-the-art technology providing participants with lifelike meeting experiences, the Telepresence suite is an example of a superior innovation aimed at being a major business tool to both hotel guests as well as external parties, who may not be staying at the hotel, but require the use of such facilities.
