Tracking, collating and monitoring data with the code �SFT� (single female traveller) has given Hotel Inter.Continental Sydney valuable information that is critical in influencing where a business women traveller chooses to stay.

Hotel Inter.Continental Sydney�s executive guest rooms combine five-star comfort with a state-of-the-art business environment, while keeping in mind the business women now makes up one of the fastest growing demographics in the hotel and travel industry in the 90�s.

Recognising the three key needs of business women travellers the hotel has created an environment conducive to business, comfort and safety.

Without discrimination, subtle improvements have been made for the convenience of business women travellers. Including the introduction of a �stand-by� kit for any essential item that may have been forgotten, or need replacement. Basics include: nail varnish remover, emery board, shaving kit, tooth brush, cotton balls, bath salts, skirt hangers and slippers.

Reading material is also considered and female guests won�t just find the latest Vogue or Harpers Bazaar but crucial business reading aimed at keeping the business women on the cutting edge.

With safety in mind preference for many business women travellers is the exclusive �Club Inter.Continental� occupying the top four floors of the hotel. From the moment guests arrive at the airport they enjoy seamless hospitality with a chauffeur driven limousine collection and handling of luggage, private check-in on the Club floor and personal room escorts. �Club Inter.Continental� offers security, privacy and the perfect platform to conduct business meetings, entertain clients and relax.

Resulting from extensive research of over 1600 business travellers (50 percent women) all executive rooms feature Hewlett Packard Office Jet 590 workstations, combining printer/fax/scanner/copier, producing presentation quality documents. Printing from a laptop is facilitated by software that is compatible with virtually any PC.

Business travellers told us they don�t want to pack up their supplies so all executive rooms provide everything you would find in an office (stapler, note pads, floppy discs, scissors, pens, pencils, paper clips). As well as a individual coffee plunger and complimentary coffee for that well earned break.

A dual-line telephone enables voice and data transmission simultaneously, so whilst faxing or operating a modem important calls can still be made. A new addition is internet access via the television.

Health and safely issues are key concerns that have been responded to with lighting and seating to eliminate back and vision problems. Leather desk chairs provide a balance of form and function, featuring fully adjustable back, seat and pneumatic height control. The halogen desk lamp creates a soft harmonious light that dramatically reduces glare and is ideal for use with laptop computers.
