Asia Pacific’s leading luxury hotel group, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts offers free WIFI and wired Internet to every guest as part of a group-wide initiative launched January 2009 at all 67 of its Shangri-La and Traders hotels and resorts. 

In response to economic downturn and its impact on business travel budgets, all Shangri-La guests can enjoy unlimited high-speed Internet access in all areas of every one of the group’s hotels, including guestrooms, public areas, restaurants, lounges and function areas.  

“Getting connected while on the road is the number one priority of our business travellers and many of our valued customers view Internet access as absolutely crucial. Offering free Internet is further evidence of our commitment to Shangri-La’s service to our customers during these uncertain times. No longer considered a luxury, guests are demanding high-speed Internet access as an essential room requirement and as something that should be included as a standard service by an international hotel group,” said Greg Dogan, president and chief executive officer.

Hong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, one of the world’s most respected hotel companies, currently owns and/or manages 68 hotels under the Shangri-La and Traders brands, with a rooms inventory of over 30,000.  Over almost four decades the group has established its brand hallmark of ‘hospitality from the heart.’  The group has over 40 projects under development in Austria, Canada, mainland China, France, India, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Mongolia, Russia, Qatar, Seychelles, Turkey and United Kingdom.  For more information and reservations, please contact a travel professional or access the website at www.shangri-la.com.
