The free smartphone service, which comes as an in-room amenity, offers guests unlimited international and local calls, unlimited 3G data and Wi-Fi tethering capabilities, as well as a comprehensive city guide.
Darren Ware, general manager of Grand Park Orchard, said: “For today’s traveller, staying connected is important and if you will, at the top of anyone’s travel checklist.”
Created by Tink Labs Singapore, the handy mobile solution is pre-loaded with travel apps including news services, a currency converter, MRT maps as well as a digital location-based city guide.
Ware said: “This is best suited for those who, when travelling, would like to keep to their daily routine, whether it is keeping in touch, staying on top of the news or sharing their travel experiences and photos through social media.”
According to Ware, the hotel has invested close to S$300,000 (US$235,000) on the project. “It is more than just a numbers (cost) game – when the intangible benefits add up, (handy is) aligned with our service philosophy of providing loving hospitality at our hotel.”
The guest’s browsing history, personal information and any additional applications are completely deleted from the device when the handy is reset to factory settings upon check-out.
Ware added that Park Hotel Group is targeting the roll-out of this handy solution to its other two Singapore properties – Grand Park City Hall and Park Hotel Clarke Quay – within the year.
