We are proud to announce our recent partnership with MTN to bring world class Wi-Fi connectivity and cutting edge communication technology to our 51 hotel strong group.
Utilising MTN’s high speed next generation fibre optic network, we will be upgrading the Wi-Fi internet and voice services for our guests, while also enhancing our internal network, and optimising our systems stability.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR OUR GUESTS:
- Increased internet speeds
- Greater line reliability
- Lower telephone call costs
Thanks to this partnership, guests can experience the best in comfort and convenience when they stay with us!
BRINGING MTN ON BOARD BECAUSE ONLY THE BEST WILL DO
“MTN’s world class Africa-wide network provides connectivity that is tailored to provide the best user experience,” explains Kanagaratnam Lambotharan, MTN SA Chief Enterprise Business Officer.
He further adds, “Our local expertise and knowledge enable us to develop tailored business solutions that enable the delivery of a seamless communication experience which is exactly what the City Lodge Hotel Group’s business visitors will be exposed to.”
With MTN as our connectivity and telecommunications support, we are confident that all our hotels, be it a Courtyard Hotel; City Lodge Hotel; Town Lodge or Road Lodge, will be able to provide our guests with a degree of connectivity that will have them feeling like everything is just a click away (or in the case of room service, just a phone call).
THE PLAN OF ACTION
We are currently in the final stages of developing a rollout plan with MTN, which will include piloting the services that will be included in the agreement. It is expected that the entire programme will be fully operational in early 2015 and that new hotels under construction and on the radar will be included in the next year’s rollout plan.
We are very excited for this new partnership, and with the help of MTN, can’t wait to become the connected hotel hub of our dreams.
