| ATLANTA — Nov. 26, 2001 — Noble House Hotels & Resorts, the
award-winning operator of one-of-a-kind luxury properties in the United
States, has selected Atlanta-based StayOnline as its provider partner to
deploy wireless high-speed Internet access.
Based in Kirkland, WA, Noble House initially plans to embark on two
high-visibility StayOnline wireless Internet connectivity pilot projects:
-
The Hotel Edgewater in Seattle – the city’s only waterfront hotel, with
236 guestrooms and 10 meeting rooms
-
The Portofino Hotel & Yacht Club in Redondo Beach, CA, a world-renowned
property with 163 guestrooms, two suites and eight meeting rooms.
“After reviewing a multitude of access options available in the market,
we selected StayOnline to provide its state-of-the-art wireless Internet
connectivity to our collection of luxury properties, beginning with these
two high-priority projects,” said Phil Brown, President of Noble House
Hotels & Resorts. “This significant new addition to the Noble
House amenity portfolio utilizes StayOnline’s cost-effective state-of-the-art
wireless connectivity solutions and convenient access to the Internet and
e-mail.
“In line with our other amenities, this new high-tech/high-touch StayOnline
service will help Noble House in its core mission of creating one-of-a-kind
stays, giving our properties a key competitive advantage for years to follow,”
Mr. Brown continued. “In addition to building guest loyalty for repeat
business and referrals, StayOnline’s wireless connectivity solutions will
help our hotels tap new management tools to enhance productivity and profitability
and to consistently optimize occupancies, rates and RevPAR.”
Antonio DiMilia, StayOnline President, said StayOnline’s wireless high-speed
Internet access and in-room PC solutions are based on a business model
proven to maximize value for all parties involved — from property owners
and operators, to guests and employees, to brand franchisors and franchisees.
“StayOnline
delivers the best value in Internet connectivity available today,” Mr.
DiMilia said. “By offering StayOnline’s expandable wireless infrastructure,
properties are uniquely positioned to take full advantage of advancing
hospitality tools and technologies going forward.
“For nearly two decades, Noble House Hotels & Resorts has been committed
to creating and managing unique, quality properties that both reflect and
make a profound contribution to the communities in which they are located,”

“For guests, this means arriving into a very distinctive setting, where
every aspect of their experience is crafted, taking into account the local
history, culture and environment. Each Noble House property has its
own character, yet maintains the consistent high standards of the collection
as a whole,” he concluded. “Noble House is reaffirming this commitment
