Adlon Hotel Issues IT-Declaration!
Stockholm July 2, 1997

A certain amount of confusion has arisen over the meaning of an "IT Hotel". Guests wonder what this means and in certain cases even "ordinary" hotels have called themselves IT-Hotels. We are for the first time issuing an IT-Declaration for this reason.

 The time when a well-furnished hotel room consisted only of a chair, bed, table and lamp is over. Therefore, Adlon Hotel in addition offers its guests the means of using analog connections, digital connections (ISDN) telephones and data communications, as well as network connections to the Intranet and Internet. Of course, all rooms are also prepared for digital TV. Moreover, all rooms are internally connected for receiving indication of fire and voice evacuation alarms, temperature control, wake-up service, connection of smoke detectors as well as other alarms and communications.

 Adlon Hotel has now chosen to summarise all of these services in an IT-Declaration. There you can easily find which IT-services the hotel offers.

 We continuously update the services, which we offer on our IT-Declaration which, in addition to other detailed information concerning our hotel, can be found on our Internet home page (www.adlon.se).

 If you have questions concerning this information, please feel free to telephone us at 08-402 65 01, fax us at 08-21 32 90 or send an E-Mail to [email protected].
