 Orlando,
FL – February 18, 2011 – Intelity, the leader in interactive
hospitality
technology, has brought its revolutionary product to the newly opened
JW
Marriott Indianapolis Downtown with its ICE (Interactive Customer
Experience ™)
technology in each of the hotel’s 1005 guestrooms. Through ICE TV, each
television has been transformed into a self-service system that has
been
designed to boost on-property revenues, lower operating costs and
increase
guest satisfaction.
Intelity’s ICE TV allows guests of the world’s newest and largest JW Marriott to access a virtual, interactive concierge using their TV remote control. Guests can now order in room dining, make restaurant reservations at the hotel’s two restaurants, request wake-up calls, make spa reservations, request housekeeping or maintenance services. Additionally, guests can also check airline schedules and check-in for flights using the remote and the television in their guest rooms. “This is our largest project to date and it is a huge honor to have been included in what the JW Marriott considers to be the crown jewel of all its properties. Having our technology featured in the largest JW Marriott in the world is a testament to the growth of our company and the importance of the service we provide hoteliers,” said Intelity CEO, David Adelson. Intelity expects to be present in over 500,000 rooms throughout North America, the Caribbean and Latin America by mid 2011. “Having the opportunity to bring some of the best and most innovative hospitality technology to the largest JW Marriott in the world was a new milestone for White Lodging,” said Ken Barnes, VP of Information Technology, White Lodging. “By teaming with Intelity and implementing its revolutionary ICE technology, the JW Marriott Indianapolis will be offering guests amenities and luxury that cannot be found anywhere else in the Midwest,” he added. In addition to ICE TV, guests of the JW Marriott Indianapolis Downtown will soon be able to access their own virtual concierge on their smartphones with ICE Mobile.
