Orlando, FL – November 10, 2011 – The ballots are in, and with the help of Intelity ICE (Interactive Customer Experience ™) Touch on iPad, The Eccleston Square Hotel in London was presented In-Room Technology Innovation of the Year by the European Hospitality Awards . Eccleston Square, the first European hotel to offer ICE on the iPad 2 as a standard room feature, installed the revolutionary program in July 2011. Eccleston Square Hotel was awarded the honor in a category recognizing a hotel that implemented technology to make the property more appealing to guests, elevate the brand and define the modernization and efficiency of the hotel’s operations. Each nominee was judged by a panel that comprised of a number of key individuals drawn from areas of the international hospitality community. “We are thrilled that our hotel partner is the recipient of such a prestigious international award, particularly in the category of in-room technology innovation” said Intelity CEO, David Adelson. “Throughout the renovation Eccleston Square had set out to reinvent the city hotel room and we are honored to have played a significant role in helping them achieve just that.” After an extensive renovation that was completed this summer, Eccleston Square Hotel transformed its interior with high tech features and beautiful modern design. The deployment of Intelity’s technology grants guests access to hotel services and local information instantaneously.
