TORONTO and ORLANDO, Fla., July 9, 2012 – When the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto is unveiled as the brand's new flagship hotel on October 5, Intelity’s ICE (Interactive Customer Experience™) Touch guest self-service technology will be on iPads in every room. Among the variety of amenities set to be featured, hotel management seeks to perfect and expand upon the impeccable level of service expected when staying at a Four Seasons property by providing guests the ability to make requests and order services with the touch of a finger. Powered by Intelity, in-room tablets will allow guests to order room service, adjust room controls, schedule spa appointments, and request wake-up calls, in addition to 30 other services. The ICE technology will also be available on guests’ personal smartphones and tablets via a free download. “Guest self-service technology is becoming a must have among average travelers, whether they are doing business or enjoying a personal vacation,” said Dimitrios Zarikos, regional vice president and general manager of Four Seasons Hotel Toronto. “Some travelers would forget to pack a toothbrush before they left behind their smartphone. We are exploring a variety of ways to harness this technology to provide the greatest benefits for our guests and to conveniently extend additional services to them.” “This partnership will allow Four Seasons Hotel Toronto to distinguish itself by providing first-class technology that will match the high caliber of traditional hotel service,” said David Adelson, president and CEO of Intelity. “By taking advantage of the latest in technology, they'll be able to ensure an even more unforgettable guest experience.” Reservations are currently being accepted for October and on.
