Hilton Brings Home Theater to the Guest Room
Hilton Hotels has launched home theatre-like Sight+Sound Rooms at two hotels, including 25 guest rooms at the Hilton Chicago O'Hare International Airport and 30 guest rooms at the Hilton San Francisco.
"Travelers desire more digital entertainment options in the hotel guest room than ever before. The Hilton Sight+Sound Rooms are designed to provide a more enriching experience to business travelers and families, enhancing their journey by providing the ultimate in-room entertainment," says Tom Keltner, CEO, Americas and global brands, Hilton Hotels Corporation.
The high definition system features home theatre-like qualities of surround sound from Yamaha's YSP-800 digital sound projector, an LG 42-inch plasma screen, high definition programming from DirecTV, a programming guide and menu system from LodgeNet, and sports packages.
Guests also can bring their own media content and plug portable devices such as MP3 players, laptops, digital cameras and video recorders into a specially designed connectivity panel from LodgeNet. To support the connection, Monster Cable is providing a cable pack in the event guests leave their cables behind.
"The Sight+Sound Rooms represent an important extension of the strategic entertainment and technological solutions designed for our guests," says Jeffrey Diskin, senior vice president of brand management, Hilton Hotels.
