HYATT Hotels launched their free WiFi service in hotels worldwide this February. Guests need to check in to be able to access the service which is available in all lobbies as well as guest rooms.
Travelers will be able to access free Wi-Fi on an unlimited number of mobile devices or laptops in Hyatt-branded hotel guest rooms and social spaces.
Hotel guests in India use Wi-Fi more than the world average, the Expedia Mobile Survey 2014 says 62 per cent of Indian travelers look at Wi-Fi availability or pricing (like free Wi-Fi versus not having to pay for Wi-Fi) while making their purchase decisions. 43 per cent say complimentary Wi-Fi in guest rooms and public areas is very important when they book a hotel for personal travel.
A TripBarometer Mobile and Social survey further put Indians (at 96 per cent) above the global average of 87 per cent for using mobile devices while on holiday.
’Internet connectivity is no longer an amenity. It has become an integral part of travelers’ daily lives and a basic expectation,’ said Kristine Rose, vice president of brands for Hyatt.
Expanding free Wi-Fi is part of Hyatt’s ongoing focus to make the guest experience more seamless.
Where available, Hyatt Gold Passport Diamond and Platinum tier members will receive a complimentary upgrade to premium Wi-Fi service.
