Manhattan’s Belvedere Hotel Provides Real-time Flight Information for Hotel Guests
Annapolis, Maryland, USA, July 6, 2011
ARINC Incorporated today announced that New York’s iconic Belvedere Hotel, located in midtown Manhattan, will be offering its guests the ARINC microFIDSTM real-time flight information solution. Through a partnership with TTI Technologies International, the ARINC system is now available to the hospitality industry as a turnkey solution, enabling hoteliers to provide convenient in-hotel flight information to guests without additional IT or maintenance burdens.
ARINC microFIDS systems provide up-to-the-minute flight information in display formats that can easily be placed in hotel business centers and other common areas. For a customer service-centric brand such as the Belvedere Hotel, microFIDS offers guests not only convenience, but also the comfort of waiting out any flight delays, or spending additional nights in the luxury of the hotel rather than at the airport.
“This system is a great fit for our hotel and the kind of service we want to offer our guests,” says Michael Link, General Manager at the Belvedere. “We cater to both business and leisure travelers, and having this information at the hotel will let them relax and stay with us rather than waiting for a delayed flight at LaGuardia, JFK or Newark.” The microFIDs displays are available in a variety of sizes and in sleek, professional looking design—a priority for luxury hotels such as the Belvedere. The displays can also be branded for the individual hotel and configured to display promotions for in-hotel services or third-party advertising.<
“We’re excited about the potential of microFIDs and thrilled that the Belvedere will be using the technology,” said Christopher Forrest, Managing Director at ARINC Managed Services. “It’s an incredibly flexible system that can be deployed in a variety of ways—from a full-service boarding pass scanning kiosk in the hotel business center, to a discreet iPad at the front desk. We believe our solution has something to offer a wide range of lodging providers.”
Manhattan’s elegant Belvedere Hotel is located within walking distance of some of Broadway’s most famous theaters. Built during the 1920’s Art Deco period, the Belvedere Hotel is part of New York’s Empire Hotel Group, which also includes The Pearl, The Lucerne, The Newton, The Travel Inn, The Americana Inn, The Belnord and The Lotus Hotel.
