Beach Rotana invests more than a AED 1m on WiFi

Beach Rotana Abu Dhabi has invested AED 1.2 million (US $326,752) in providing wireless connectivity in all its rooms, restaurants and public areas.

Previously, it was only available in public areas and restaurants with guests having to rely on a wired connection in room.

Beach Rotana Abu Dhabi general manager Moritz Klein said: “Wireless internet is now common all over the world and our guests today expect seamless connectivity throughout the hotel. At the same time, the wireless infrastructure will allow us to implement new administration applications useful to the operation”.

Over a two-month period, Beach Rotana worked with wireless systems provider Aruba to install the system, which guests will have to pay to use.

“Guests will be charged as the cost of internet operating is still very expensive and at Beach Rotana, it is not included in the room rate. Nevertheless, if you book a Club Rotana room or suite during your stay with us, you may use complimentary wireless internet all day long at the Club Rotana Lounge,” said Klein.
