Sheraton Philadelphia University City Takes Next Step Towards Property Wide Digital Services Integration

Symon Communications Deploys Public Area Digital Displays to Complement Existing SuiteLinq(TM) In-Room Services

EXTON, Pa., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Since 2006, guests at Sheraton Philadelphia University City have enjoyed a unique interactive experience in their room thanks to SuiteLinq, Inc. The Exton, PA, based provider of content, connectivity, and commerce solutions for hospitality and extended-stay environments installed its SuiteLinq(TM) Desktop solution there to rave customer reviews and has continued to enhance the experience for the hotel's international clientele. The interactive portal is available in all guestrooms and is delivered on a customized computing device that provides high-speed Internet access, hotel information, amenities promotions, local guides, business services, and more. These features are designed to make the guest's stay more relevant and more enjoyable while driving increased satisfaction rates and revenue generation opportunities. SuiteLinq's recent partnership with Symon Communications, a 30-year provider of in-venue visual communications solutions, has brought the two companies together at the Sheraton University City to give guests and visitors alike a comprehensive digital content experience throughout the property.

SuiteLinq's CEO, Joseph Mustilli, states that, "When guests are in the hotel's lobby and public areas, Symon's digital signage greets them with news, weather, relevant event information and more. It's a totally dynamic system that keeps guests informed about what's going on, both in the world and at the hotel. This property hosts many events and large groups. Symon's digital displays are the ideal way to reach them as they are walking about."

As a result of the recent integration agreement between the two companies, much of Symon's digital content will soon be available to guests in their rooms. Mustilli adds, "Like Symon's platforms, the SuiteLinq Desktop portal is highly dynamic and easily accommodates digital data feeds. We are working with Symon so that guests will soon enjoy access to the same timely and relevant content in the comfort of their room via SuiteLinq. The result will be a completely seamless digital content delivery system that spans multiple guest touch points on-site."
