Since Wi-Fi was invented

Initially motivated by the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, the IT Director at Malmaison hotels wanted robust Wi-Fi, branded his way, in his public spaces. He planned to deliver a pop-up business centre space for his guests. Working closely with the Malmaison brand team, we developed an innovative service model where we delivered the hardware installation and ongoing Wi-Fi services, while the hoteliers retained control over price and branding.

Unusual at a time when Wi-Fi vendors typically retained this control through revenue share models only, our commercial and contractual flexibility has led to a full, leading edge, Wi-Fi estate refresh twice since the start of the relationship. Looking ahead, Malmaison and Hotel du Vin are considering the same Wi-Fi provision for their UK serviced apartment and non-hospitality portfolio.
