KUCHING: Over 200 winners descended upon the brand new Tune Hotel klia2 to enjoy a fun-filled evening as the hotel had a 'Pyjama Party' to celebrate its recent opening over the weekend.

Ten individual winners of the Tune Hotels' #RoomerHasIt Facebook campaign were able to invite family and friends to enjoy a further 10 complimentary double rooms for a sleepover at Tune Hotel klia2 and join in for the celebration in their sleeping garb.

International journalists and bloggers from Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Australia and Taiwan were also flown in courtesy of AirAsia and AirAsia X. The event was also made possible by partner-sponsors including Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid, the AirAsia BIG Loyalty Programme and Doof The World Sdn Bhd.

"We are thrilled with the opening of Tune Hotel klia2 which has already received an overwhelming response and very strong forward bookings from travellers around the region. Through the #RoomerHasIt social media campaign we wanted to introduce and create further awareness of our latest design and fit-out to previous guests as well as the fantastic facilities at klia2, the world's largest purpose-built airport for low cost carriers. There's no better way to do that than have them immersed in the hotel itself," said Tune Hotels Group CEO Mark Lankester at the party.

He said with Tune Hotel klia2, guests now have a superior accommodation option that is not only great value for money but also features improvements to its international-standard offerings. With 400 rooms, the hotel is directly connected to the new Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (klia2) Terminal via a covered walkway and link bridge, allowing easy and more convenient access as well as the Gateway@klia2 shopping mall. For ultimate convenience, the hotel features AirAsia self check-in kiosks in the lobby.

"Much has been said about the huge size of the new klia2 Terminal and it is impressively large. By hosting these winners and their guests at the Tune Hotel klia2, we want to illustrate just how convenient it is to have a great sleep or enjoy the services within the hotel while waiting for their next flight, and the convenience of strolling over to the terminal without rushing and with time on your side," he said.

Tune Hotels has innovatively transformed the guestroom experience into a modern-style accommodation featuring the all-new room design with a sleek writing table, luggage platform and a 32-inch flat screen LED TV, bringing about an improved, sophisticated but cool ambience throughout the Tune Hotel klia2.

Award-winning recording artiste and singer-songwriter Melissa Indot, YouTube sensation Elizabeth Tan and Tune Hotels' very own Eugene See entertained with performances of their own hit songs and popular interpretations.

There are currently 45 Tune Hotels available for booking across Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, England, Scotland, Australia, India and Japan.

TM signs deal with Everly Group for ICT entertainment solution <b>...</b>

Posted: 06 Jun 2014 10:12 AM PDT

PUTRAJAYA: Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) strives to continue to elevate the experience of guests at Malaysian hotels when it signed a service agreement with Everly Group yesterday for the provision of its Hospitality Entertainment Solution.

Under this agreement, all hotels under Everly Group will be able to enjoy TM'S latest ICT and entertainment package comprising In -Building Broadband Solution (IBS), TM's high-speed broadband (HSBB) network connectivity.

With this collaboration, Everly Group becomes the first hotel chain to subscribe to TM's Hospitality Entertainment Solution for all of its eight hotels.

The eight hotels that will be provided with the Hospitality Entertainment Solution are The Parkcity Everly Hotel Putrajaya, Parkcity Everly Hotel Bintulu, Sarawak, Parkcity Everly Hotel Miri, Everly Resort Hotel, Melaka, Prescott Hotel Medan Tuanku Kuala Lumpur, Prescott Hotel Sentral Kuala Lumpur, Prescott Hotel Kajang Selangor and Prescott Hotel Klang Selangor.

The solution is exclusively targeted at hospitality players, hotel businesses, retreat owners, resort owners/operators, hospitals, apartments, condominiums and any high tenancy building that requires wired/wireless internet access and uninterrupted TV viewing.

TM executive vice president (SME) Azizi A Hadi and TM SME Sales vice president Khadhir Elias signed the service agreement on behalf of TM while the Everly Group was represented by group managing director Dennis Tan and Parkcity Everly Hotel Miri manager Mok Pin Chuan.

Commenting on the new partnership, Azizi said the agreement indicated significant change for Malaysian SMEs involved in the hospitality industry.

"This comprehensive solution is specially developed to elevate the hotel guests' experience and also to ease hoteliers' technical management concerns as the solution provides high speed broadband internet access via TM's Unify connectivity, world class entertainment via HyppTV, as well as a 24/7 call centre and customer support.

"The designated call centre will be managing any issues from the hotel management and the end users on Wi-Fi access and HyppTV channels. In short, the hotel focuses on what they do best – providing convenience and hospitality to their patrons and let us do the rest," he said.

He added that this was in line with their 'Business Made Easier' aspiration to become the preferred communication and complete solution partner to SMEs in the nation.

"I am enthusiastic with this collaboration with Everly Group as they are the first hotel chain in Malaysia to sign up for our Hospitality Entertainment Solution," Azizi pointed out.

Tan meanwhile said he is pleased with the collaboration, especially in meeting the needs of the current genre of guests who value human connectivity and diversity in entertainment.

"We believe that this alliance lends robust support to both brands. From the Everly brand perspective, hotels are social exchanges and we place great emphasis on how our people connect with guests and how our guests connect with other travellers, whether on a business or leisure trip.

"And the Prescott Hotels are the stimulating hubs of the communities in which they are located. Thus, having high speed connectivity and good entertainment promotes roles as a social hub which people hang out, celebrate, dine and stay," he said.
