iBAHN, the worldwide leader in digital entertainment and internet solutions for the hospitality and meeting industries, has signed a deal with Hotel ADA Palace in Madrid, part of Corporacion Hispano, to deliver the most advanced in-room digital entertainment and internet connectivity services on the market.

The installation, which has just been completed, provides all 80 rooms of the Spanish hotel with iBAHN’s high definition digital entertainment solution, ETVi HD, along with fixed and wireless High Speed Internet Access (HSIA). Hotel ADA Palace will be the first hotel in the CHH chain to appoint a single provider for its HSIA and TV services, making it a point of reference for Spanish hotel technology.

The iBAHN ETVi HD package enables the hotel to integrate guest services with entertainment packages in its rooms, helping to improve communication channels with its guests. The deal will also offer the potential for bundling HSIA for laptops with TV video-on-demand (VOD) services, for a single 24-hour usage price.

Guests who need access to their corporate networks as well as those accessing the internet for pleasure will also find the highest standards of data security through iBAHN’s Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) offering, which eliminates the possibility of data theft.

Manuel Enriquez Sanz, finance director for CHH, comments: “We selected iBAHN as a result of our previous positive experience of working with them and because of iBAHN’s unique ability to offer both HSIA and fully digital TV in-room services. We hope that the installation will make us a shining example for hotel technology within the Spanish market. The deal that iBAHN was able to offer CHH was also particularly attractive.”

Graeme Powell, Managing Director EMEA, iBAHN, adds: “Our relationship with the CHH hotel chain extends over five years, and we are delighted to be adding Hotel ADA Palace to our portfolio. iBAHN’s product vision for in-room hotel technology is constantly evolving to ensure our digital entertainment offering is not only the most advanced on the market, but also developed to answer guests’ requirements.”
