Roanoke Travelers Stay Connected Using the New Link @ Sheraton Roanoke Hotel & Conference Center

The newly renovated Sheraton Roanoke Hotel & Conference Center features 'Link @ Sheraton experienced with Microsoft' technology, offering guests a modern, high tech way to network.

Roanoke, Virginia (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 6, 2009 -- Travelers want easy access to communication and information technology. The recently renovated Sheraton Roanoke Hotel & Conference Center fulfills that need with their signature communications hub, called ‘Link @ Sheraton experienced with Microsoft’, which has been introduced in hotel lobbies throughout the world. For guests, this means though they may be out of town, they won’t be out of touch.

A unique lobby lounge that is both a physical and a virtual space enables guests to stay connected, work and socialize through complimentary Wi-Fi and Internet-enabled computer stations. Through its relationship with Microsoft, Sheraton Roanoke Hotel & Conference Center provides enhanced Windows-based computers so visitors can easily check email, search the web, keep up with social networking, view online maps, review local attractions and print boarding passes. Using the webcams, guests can participate in free video-chats or email video postcards back home. There is also access to televisions and daily newspapers, along with food and beverage items.

Navin C. Dimond, President and Chief Executive Officer of Stonebridge Companies says, “One of the major reasons we chose to work with Sheraton Hotels & Resorts on the Roanoke project was because of this new technology. Accessing online information is vital to today’s business and leisure travelers.”

In a recent work-life study commissioned by Sheraton the vast majority of professionals surveyed (88%) say the new technology makes business travel easier or more seamless and 85% say new technology helps them stay better connected to family and friends when traveling on business. The lobby is also designed to facilitate socializing; a great place to meet old friends and make new ones. Link @ Sheraton is one component of a comprehensive effort by Sheraton Hotels & Resorts to enhance and differentiate the guest experience at their 408 hotels across 75 countries.
