Accor, Philips Extend Global TV Supply Partnership

Accor has extended its global TV supply partnership with Philips for three years. Philips has supplied its dedicated range of Hotel TVs to Accor's hotels around the world since 2006. The value of the agreement, which begins in January 2011, was not disclosed.

 

Accor operates 4,100 hotels in 90 countries through its complementary brands from luxury to budget: Sofitel, Pullman, Novotel, Suite Novotel, Mercure, Adagio, ibis, all seasons, Etap hotel, Formule 1, hotelF1, Motel6, as well as Thalassa sea & spa and LenÔtre.

 

"Across our portfolio of hotels we want to make it easy for our guests to bring their own content and enjoy it in their rooms, as well as to find their favorite TV channels away from home. Philips' TVs deliver on these needs," says Christophe Causero, technology procurement director, Accor. "By providing a comprehensive service designed around our needs, Philips enables us to focus on our guests."

 

Philips recently introduced a new range of TVs to the hospitality industry, bringing the in-home cinematic viewing experience to business and leisure travelers. It incorporates three ranges of hotel TVs, including the EasySuite range, the PrimeSuite range and the Signature range. With the new range of TVs, Philips offers the widest selection of LED TVs available for the hotel industry today in all screen sizes, with groundbreaking features, and includes the world's first Full HD 3D TV for hotels.

 

The new range offers a variety of new benefits, ranging from advancements in sustainability as well as full service packages that include extended warranties and rental offerings. In addition to its range of TVs, Philips supplies a wide range of lighting and consumer lifestyle appliances to the hotel industry.
