Broughton Hospitality to Provide iTV and Satellite TV to Three Chicago Properties
Broughton Hospitality has entered into a 5-year agreement with an estimated value in excess of $700,000 over the life of the contract with Roomlinx, Inc. to provide the Roomlinx Interactive TV (iTV) solution for three Chicago properties: The City Suites Hotel, The Majestic Hotel, and The Willows Hotel. Roomlinx Interactive TV was installed into ten rooms in each of these properties a year ago and they will now install all rooms with their iTV product, LCD TVs, and Free-To-guest HD television programming.
All three properties are managed by Broughton Hospitality. Broughton currently manages sixteen boutique hotels throughout the United States and was given an award as one of the top 100 management companies by Hotel Business magazine. They have also received the Earnst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award and NaVOBA's Vetrepreneur of the Year award.
Jim Sichta, Partner and COO of Broughton Hospitality, says: "The Roomlinx iTV product is a big hit for us and our guests. It has generated ancillary revenues for Broughton Hospitality, while offering a refreshing change from the vanilla, on-demand movie channels found in most hotels. We anticipate moving forward with additional properties this year."
