HITEC, Los Angeles, Guests at some of the world’s top hotels will now be able to experience the revolutionary hotel guest entertainment system by Neos Interactive, thanks to two new partnerships with the Sandy Lane, Barbados resort and the new Grosvenor House Hotel & Apartments, Dubai Marina.

The innovative system will be demonstrated by Neos Interactive Chief Executive Tassos Kazinos, at the HITEC 2005 Microsoft booth. Neos provides a digital, interactive information and entertainment system that delivers true digital cinema-on-demand with DVD functionality and high-speed Internet access through televisions. Neos iTV also offers electronic Guest services, web radio, music-on-demand and other real time interactive services.

“For a hotel which wants to give its guests with the ultimate in service, it was logical for Sandy Lane to pick Neos as the best entertainment system we could buy,” said Sandy Lane General Manager Colm Hannon. Sandy Lane, Barbados which offers one of the world’s most sought after resort experiences, has now decided to make the NEOS system available throughout their recently refurbished rooms and suites.

In addition, guests at the very latest hotel to grace the skyline of Dubai, the Grosvenor House at Dubai Marina, will have access to the Neos system in every apartment, bedroom and suite. The Grosvenor House is managed by Le Meridien Hotels.

“Neos is very excited to be working with both Sandy Lane and the new Grosvenor House, Dubai Marina to deliver a state-of-the-art digital entertainment solution that revolutionises traditional television offerings in hotels,” said Kazinos.

“We will continue to work with their management to roll out new features, functions, and services, keeping these properties at the cutting edge of in-room hotel technology.”
