The neighbourhood-lifestyle brand pentahotels is introducing a new category of rooms aiming to attract gamers – the PentaPlayerPad.
With the launch of the PentaPlayerPad in Brussels, Liège and Paris, pentahotels is catering for guests who like to spend more time in their rooms without getting bored. Equipped with football tables, Sony Playstation4 or pinball machines, the gamers’ paradise brings the pentalounge-style entertainment to the hotel rooms. To top it all off, room service offers everything the gamer could want to eat: club sandwiches, fresh pizza and the classic “pentaburger” can be delivered to the room – pizzas are even available 24/7.
Alastair Thomann, Managing Director of pentahotels, is delighted to introduce the new experience for the penta-guests: “In 2007 we introduced the neighbourhood-lifestyle feeling for our guests with the launch of the pentalounge – a combination of lounge, bar, café and reception. Since then we have continued to develop this open plan design with special refinements. With the PentaPlayerPad we are looking to further expand our position as a key trendsetter in the innovative hotel segment and to strengthen our brand positioning. The feedback from our customers has been extremely positive and thus, we are working on equipping more of our 5086 rooms worldwide with gamer consoles and similar gadgets. The goal is to have all pentahotels equipped with the new pads by 2017.”
Known for its unique interior design and “neighbourhood” feel, the lifestyle brand stands for true innovation in the industry’s 4-star segment. With 28 hotels across seven countries on two continents, pentahotels offers individual and business travellers comfort and style in a relaxed atmosphere. The hallmark of the hotel chain is the pentalounge – a combination of lounge, bar, café and reception – that stands out with its “living room” look and feel. The room keys are handed out at the design-bar – along with a drink. Rather than feeling like a conventional hotel reception the vibe is that of a chill-out area of a cool club. Design furniture, a billiard table, pinball machine, Sony Playstation4 and free WiFi add to the relaxed atmosphere in the lounge. The pentalounge has become the hallmark of the hotel chain and a hotspot for gamers during the day and night.
