Novotle Rotorua welcomes colour like no other

The guys at Novotel Rotorua ask us to imagine tuning all the channels on 199 televisions, almost at once?   

It is often hard enough just tuning one television set!

Last week technicians and maintenance staff at the Novotel Rotorua Lakeside hotel successfully accomplished this task during the installation of the hotelââ¬â¢s new LCD colour televisions last week.

Guests at the Novotel Rotorua Lakeside hotel can now relax with all the amenities of home, and more, following the installation of the 32 inch hi-definition Bravia televisions in all the rooms.

According to the hotelââ¬â¢s Director of Sales and Marketing, Andrea Richards, ââ¬ÅâœWeââ¬â¢ve had guests commenting when they check out how much theyââ¬â¢re enjoying the quality of the televisions in their roomsââ¬~.

The purchase and installation represented a significant investment for the hotel.  ââ¬ÅâœIt is important to keep our amenities modern and in keeping with our guestsââ¬â¢ expectationsââ¬~, adds Andrea. 

The old televisions will initially be offered at a discounted rate to staff and the balance will be sold through a local auction house. 

With Rydges North Sydney giving their old TV's to guests and the Kiwis in Rotorua selling them at discounted rates and at an auction house.............any more bids about what to do with old hotel TV's?

• Mercure Hotel Sydney Airport: We are giving them away to charities!
  
  

  Mercure Hotel Sydney Airport is also going to upgrade all the TV's which mean that there will be 269 TV's spare.  We work closely with charities, especially the local ones and when we found out there would be spare TV's we contacted them to see if they need TV's . We now have a schedule to deliver these TV's to a few different charities starting around May.  More information on that one closer to the date!  Jack Baban- Marketing Executive - [The Moel Comments - well done Jack, the Mercure Sydney Airport, Rydges North Sydney and all the others who are thinking positively and creatively about where and to who they offer former hotel equipment.  Come on industry, what about some more creative responses and suggestions of how you are helping others?  Let The Mole have them and we promise we will report on them!]
