Hotel Mobile News for Marriott and Four Seasons

A couple of posts in a similar vein came on to my radar today and are worth reading.

First up is more news on Marriott that continues to make waves in mobile this time with Netflix:

Here is a snippet from that piece:

Select hotels will allow guests to use Netflix by signing into their existing accounts through the Netflix app on the Internet-connected televisions. Guests can also sign up for a new subscription if they don't already have one.

Next up is Four Season taking mobile to the luxury market globally:

Here is a snippet from that piece:

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is encompassing the entire consumer journey in its long-awaited, portfolio-wide mobile application.

From bookings to in-room requests, the app rapidly changes how Four Seasons guests will use mobile. The luxury hotel sector is not known for mobile mastery, so the new app propels Four Seasons to among the top in the field.

Hotels and mobile.  A good fit.

Happy Reading,
