The Marco Polo hotels in Hong Kong consider the Philippines a key market and want to provide Filipinos their best stay in the cosmopolitan city with several new perks and offerings.
Philippine travelers staying at the Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel, Gateway Hotel, and Prince Hotel get a complimentary service in the form of a handy smartphone that provides free calls within Hong Kong and to their country. Unlimited complimentary calls to China, Japan, United States, and United Kingdom are also available.
Sonny Ang, Marco Polo Hong Kong head of sales and marketing, said the phones are found in all rooms of the three hotels and come bundled with unlimited mobile internet, instant access to hotel concierge, popular social media apps like Facebook and WeChat, and dining and city guide. It can be turned into a Wi-Fi hotspot that other mobile devices can connect to.
Business and other travelers are assured that they get incoming room calls wherever they are in Hong Kong through the handy phone, he added. Guests can call the hotel concierge while they’re out exploring to arrange such personalized services as transportation or travel tips.
The Marco Polo Hotels-Hong Kong led by general manager James Ong hosted a dinner at the Blu Bar and Grill of Marco Polo Plaza Cebu last October 9 to present new offerings and packages. He was accompanied by Ang and Director of Communications Samantha Poon.
