Ibis Singapore on Bencoolen has introduced a new service that provides guests with unlimited 3G internet, local and international calls (to selected cities – see below), and a comprehensive city guide to the island state.
Known as “handy”, the new smartphone service is free for guests staying in the hotel. As part of the property’s sustainability initiative, the phone can also be taken outside of the premises and used throughout the guest’s stay to cut down on unneccessary printing.
The Singapore guide is particularly useful, as it provides easy navigation to the city’s best attractions, bars, restaurants and activities.
"We are leading the way in offering guests greener and environmentally friendlier amenities. With handy, we are able to inform and stay in touch with guests through an innovative smartphone platform that is integrated with our hotel features. We look forward to achieving significant reductions in printing and paper waste through the handy phone, our new form digital communication channel,” said general manager, Pierre-Etienne de Montgrand.
Unlimited international calls apply to the following countries:
1 Australia 15 Malaysia
2 Bangladesh 16 Netherlands
3 Brunei 17 New Zealand
4 Canada 18 Puerto Rico
5 China 19 Russia
6 France 20 South Korea
