Pan Pacific Hotel Seattle Connects With CondoInternet.net

SEATTLE, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- As the emerging technology hub of Seattle, South Lake Union is home to the headquarters of Amazon.com, numerous biotech companies and one of the West Coast's most wired hotels. Recognizing the ever growing need for additional bandwidth, Pan Pacific Hotel Seattle now provides visitors complimentary access to the fastest internet service provider in the country to supplement the hotel's other tech offerings.

"Our guests want the option to be connected whether they are traveling for business or pleasure. We recognize hotel internet connections, and unexpected internet connection fees, are a point of frustration for travelers," said Kini Parente, Director of Sales and Marketing. "Connecting with CondoInternet.net positions the property to set an industry standard and provide the best service available to our residents and guests."

Historically, hotels have struggled to keep up with growing demand for bandwidth for guests and conference attendees. As the popularity of file sharing, smart phones, VoIP phone calls and video streaming increases, hotels are often unable to provide the bandwidth and connectivity speed expected.

According to Speedtest.net, Pan Pacific Hotel Seattle now offers a complimentary ultra-high speed 100 megabit/second internet access to guests through the country's fastest internet service provider, CondoInternet.net. Condointernet.net provides services to the most select properties in Seattle, among these are the 2200 Westlake Plaza and Pan Pacific Hotel Seattle. For meetings and events Condointernet.net can on short notice provision competitively priced connectivity for up to one gigabit per second (1000 megabits) if a client so required this kind of access. As one of only two hotels in Seattle served by CondoInternet.net, Pan Pacific Hotel Seattle has a distinct advantage over competitors when it comes to providing bandwidth for technology-intensive events.

"Reliability and bandwidth are extremely important for business travelers and those attending events at our hotel," said David Sullivan, General Manager Pan Pacific Hotel Seattle. "Guests often need to stream video, collaborate online, and share large files and the hotel is now equipped to meet and exceed the demands of even the most technology-intensive events."

Boasting the latest in business and entertainment technology, Pan Pacific Hotel Seattle's amenities include complimentary wired and wireless broadband connectivity throughout the entire property; a flexible in-room workspace with easy to access plugs; iHome docking stations, electronic private bars, plasma TVs featuring Kool Connect technology, which allows guests enjoy high definition movies or listen to more than 40 satellite radio channels from around the world.
