Hotel Terra Jackson Hole getting HD IPTV, HD VOD
For HD junkies planning a trip out west to experience some "real powder," make sure you put Hotel Terra Jackson Hole high on your list of places to stay. The boutique facility, which is located at the stunning Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Wyoming, is currently being developed in two phases. Once finished, it will offer up 132 rooms featuring Guest-Tek's OneView Media solution, which aims to deliver an undisclosed amount of free-to-guest HD channels via IPTV alongside a nice helping of video-on-demand content. Also of note, just 72 of the guest rooms will go live with the service this Spring, while the other 60 will be wrapped up in 2010.
New York's Plaza Hotel getting 60 HD channels, not a dime cheaper
If you were sold on the fantastic HD system seen in the soon-to-open Water Club hotel in Atlantic City, NJ, you'll likely be booking your next stop to New York City at Plaza Hotel. Sure enough, Guest-Tek has been contracted to install the very same free-to-guest OneView Media Platform in the aforementioned NYC hotspot, which will soon give guests access to some 60 high-definition channels delivered via IPTV. Additionally, each of the 282 rooms will have access to a "large library" of HD video-on-demand content, and patrons can even use the AMX touch panel to "control their entertainment system, room lighting and temperature, and to order theater tickets, room service or restaurant reservations." Needless to say, we can't really see a reason to ever leave this situation until your checkout day arrives, but then again, we wouldn't want to be footing the bill for the stay, either.
The Water Club hotel signs up for HD IPTV and HD VOD
Continuing the trend of high-class hotels having a thing for high-definition is The Water Club, a signature hotel by Borgata which is set to open its doors this summer in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The $600 million master plan development will feature 800 rooms and suites, each of which will have access to free-to-guest IPTV with HD service. Additionally, patrons can look forward to an unspecified allotment of HD VOD, and if you're curious as to what they'll be enjoying said content on, a 40-inch Sony LCD TV is the answer. The 100-percent digital Guest-Tek OneView Media HD system will reportedly utilize a set-top-box that supports MPEG2, MPEG4-AVC and VC-1, and while this all sounds mighty delightful, we've no clue how many Benjamins you'll be laying down (per night) to experience this yourself. A look inside is waiting after the jump.
