Hyatt Hotels worldwide will start offering free wifi to all guests starting in February 2015. Travelers will be able to access free wifi on an unlimited number of mobile devices or laptops in Hyatt-branded hotel guest rooms and lobbies.
“Internet connectivity is no longer an amenity. It has become an integral part of travelers’ daily lives and a basic expectation,” said Kristine Rose, vice president of brands for Hyatt. “Travelers shouldn’t have to remember which brands or locations offer it for free or the strings attached to get it.”
Unfortunately, many hotels still charge for wifi access and travelers are responding with their wallets by opting not to stay at these hotels. The first hotel chain to offer free wifi was the Radisson which has been giving free broadband interet access to their guests since 2005.
