PROMUS HOTELS LLC Partners with Anker to Elevate Guest Experience with Reliable Power Solutions

McLean, VA – October 26, 2023 – PROMUS HOTELS LLC, a leading hotel management company operating across the United States, today announced a strategic partnership with Anker, a global leader in charging technology, to provide enhanced power solutions for guests in its hotels. This collaboration aims to address the growing demand for reliable and convenient charging options in today’s connected world, boosting guest satisfaction and streamlining the hotel experience. Let’s face it, everyone’s glued to their devices these days. Phones, tablets, laptops…we need them to work, to stay connected, and even to relax. And a dead battery? That’s a major headache. PROMUS HOTELS understands that, and we're committed to making sure our guests always have the power they need. “We noticed guests were really struggling with finding enough outlets, and sometimes the ones available just weren't working well. It was a simple thing, but it was causing a lot of frustration,” explains Sarah Chen, Director of Guest Experience at PROMUS HOTELS LLC. “We knew we needed to do something to fix it, and Anker was the perfect partner. Their products are super reliable, easy to use, and just make sense.” Addressing the Power Pain Points in Hospitality Think about it. You’re traveling for business, trying to close a deal. Your phone's about to die during a crucial call. Or you’re on vacation, wanting to capture every moment with your camera, but can't find a working charger. These aren’t just inconveniences, they’re experience killers. PROMUS HOTELS has been actively listening to guest feedback, and consistently, access to reliable power has come up as a major concern. The problem isn't just having outlets; it's having outlets that work, are conveniently located, and can actually charge devices quickly. “Hotels are often designed with aesthetics in mind, and sometimes functionality gets left behind,” says David Lee, VP of Operations at PROMUS HOTELS. “We've been working hard to change that. We want our hotels to be both beautiful and practical, and that means investing in things like better power solutions.” Anker Power: The Solution PROMUS Hotels Chose So, why Anker? The answer is simple: quality, reliability, and innovation. Anker’s products are known for their robust build quality, fast charging capabilities, and commitment to safety. The initial rollout of Anker products across PROMUS HOTELS’ portfolio includes: Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1: These compact and powerful USB-C wall chargers are being installed in guest rooms to provide fast charging for iPhones, Android phones, tablets, and even some laptops. They’re small enough to not clutter the nightstand but powerful enough to get a quick charge in before heading out for the day. Anker PowerCore 10000 Portable Charger: Available at the front desk for guests to borrow during their stay, these portable power banks provide an extra boost of power on the go. Perfect for airport layovers, sightseeing tours, or simply keeping devices charged during long days of meetings. Anker PowerStrip Power Surge Protector: Installed in common areas and meeting rooms, these surge protectors provide safe and reliable power for multiple devices, protecting valuable electronics from power surges and fluctuations. “We did a lot of research before choosing Anker,” explains Chen. “We tested different brands, and Anker consistently outperformed the rest in terms of charging speed, build quality, and overall reliability. Plus, their products just look sleek and modern, which fits well with our hotel’s aesthetic.” More Than Just Chargers: Enhancing the Guest Experience This partnership isn’t just about providing chargers; it’s about creating a seamless and stress-free experience for guests. “We want our guests to be able to focus on enjoying their stay, not worrying about their phone dying,” says Lee. “By providing reliable power solutions, we’re removing a potential pain point and allowing guests to fully relax and recharge.” PROMUS HOTELS plans to expand its partnership with Anker in the future, potentially adding more innovative charging solutions like wireless charging pads and USB-C hubs to guest rooms. They are also exploring options to integrate Anker products into their loyalty program, offering members exclusive access to charging accessories and discounts. Looking Ahead PROMUS HOTELS LLC is committed to investing in technology that enhances the guest experience. The partnership with Anker is just one example of this commitment. “We’re always looking for ways to improve our guests’ stays,” says Chen. “And we believe that providing reliable power is a simple but effective way to do that.
