Welcome to the World of Bose® Hospitality Group
Hospitality may be defined as the quality or disposition of receiving and treating guests and strangers in a warm, friendly, generous way. The hospitality industry is probably the world’s fastest-growing, job-creating profession, employing one in ten people worldwide.A guest coming into a hotel is accustomed to quality sound in their lives and expects it wherever they go. A carefully designed auditory experience can add immeasurably to the image of quality and luxury you want them to remember. Bose® can custom-design an audio solution for any area of a hotel that will delight the guests and exceed their expectations for a memorable visit.
Among the many installations carried out by Bose Corporation, one of the earliest was done at an independent luxury hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Charles Hotel competes with the large chains by doing “the small things a little better.” Here, splendid accommodations and attentive service are offered with creativity and flair. The hotel is a leader in the use of sound to create a distinctive atmosphere of luxury, style and comfort.
The Charles uses Bose® equipment throughout the hotel’s facilities, from the Regattabar—voted the best jazz club in Boston—to its main restaurant, banquet rooms, casual dining rooms, pubs and common areas. The Charles was also the first hotel to equip all of its guest rooms with the Bose Professional Wave® radio.
Imagine; you reach the check in desk at the Charles Hotel. The attendant hands over you a pocket and tells you “Dear guest this contains the access key to your room and the remote control of your very own Bose music system to make your stay even more pleasurable” You enter the room and notice Bose system elegantly sitting at bedside You press the start button on the Bose Credit Card sized remote control and the Bose music system announces a personalized greeting!How’s that for a memorable experience!
With major expansion seen in the Middle East hospitality industry, an estimated US$15 billion is expected to be invested in up to 220 new hotel projects. Hotel development is set to continue across the Middle East as regional governments have long-term plans to promote their respective countries as major tourist destinations. UAE's construction spending alone is expected to increase as a result of major ongoing projects to develop infrastructure required for expansion of the tourism industry.
Hoteliers across the Middle East posted their third year of double-digit revenue per available room (revPAR) growth in 2006 according to year-end data from the HotelBenchmark Survey by Deloitte.
