Amsterdam, the Netherlands/ London, United Kingdom - Ramada Jarvis Hotels has unveiled the latest Flat TV based advanced entertainment and internet platform across 43 UK hotels, delivering the ultimate in-room guest experience to 5,200 rooms. The implementation, delivering a superb range of entertainment and internet services from hotel technology specialist Quadriga, will equip all Ramada Jarvis’ hotel rooms with the latest Philips FlatTVs as part of a 47 million UK-wide modernisation programme designed to provide the ultimate guest experience.

The 23-inch FlatTVs are also HD-ready, ensuring Ramada Jarvis will be able to take full advantage of the next generation of broadcasting technology.



The introduction of Quadriga’s Genesis digital-IP in room system provides a unique array of guest services including the latest blockbuster movies and popular music selections available on-demand, so guests can watch and listen to what they want, when they want. Guests will also benefit from Internet on TV as well as high speed internet access from a secure wired connection in every room, delivered via a partnership with SolutionInc, a leader in internet provisioning, management and billing.



Drawing on its long heritage in delivering cutting-edge technology to the home, Philips has a wide portfolio of customisable displays designed specifically for the hospitality market. Philips is closely partnered with Quadriga to supply customized display solutions, allowing hotels to offer advanced in-room display technology to their guests.

Ramada Jarvis Hotels will also benefit from the proven additional revenues generated by Quadriga’s Genesis solution, as well as a range of sales and marketing opportunities including the ability to promote their brand and services to guests directly in the room and the ability to offer an attractive all-inclusive service pricing offer.



“With our refurbishment program, we’re raising the bar to offer our guests the ultimate in comfort and entertainment,” said Debbie Walter, Ramada Jarvis. “Thanks to a long-standing heritage in both display technology and hospitality solutions, Philips and Quadriga delivered the ideal solutions that allow us to enhance the entertainment and information features available to hotel guests while introducing new revenue-generating service offerings.”
