like at your property? The San Francisco JW
Marriott’s meeting spaces are equipped with the
latest and greatest in technology: interactive
whiteboards, smart boards, and AV controls with
in-wall touch panels,
If you want to make sure your millennial planner’s
attendees stay engaged (versus worrying about
a dead cellphone battery or a lack of a charging
cord), the Kimpton Ink48 Hotel in New York
City has amenities for every tech woe. They can
easily loan out charging cords, mifis, and portable
speakers to attendees and hotel customers alike.
With all that technology, there’s sure to be a tech
inquiry so the Ink48 Hotel also has an on-site
Tech Butler to assist with tech needs.
Your hotel marketing efforts don’t seem so
daunting after all when you take a look at the
unique features your property has to offer. By
weaving in visuals that depict what makes your
property one of a kind, you’ll easily gain favor
with millennial planners.
