Thursday, 6 September 2012 01:12 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

Avani Bentota Resort and Spa has reaffirmed its penchant for trendsetting in hospitality with its comprehensive and multi-facetted new IP TV system.

The first Sri Lankan hotel to introduce this feature to its service offering, Avani Bentota has always been known for its capacity to provide for its guests a holiday experience which is not only full of surprises and new experiences, but packed with all the features necessary to make sure guests are provided with every possible luxury and convenience.

An Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) system is one in which television services are delivered using an Internet protocol suite over a packet-switched network such as the Internet, as opposed to being delivered through traditional, terrestrial satellite signals and cable television formats.

The system in place at Avani Bentota comprises an impressive list of features, including normal TV channels, movie uploading, online radio and online weather forecasts. In addition, the system provides the option for guests to view billing, hotel guides and place room service orders.

The team at Avani Bentota is confident that this trendsetting feature is yet another hallmark in its continuing journey towards adding a little extra value to a holiday experience.

A thorough understanding of a guest’s changing needs is a prized attribute of the hotel, and the team understands that the utter relaxation and rejuvenation offered at the hotel should not only consist of unique spa and recreation experiences, but a host of entertainment choices and conveniences that are unrivalled.

For over four decades, the hotel has been a well-loved retreat, standing on the pristine beach at Bentota and comfortably fusing the quintessential grace of Dutch colonial architecture with the best luxuries of the 21st century. The 2011 refurbishment, where the hotel made the transition from Hotel Serendib to Avani Bentota Resort and Spa, underlined this unique quality.

Avani Bentota Resort and Spa is managed by Serendib Leisure Management Ltd., and jointly owned by Hemas Holdings PLC and Minor Hotel Group, and is the first international brand to be managed by a Sri Lankan company in the post-war period.
