Philips named global TV supplier to Accor

Philips has supplied its dedicated range of Hotel TVs to Accor hotels around the world since 2006, enabling guests to enjoy a great viewing experience. They have recently introduced a new range of TVs – including EasySuite, PrimeSuite, and Signature – to the hospitality industry bringing the in-home cinematic viewing experience to business and leisure travellers.

“We focus our innovation on creating the very best picture and sound experience, and this agreement reinforces our leadership in TV – today, and for the future,” comments Robert Smits, General Manager Television, Philips Consumer Lifestyle. “We’re also at the forefront of delivering energy efficient TVs, enabling customers such as Accor to make significant savings over each television’s lifetime.”

Accor’s Technology Procurement Director Christophe Causero, adds: “Across our portfolio of hotels we want to make it easy for our guests to bring their own content and enjoy it in their rooms, as well as to find their favourite TV channels away from home. By providing a comprehensive service designed around our needs, Philips enables us to focus on our guests.”

The value of the agreement, which begins in January 2011, was not disclosed.
