Curator Hotel & Resort Collection has entered into a strategic partnership with PressReader, an all-you-can-read digital newsstand, to offer hotel guests complimentary access to thousands of newspapers and magazines worldwide during their stay.
“Curator member hotels and resorts that are already working with PressReader today have been able to provide their guests with unlimited access to popular publications and news during their stay,” said Brent Hayhurst, VP, program development, Curator Hotel & Resort Collection. “In addition to guest conveniences, hotels can benefit from promoting an environmentally sustainable publication platform. Through this partnership, our members will have access to the proven advantages of the PressReader platform with a competitive annual service fee that fits the size and scale of their property as well as guest readership data and reporting dashboard.”
PressReader’s platform can integrate into guest experience offerings at Curator member properties, providing guests access to more than 7,000 publications covering a wide range of topics, including business, travel, fashion, sports and more.
“Partnering with Curator Hotel & Resort Collection is a natural fit for PressReader,” said Steve Chapman, SVP, sales, PressReader. “From printing digitally delivered, same-day newspapers 25 years ago to a curated digital collection of the world’s leading newspapers, magazines and eBooks today, our goal has always been to enhance the guest experience with stories that inspire. We are committed to supporting the excellence that luxury properties bring to every stay, and in partnership with Curator, we can do just that.”
The digital library will be accessible to guests during their stay via participating hotels’ WiFi networks, allowing them to browse newspapers and magazines in multiple languages through the PressReader app or website.
