Conrad Hotel Creates App, Offers Wi-Fi for High-End Guests

The Conrad New York, a lower Manhattan luxury hotel, is using technology and beefing up its Wi-Fi service to enhance its reputation among contemporary travelers. The Hilton-branded hotel, located off the Hudson River in Battery Park City, is giving guests the power to request hotel services without dialing the front desk from a traditional phone.

Guests at the Conrad can request hotel services from their iPhone and iPad during their stay at the property on- and off-site once the room is booked. The new-age spin on luxury hotel services is packaged in its concierge application. Guests can request towels, make spa appointments and order breakfast, airport pickup and other services from the app.
