Boutique lifestyle hotel brand Pentahotels is known for its unique interior designs and neighbourhood feel, but the four-star brand is hoping to up the ante with its new bedroom concept aimed at the gaming community.
PentaPlayerPad, which according to the company has been designed to feel like the “chill out area of a cool club”, features Sony Playstation 4, pinball machines, table football and free wi-fi. Guests looking to undertake an all-night gaming session will even be able to order pizzas, burgers and club sandwiches to their rooms 24/7.
PentaPlayerPad features:
- Table football
- Sony Playstation 4
- Pinball machine
- 24/7 room service
- Free wi-fi
Keys to the room will be handed out in a design-led bar, which will also be aimed towards the gaming community. The lounge has been designed to feel different to a conventional hotel reception with features such as design furniture, billiard table, pinball machine, Playstation 4.
With a relaxed atmosphere and various gaming machines, the Pentalounge is the hallmark of the hotel chain and has been designed to become a “hotspot” for gamers both during the day and at night.

Alastair Thomann, managing director of Pentahotels, said: “With the PentaPlayerPad we are looking to further expand our position as a key trendsetter in the innovative hotel segment and to strengthen our brand positioning.
“The feedback from our customers has been extremely positive and thus, we are working on equipping more of our 5,086 rooms worldwide with gamer consoles and similar gadgets. The goal is to have all Pentahotels equipped with the new pads by 2017.”
The concept has so far been launched in the company’s Brussels, Liège and Paris properties, but will be rolled out to hotels worldwide by 2017. It is expected that this will also include the company’s six UK properties in Birmingham, Derby, Inverness, Ipswich, Reading and Warrington.
