German-based Pentahotels has announced the launch of a “gamer’s paradise” room concept, which it will bring to the UK next year.
The new category of rooms, named PentaPlayerPad, have been designed to feel like the “chill out area of a cool club” and will feature Sony Playstation 4, pinball machines, table football and free Wi-Fi.
The concept, which has been launched in the company’s Brussels, Liège and Paris properties, will be rolled out to hotels worldwide by 2017.
Alastair Thomann, managing director, 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 5086 rooms worldwide with gamer consoles and similar gadgets. The goal is to have all pentahotels equipped with the new pads by 2017.”
Pentahotels currently operates six UK hotels in Birmingham, Derby, Inverness, Ipswich, Reading and Warrington.
