The Hilton Sandton is in the process of introducing a new level of deluxe guest rooms for both the leisure and corporate traveller. The deluxe suites, king and twin rooms on the hotel’s second and third floors will be completed by the end of May this year.
The refurbished rooms offer new contemporary design principles with dedicated zones aimed at meeting the comfort and functional requirements of Hilton guests. Three zones divide the area into a work space, a relaxation space and a sleep/rest space.
“The concept of specifically differentiating these three spaces in the new rooms was vital to how the room came together from an installation point of view,” said Axel Hauser, General Manager of the Hilton Sandton. “Every item installed in the room was moulded to reflect the zone theory and how best each space would work for the guest.”
Hilton Sandton is also making substantial headway towards achieving its goal of reducing energy consumption by 20%. The refurbished rooms will consume 50% less energy than previously. This reduction is made possible through sealing of the windows to control temperature, compact florescent lighting and the installation of appliances in the room that draw substantially less power. The mini-bar in the room is remote controlled to run for only a few hours during the day.
The rooms offer new technologies for business travellers, allowing for guests to plug their laptop display into a data point for the flat-screen TV. This says Hauser, is ideal for business men that need to practice a presentation or would prefer to work on a bigger screen.
The rooms offers conveniences such as UK, USA and European power outlets, iron and ironing board facilities, automatic lights in the wardrobe, individual reading lights above the bed, a security safe and tea and coffee making facilities
