InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong offers newspapers at the press of a button

InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong is leading the way providing guests with World News, through their partnership with NewspaperDirect.

The newly implemented guest service forms part of the Six Continents Hotels reshaping initiative known as "Global Connections - World News". This service enhancement will provide guests with access to a wide range of international newspapers, printed for them by the Business Centre (on a double-sided A3 format) and delivered to their room on the same day as the issue.

Commenting about the new guest service, Sharon Garrett, Director of Communications said:

"NewspaperDirect enables us to provide our international guests with the latest issue of their favourite newspaper from around the world, making them feel in contact with their business and private lives at home. It is a wonderful service to have available for our guests."

InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong is one of the first Hong Kong hotels to install a dedicated Printstation, which allows the hotel staff to set-up and manage newspaper orders for the guests. Newspaper orders are automatically sent to the printstation at the newspaper's time of issue, so hotel guests can always receive the most up-to-date issue of their favourite newspaper title. Each newspaper can also be personalized with a guest name. 

Currently, the NewspaperDirect service can provide more than 150 newspaper titles from 25+ countries through its Internet-based system. (Note title availability is subject to publisher restrictions.) Among the newspapers available are internationally recognized titles such as the USA Today, Wall Street Journal, New York Post, International Herald Tribune, Mainichi Shimbum, Neue Zurcher Zeitung and El Pais.

InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong is offering the World News service for HK$40 per newspaper title. Six Continents Club Members receive a complimentary newspaper of their choice every day of their stay.
