“The reason we chose Teledex is that it is the most recognized and popular brand of hotel phones.”
Teledex E Series hotel phones have been selected for the new Galaxy Macau Phase 2 expansion. New hotels included in the Galaxy Macau complex include the 1015-room JW Marriott, expected to open May 27, 2015, and the 254-room Ritz-Carlton, opening in August 2015. The phone of choice for the Phase 2 expansion is the Teledex E203 two-line analog cordless speakerphone, which was selected for both the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels.
“Teledex E Series hotel phones deliver the features the Galaxy Macau needs for its guests and delivers a perfect combination of utility and style, says Tony Xu, Vice General Manager of Sales, Cetis Greater China. “The Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels may program the E Series guest service keys to instantly dial for hotel amenities, and the customized faceplates match the property’s brand identity,” he adds.
According to Derek Cheong, Senior Manager of Networks and Telecommunications, Galaxy Macau, “Reaching a final decision on phone sets took some time, however, through our repeated comparison, we selected Cetis from among many competing hotel phone brands. The reason we chose Cetis is that they are the most recognized and popular brand in the field of hotel phones, and because Cetis phones were also deployed at the Phase 1 of Galaxy Macau where we were very satisfied with Cetis products and services. Furthermore, we prefer the design appearance of E Series which is quite exquisite and a perfect complement to the style of our hotel guest rooms,” he concludes.

E Series cordless hotel phone.
Originally designed to meet the limited space and energy requirements aboard cruise ship cabins, E Series micro-footprint phones are 40% smaller than standard guestroom phones, saving space on the desk or nightstand and requiring less material – resulting in a more eco-friendly hotel phone option.
E Series hotel phones are available in single and two-line, analog, VoIP, corded, and cordless configurations. Engineered specifically for hospitality applications, E Series phones feature patented OneTouch voicemail technology for hands-free auto-dialing and retrieval, up to 12 guest service keys, and customizable faceplates. Each cordless base unit supports multiple RediDock remote cordless handsets in the room. Teledex AutoSync technology automatically syncs RediDock remote handsets with the base and helps reduce hotel maintenance staff time to switch out handsets for rotation.

Hotel Investment Tops $30 Billion in 2014; Average Per Room Cost was $156,002, up 20.6% YOY.
March 9, 2015, Portsmouth, NH – Lodging Econometrics reports that In 2014 total investment in the lodging industry was an estimated $30.8 billion. Of the 1,292 hotels that were transacted 935 reported a selling price into the public domain. The average selling price per room for those hotels was $156,002, up a dramatic 20.6% Year-Over-Year (YOY). The healthy increase in selling prices is due to record-setting hotel revenues and profits, low interest rates and the availability of attractive financing terms. LE foresees selling prices continuing to accelerate for the next several years as hotel performance continues to shine in the absence of any significant new supply. A critical part of the equation is that interest rates, although expected to rise, still remain attractive causing competition to intensify for prized single assets and portfolios.
In 2014 a total of 1,292 hotel assets transacted or transferred ownership. Since the bottoming in 2009 of 528 transactions, total transaction volume over the last five years has ranged between 1,261 and 1,457 hotels. It is a narrow range far distant from the 3,218 transactions and transfers reported in 2007.
In 2014 there were 799 single-asset transactions and another 481 hotels that changed ownership as part of a portfolio sale. A mere 12 hotels were recorded as part of merger activity. It is thought that any significant industry-wide consolidation of companies and brands may still be at least two years away, after the expansion phase of the current real estate cycle concludes and the maturity phase begins in 2017.

Value Of The Guest Room Phone.
Teledex M Series OneTouch voicemail retrieval.
|
Voicemail
Hotel phones are a source of convenience for guests. Patented Cetis OneTouch™ voicemail retrieval technology is a standard feature available on Scitec, Teledex, and TeleMatrix one and two-line speakerphones that effectively eliminates calls to the front desk from guests who are unable to access their voicemail messages. A single touch of the blinking red voicemail key auto-dials the guest’s voicemail, giving guests the ability to check their messages hands-free. And because it is intuitive, and easy-to-use, OneTouch™ voicemail also encourages guests to utilize the guest service keys on the in-room telephones, which can generate increased telecom-related revenue for hotel properties.
