Berjaya Hotels to provide 'handy' to all guests

Berjaya Hotels & Resorts (BHR) will provide complimentary use of smartphones in all their properties.

They are calling the service ‘handy’ and will be the first hotel group in Malaysia to offer such a service.

With ‘handy,' BHR guests can make unlimited local and international calls.

Besides voice calls, users can get unlimited data to surf the internet, download their favourite apps and stay connected via social media.

Additionally, ‘handy‘ also includes details of the services available at the hotels, with destination-specific content such as information about nearby tourist attractions and other places of interest.

'Handy‘also features brand promotions and offers available nearby.

On top of these, guests can easily differentiate ‘handy‘ from their own smartphones as it will be housed in a customised BHR branded phone casing.

BHR Chief Executive Officer Hanley Chew said “we are proud to be the first hotel group in Malaysia to provide 'handy' services to our hotel guests.

"With this feature, our in-house guests do not have to buy a local SIM card to stay connected with their families and friends abroad”.

He added that guests “can use the ‘handy’ smartphone for navigation and surfing the internet for free”.

Berjaya Times Square Hotel Kuala Lumpur will be the first hotel in Malaysia to provide ‘handy’ services, with other participating BHR properties include ANSA Kuala Lumpur, Berjaya Penang Hotel, Berjaya Waterfront Hotel, Berjaya Langkawi Resort, Berjaya Tioman Resort, The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort and Redang Island Resort.

Other overseas BHR properties that will provide 'handy' services include Berjaya Makati Hotel, Berjaya Colombo Hotel, Berjaya Eden Park Hotel London and The Castleton Hotel.
