The Westin Harbour Castle recently embraced the new Westin Haven initiative and moved their ElevenGC guest computer solution into the lobby. The Westin Haven is a public space concept inspired by nature that allows travelers to "stay balanced, refreshed and connected on the road." Read the full story about Westin's new Haven brand initiative here.

In partnership with Eleven, Westin's preferred provider of its Haven solution, the Westin Harbour Castle moved their iMac guest computers into the lobby, creating a tech oasis where guests can access email while reviving with coffee, food, or a glass of wine brought to them by helpful wait staff.

Eleven's ability to provide limited complimentary access for guests along with both credit card and bill-to-room payment options was a key factor in the hotel's careful selection of a guest computer provider. Now, The Westin Harbor Castle Haven can capture a new market of on-the-go travelers by coupling access to technology with a revitalizing atmosphere.

"The new lobby location is perfect. We already see an influx of guests consistently visiting the new Haven to check emails and look up local offerings," says Westin Harbour Castle Marketing Manager, Valerie Brive. "As we continue to update furnishings, we expect even more business from non-hotel guests who need to connect while refreshing with a bite or beverage from our café."

In an environment of constant change, The Westin Harbour Castle manages to innovate without losing sight of their gold standard of service. "With such a large amount of meeting space, they know that many attendees will be local and not necessarily staying in their hotel," commented Dan Meub, Eleven's CEO. "To create new revenue opportunities, they continue to adapt their guest computers to reflect the needs of their hotel and non-hotel guests alike. That's what makes them such a successful property."
