Simplify the way
you deliver newspapers
Providing newspapers to guests is one of the daily challenges faced by hotel staff. It takes time and effort to select and purchase the newspapers guests want. It’s also time-consuming to distribute them, and it takes extra effort to make sure they are recycled and disposed of properly, especially when you are short-staffed.
PressReader can relieve your staff’s stress and frustration by giving them an easier way to provide newspapers to guests.
- Replace the daily work of providing newspapers with a one-time setup.
- Give guests instant access to the latest newspapers and magazines.
- The biggest titles, unlimited quantities, no paper clean-up.

It would be impossible to provide every title your guests want to read in print, and even more difficult still to manage all the necessary delivery and recycling logistics.
Going digital means you get to offer more selection for your guests — effortlessly.
Right away! Our publishing partners send us their titles to feature on PressReader as soon as they’ve been approved and sent to print. So you’re getting your hands on content in real-time, even before it hits the newsstands.
As a digital platform that distributes content to every corner of the world, we offer different content to different countries due to locations-specific licensing agreements. It’s for the same reason that some of your favorite streaming platforms have to limit which content appears in which countries. For example, someone in London will have different content options than someone in New York — because every region has its own ever-changing distribution rights. This is to ensure our publishers maintain control over the work they work so hard to create.
Yup! Offer an annual, unlimited subscription to PressReader for your top tier guests as a one-of-a-kind loyalty benefit. Annual subscriptions allow you to reward these valuable customers with continuous access to PressReader’s full catalog, while creating a new direct marketing channel to target specific offers to these loyal customers.
