Luxury hotel collection enters preferred vendor agreement with the world’s largest digital newsstand
VANCOUVER, BC, Canada – January 19, 2023 – PressReader is pleased to announce that it has been selected as a digital news platform provider for The Leading Hotels of the World (LHW). LHW is the largest collection of independent luxury properties, with more than 400 member hotels in over 80 countries.
PressReader is now part of LHW’s Leading Strategic Sourcing (LSS) program, spearheaded by LHW and DayBlink GPO. The program offers a strategic group purchasing program for LHW’s portfolio of global, independent hotels. The program serves members by helping them capture new demand, access innovative sales, marketing and technology solutions to empower their success, and drive value to hotels in other strategically important categories.
Digital transformation is an important focus for LHW’s membership, with senior leadership at the collection now working towards delivering a technology stack that member hotels can leverage to drive their digitization.
“We’re proud to provide LHW members with a digital amenity like no other,” says Ruairí Doyle, CEO of PressReader Group of Companies. “PressReader allows independent hoteliers to offer their guests a wide selection of top publications without all the added work of selecting, purchasing and distributing hard copies of publications.”
PressReader is the largest all-you-can-read platform of newspapers and magazines; now guests at LHW member hotels will be able to discover relevant and trusted content from more than 120 countries in over 70 different languages.
“Hotels can also use the platform to share pertinent information with guests, including room-service menus, house rules, and announcements,” Doyle says. “This enables the hotel to operate more sustainably while also streamlining its operations.”
