Powerdesks are profitable assets that can increase customer satisfaction, become part of the aesthetic appeal of your hotel and provide an ergonomic, safe computing space which is virtually impossible to damage or steal.
Whether you install Powerdesks in public spaces or guest bedrooms they will maximise available space, work with your decor and provide your guests and staff with impressive IT and entertainment facilities. A guest room Powerdesk can combine all in-room technology such as Internet access, CD, DVD and TV in one piece of stylish, durable furniture.
Install Powerdesks in public areas and your public access computers will enhance rather than ruin the look of your space. And with no trailing cables and clumsy PC towers for customers to get tangled in, healthy and safety risks are reduced too.
We have worked with many hotels including Marriott, Hilton, SAS Radisson, Mandarin Oriental, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Kempinksi, Grosvenor House, Eton Collection, and Tylney Hall.

Business Centre
Struggling with how to provide a Business Centre for your customers without the worry of PC damage and/or theft but don’t want to lock everything in clumpy cages which restrict functionality and look unsightly? Want a showpiece rather than an unattractive but necessary offering?
As Powerdesks hide the PC (and all its wires) invisibly and safely inside the desk, the Business Centre can be constantly open without needing staff presence or cages/locks – and with the Freemote sitting ergonomically at the user’s fingertips, full PC functionality is retained.
Only have a small space? No problem – with everything tucked away inside, Powerdesks are clutter-free and space-saving – maximising revenue for a smaller footprint. And because Powerdesks can look like anything, your Business Centre can perfectly match your current décor.
Lobby
Currently it’s only really possible to offer wireless hotspots for laptop customers in hotel lobbies or other public spaces, as theft and aesthetic concerns hinder a PC solution.
Powerdesks provide the solution to these problems and allow you to: extend your business centre to the lobby; offer better customer service by allowing guests to view their bill or make reservations online; check directions or download tourist maps.
Reception
Most hotels create an attractive reception area – and then struggle to hide the clutter of PC, peripherals and wires. Often the result is a superficially attractive one where the PC is hidden away as best as possible, usually resulting in poor ergonomics for staff – or they just let it all hang out and the first impression is somewhat ruined.
Powerdesks improve aesthetics and security, and make it possible to have the PC without any compromise in the look or functionality of the reception area. Plus staff feel incentivised by their attractive, ergonomic working environment, boosting efficiency and morale.
In-Room
It’s currently very difficult to offer guests PCs in-room, due to aesthetic, space and security concerns. Powerdesk allows you to offer your guests a full in-room multimedia experience with no compromise in aesthetics and no concerns about damage to or theft of the PC.
Guests can plug in their memory stick and catch up on work, watch DVDs and play CDs through an impressive 160W sound system, hook up their MP3 player and relax to their own music, plug in a camera and admire their holiday snaps on a wall mounted plasma TV, use the Internet to explore the local area for restaurants, car hire and other amenities – or simply browse the hotel guest facilities such as spa treatments.
Offering
Whether your hotel offers customers a traditional, country house environment, an ultra-modern minimalist feel or any ambience in between, we can create Powerdesks that will fit seamlessly into your environment. Our standard ranges offer a broad choice from our traditional leather-topped wooden twin pedestal desks to the stylish simplicity of our steel, glass or Corian desks. Please contact us if you’d like a brochure emailed/posted to you.
We can also provide a bespoke service to hotels who have a certain look in mind, or specific space requirements. We can create almost anything – in marble, gold, with curves or patterns, multiple seaters, height-adjustability, ancillary furniture etc.
