Hotel Bel-Air Selects Bartech Minibars for its Mobil Five-Star Luxury Hotel |
|
Bartech Systems International, a premier provider of minibar solutions and the leader in automatic minibar technology, today announced that the celebrated Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles has selected Bartech minibars for its exclusive, luxury hotel. Hotel Bel-Air is installing Bartech minibars in all of its 91 rooms and suites. |
One of only 30 hotels in the U.S. to receive the coveted Mobil Five-Star Award for superlative level of service, quality, and ambience, the Hotel Bel-Air selected Bartech's minibar for its flexibility, unique design, and quiet operation.
"The Hotel Bel-Air is defined by its unique elegance and impeccable service, from our accommodations and lush gardens, to our fine dining - and that includes our minibars. Bartech offered the design and product display that best fit our guest needs, as well as the most quiet, unobtrusive unit," said Carlos Lopes, Managing Director of the Hotel Bel-Air. "After comparing all the alternatives available to us, we determined that Bartech offered the best product and support to ensure our award-winning level of service."
Hotel Bel-Air will use Bartech's Silent Compressor Cooling Unit, developed through eight years of extensive research and development and now deployed in hotels around the world. The Silent Compressor offers incredibly quiet operation, very high reliability and substantial energy savings, especially when compared to absorption cooling systems that are inefficient and use potentially hazardous ammonia for cooling. It includes an electrically powered compressor that pumps a "CFC-free" refrigerant through a sealed system. Audible output is minimized to a level of 24.9 dB, well below the 31 dB ambient noise level typical of hotel rooms.
"We are honored to be working with the Hotel Bel-Air and look forward to supporting its five-star initiatives with guest-focused service and technology," said Mark Holzberg, President of Bartech, The Americas.
