Capital Investment News

We're delighted to announce that we invested £50 million across our hotels in 2016 and 2017, improving and upgrading areas including bedrooms, bathrooms, furnishings, air conditioning and conference and events spaces.  The investment is sure to please the one-and-a-half million sleepers who stay with QHotels each year.

Over £1 million will be spent specifically on Wi-Fi facilities, which will benefit conference and events customers by increasing the available bandwidth and access points associated with streaming and connecting multiple devices. 

Michael Purtill, Managing Director of QHotels, said: "We constantly look at ways to deliver better products and services and to continue to improve, based on our customers' feedback. The £50 million will be invested in areas specifically highlighted, such as Wi-Fi, to ensure that we continue to lead and innovate in the sector.

"We were the first large hotel group to offer Wi-Fi free for guests, but now with the demands of streaming and multiple devices we need to make sure that we not only keep pace with customer expectations but also exceed them."

If you're hosting an event at our hotels over the coming months or planning to stay rest assured: all our works are planned to minimise potential disruption to our clients and guests.  This means you may not know that work is taking place until we unveil our beautifully upgraded spaces.

Is corporate responsibility at the heart of your business?

Do your bit when it comes to green meetings and minimise your impact on our world from as little as 14p per day delegate.

QHotels are delighted to give you the opportunity to take part in a carbon offsetting initiative with your conferences, meetings and events. This involves a small contribution per delegate towards the initiative as follows:
 
Day Delegate - 14p
 
24hr Delegate - 40p
 
What is carbon offsetting?
 
Your conference can impact the environment simply by using the air conditioning during your event or even just by using electricity while you are at the hotel. Carbon offsetting balances the carbon emissions produced by an activity with equivalent reductions in carbon emissions elsewhere. These reductions are achieved through investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency or reforestation projects in the developing world, that would not have been possible without the finance generated by the sale of carbon offset credits.
 
Where does the contribution go?
 
We have teamed up with Carbon Clear (find out more about Carbon Clear HERE), a world-leader in carbon management. Carbon Clear then use the contribution to put towards projects that have a positive impact on the environment.
 
What initiative will you be contributing towards?
 
All contributions made through QHotels will go towards the Kibale National Park Reforestation in Uganda. The project contributes to climate change mitigation by sequestering greenhouse gases in existing forest sinks and increasing natural tree cover, through the planting of indigenous trees species and assisted natural regeneration of existing forest.
 
How do you take part?
 
We have added a tick box on to our online enquiry form, so if you wish to take part in this fantastic cause, simply tick the box upon initial enquiry. We will then issue your proposal with the total contribution highlighted separately on the final invoice. Taking part in the scheme allows you to negate carbon emissions produced by your delegates when travelling to a conference, meeting or event at QHotels as well as during their stay with us.

Independent Assurance:
 
This project complies with the additionality criteria established by the Clean Development Mechanism. The carbon offset credits have been verified by an accredited third party auditor and are Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) certified.

Over £2.2M invested in market-leading Wi-Fi upgrade

We know how important a good internet connection is to you when organising a conference, meeting or event.

In 2016, we invested over £2.2 million in upgrading Wi-Fi access and bandwidth across our all hotels, giving our customers a faster, more reliable connection.

As a result of the upgrade works:

• Up to 500 simultaneous connections are available at each internet access point
• Each hotel's free Wi-Fi offering has increased from a shared 8Mbps to 90Mbps
• Dedicated bandwidth capacity for conferences and events has increased from 90Mbps to up to 900Mbps

The improved service also ensures a fair-share approach to Wi-Fi access per device, ensuring each phone, laptop or tablet has an equal share of the Wi-Fi available. Hotel guests frequently have two or three connected devices each, which is why bandwidth management has been implemented.

How can dedicated bandwidth benefit my event?

As you don't have to share your internet connection with anyone else, your download speeds will not be affected by other users.

The super-fast connection makes high definition video conferencing a breeze. All presentation material can be hosted online with no risk of losing or slowing your connection and your delegates can quickly and simply download product specs, sales documents and much more at the touch of a button.

This exciting investment brings great opportunities for your meeting or event, so contact us today to find out how you can bolt-on extra bandwidth for your conference.

Fair usage policy

Our fantastic free and easy access Wi-Fi service, for all guests and visitors, was launched in July 2011, with a view to providing the best possible service to our wide range of clientele.

The last 18 months have seen an explosion of internet-enabled devices, as well as the rapid growth of applications and content that these devices can run. This has lead to occasions, during peak usage times, whereby lower-bandwidth consumers (e.g. web browsing or emailing) have been adversely affected by higher-bandwidth users (e.g. video streaming).

In view of this, QHotels have now installed a Netequalizer server to manage guest bandwidth. In essence, this means the server constantly monitors guest bandwidth usage at each hotel and if usage rises above 85% of the available capacity, the server will penalise high-bandwidth users.

Utilising this type of technology helps us to ensure each user receives a fair allocation of the available bandwidth and offer the best possible service to our customers.

Any questions about out Wi-Fi fair usage policy?  Contact us.
