Oslo, Norway (2015-02-25) – Norway’s only Design Hotel, The Thief, has chosen Stockholm-based InnSpire as its new interactive hospitality provider. The luxury waterfront hotel, operated by Petter Stordalen’s Nordic Hotels & Resorts, has quickly become the choice for celebrity visitors to Oslo. Every one of the hotel’s 116 bedrooms will now be equipped with InnSpire’s award-winning Guest Media Streaming feature, so guests can use their mobile devices to stream photos, videos or music of their choice directly to the TV in their room while enjoying the best of The Thief brand.

The improvements are not limited to guests’ rooms: the whole hotel is now a more digitally connected space. As InnSpire’s technology requires no apps or downloads, guests simply use their own mobile device to access hotel services over the hotel Wi-Fi. This makes it easier for guests to interact with the hotel, letting them order food and drinks, book a spa treatment or even their transfer to the airport from anywhere in the hotel.

InnSpire’s technology not only makes life easier for guests, but through the collection and analysis of real-time data it gives the hotel the information it needs to tailor its offers and services more precisely to the needs and tastes of its guests.

Dominic Gorham, Guest Relations Manager at The Thief, says: “Here at The Thief, we have made it our ambition and goal to treat rock stars as guests and guests as rock stars. This demand for quality in every aspect of the guest experience is why we chose InnSpire as our technology provider. Not only does it allow the guest to customize their stay with their own personal choice of media, but it gives us the critical information we need to further improve our offers and services.”

Martin Chevalley, CEO and Co-Founder of InnSpire, continues: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with The Thief, which has such an outstanding reputation for service and quality design. We exist to help hotels entertain better, sell more and analyse and optimise the hotel’s operations through the real-time data we collect – and we look forward to helping The Thief find new ways to make every guest’s stay special.”
