London hotels go high tech to serve businessmen

NY TIMES NEWS SERVICE , LONDON

Executives who are able to eke out a few moments of leisure can choose from 60 movies on demand for ?10 each, or US$15.22, for unlimited access over a 24-hour period. Those in need of a little background music while they work can download up to 5,000 tracks (?3.50 over 24 hours), or tune into local radio stations over the Internet.

New Yorker Robert Bradford, who is a regular guest at the Dorchester, was impressed. "I've never seen anything like this in a hotel. You get local radio stations. I've been listening to TMPC in Los Angeles, and getting New York weather and the latest stock quotes from Bloomberg Radio."
