High-Speed Internet In All Hilton Garden Inns In 2003

BEVERLY HILLS, CA— All guestrooms in Hilton Garden Inn hotels will provide complimentary high-speed Internet access by year-end 2003. As reported previously by HOTEL BUSINESS®, the service already is offered in 60 of the 156 Hilton Garden Inn hotels currently open, and by the end of the 2003 will be provided in a total of more than 200 hotels (some currently planned or under construction) throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
