The Cordis Shanghai Hongqiao is a modern and engaging hotel in the center of Shanghai’s commercial hub. The 396-room hotel is part of the Langham Hospitality Group’s upscale Cordis Hotels and Resorts brand. It is the first Cordis hotel to open in mainland China.
We were initially looking for separate data and voice solutions but were impressed with the benefits of the converged ALE solution. None of our other vendors could offer us such a simple, effective and economical option.
Challenges
