Hotwire.com

Hotwire.com, the discount travel site, announced the results of the January 2010 Hotwire Hotel Rate Report. This monthly report features the top 10 cities in North America where hotel rates have dropped the most. The Hotel Rate Report helps guide customers to the destinations that will maximize their travel dollars. Philadelphia (with a 16 percent drop) replaces Houston, which moves down to number six with a 13 percent drop after being in the top spot for three months. Despite gloomy predictions for the travel industry from analysts in 2008, many hoteliers in Philadelphia and other parts of the Northeast were slow to adjust their prices to the economic climate, waiting until after January. As a result, Philadelphia tops this month's list. Newcomers Washington, D.C. and Baltimore (percentage drops of 15 and 14 percent, respectively) join mostly because of the Presidential Inauguration last year, which caused room prices to spike. Hotel inventory has normalized and, due to slow seasonal trends typical of January, hoteliers in the region have lowered rates to fill rooms. When compared to the same time last year, the top 10 hotel price reductions for January 2010 include: Philadelphia (16 percent); Washington, D.C. (15 percent); Columbus, Ohio (14 percent); Baltimore, Md. (14 percent); San Diego, Calif. (14 percent); Houston, Texas (13 percent); Miami, Fla. (11 percent); New Orleans, La. (10 percent); Orlando, Fla. (10 percent); Seattle, Wash. (9 percent). For more information, visit www.hotwire.com/hotelratereport. Jan 12, 2010

Trump International

In response to a need for improved integrated wireless coverage inside the dense walls of its 92-story infrastructure, Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago announced the installation of AT network equipment on a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) throughout the entire building. This investment greatly improves in-building coverage and offers faster data speeds on AT's 3G network for residents and hotel guests. The DAS installation -- which consists of several strategically placed antennas that distribute AT's wireless network coverage via the building's heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system -- provides more consistent voice and data coverage due to the balanced antenna placement throughout the property. The highly unique and visually unobtrusive antenna systems add capacity to give customers more uniform coverage on both 2G and 3G networks. The wireless coverage at Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago also includes network connections with Sprint, Nextel and Verizon. For room and event reservations at Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago, call 312-588-8000 or 877-458-7867 or visit www.trumphotelcollection.com. Jan 15, 2010
