PROVENANCE HOTELS’ NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION: FREE WI-FI IN 2015
Art-filled lifestyle hotels in Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Nashville and New Orleans will
Eliminate Wi-Fi Fees for Overnight Guests on January 1, 2015.
Portland, Ore., Dec. 29, 2014 – With the New Year just around the corner, Provenance Hotels
has resolved to make working remotely and keeping in touch even easier – and less expensive –
in 2015 by eliminating Wi-Fi fees for overnight guests at Hotel Max in Seattle, Hotel Murano in
Tacoma, Portland’s Hotel Lucia, Hotel deLuxe and Sentinel, and Hotel Preston in Nashville.
Over the course of the past year, Provenance Hotels has invested hundreds of thousands of
dollars in upgrading the Wi-Fi experience at the company’s hotels with fiber optic internet to
increase bandwidth, speed and capacity. On January 1, 2015, the company will cease charging
for Wi-Fi at all its hotels so interfacing with the office and surfing the web from the comfort of a
Provenance Hotels guest room will not only be fast and efficient – it will be free, too.
“Internet access is an essential amenity and we’ve long been focused on providing the fastest,
most reliable service available to our guests,” said Bashar Wali, President of Provenance Hotels.
“Making it available free of charge is the natural next step in our commitment to keeping
travelers who stay at our hotels connected.”
Seattle’s Hotel 1000, which already provides guests with free Wi-Fi, joined the Provenance
Hotels family in July 2014. Wi-Fi will also be free at the company’s Old No. 77 Hotel &
Chandlery, which is slated to open in the heart of New Orleans’ Arts District in spring 2015.

PROVENANCE HOTELS REV UP GREEN TRAVEL WITH ZIPCAR AND TESLA
Guests in Portland, Seattle and Tacoma save on car sharing and charge electric cars for free.
November 11, 2014 – Portland, Ore. – Provenance Hotels, with six locations in Washington and Oregon,
is raising the bar on sustainable travel by partnering with the experts in car sharing services and electric
vehicle technology – Zipcar and Tesla Motors – to make it even easier and more affordable for guests to
use alternative transportation when visiting the eco-conscious cities of Portland, Seattle and Tacoma.
Provenance Hotels’ art-filled hotels are conveniently located downtown within steps of each city’s light
rail routes, making them the perfect getaways for those who want to go car free. When guests who are
Zipcar members need or want to venture further, Zipcar, the world’s leading car sharing network, is a
cost-effective and sustainable membership based option for exploring with plenty of vehicles
conveniently parked close to hotels. To incentivize guests to try car sharing by becoming new Zipcar
members, Zipcar and Provenance Hotels have partnered to offer $50 in free driving credit when
travelers sign up for Zipcar’s Occasional Driving Plan or a Monthly Rate Plan of $6/month. Guests who
are already Zipcar members can enjoy $15 in free driving. For more information please visit,
www.zipcar.com/provenancehotels.
Two new Zipcars – a BMW X1 and a Cadillac ATS – have checked in at Hotel deLuxe. Parked in the hotel’s
lot, they are available for Zipcar members to use 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Reservations can be
made easily and quickly via the Zipcar app on members’ smartphones, online or by phone. Zipcar
discounts for guests of Provenance Hotels can be accessed through the hotels’ websites and links
included in guest reservation confirmations. Guests signing up for Zipcar must apply online for
membership prior to their stay and have their Zipcard on hand for their reservation.
For those who prefer to bring along their own eco-friendly electric vehicles, Provenance Hotels has
partnered with Tesla, the world leader in electric vehicle technology, to install two Tesla high power
connectors and one standard electric vehicle charger in each of the parking garages at Hotel Max in
Seattle, Hotel Murano in Tacoma and Hotel deLuxe in Portland. These EV and Tesla charging stations are
available to both hotel guests and for public use with no extra charge beyond standard parking fees.
Tesla owners can easily locate these chargers using the Tesla navigation app on their smartphone phone
or in-car display. Tesla charging stations will also be added to Hotel 1000 in Seattle in the near future.

When hunger strikes, Provenance Hotels’ pet room service menus are packed with tasty treats designed
with pets’ nutritional needs in mind. Dishes featured on the pet room service menus vary by hotel and
