When it introduces iPads to each of its eleven luxurious rooms and modernist villa over the coming months, Ellerman House in Cape Town will become the first hotel in South Africa to offer the new technology for guest use.

The move comes as part of the hotel’s drive to enhance the guest experience through contemporary themes, bespoke luxury experiences and new technology.

The iPads will give guests uninterrupted internet access; the chance to read their favourite books and magazines online; up-to-date information on Cape Town’s latest restaurant openings, events and activities; and real time hotel updates such as interactive room tours, virtual tours of the hotel’s world renowned art collection and unique music compilations, tailored to guest’s preferences.

Apple’s iPad is fast becoming an indispensible item within the gadget market and a useful tool in the hospitality industry due to both its numerous practical uses and leading entertainment.
