Mumbai : Sheraton Hotels & Resorts has unveiled a new online experience for guests designed by Microsoft's new decision engine, Bing, featuring intuitive tools.

Designed as a social, interactive online global destination, the new 'Sheraton Guest Portal powered by Bing' will be featured worldwide in the 'Link@SheratonSM experienced with Microsoft' in addition to in-room web access. As part of the brand's USD six billion revitalisation effort, Sheraton Hotels has redesigned nearly 400 lobbies worldwide with the addition of its innovative Link@Sheraton experience with Microsoft, a unique lobby lounge that enables travellers' access to information and technology for work, leisure and social networking.

According to the company release, the new portal was specially designed to provide guests with an intuitive, tailored on-line experience specific to their destination - like having a personal concierge. As part of the new online experience, guests will find constantly updated relevant content, specific to each Sheraton location, such as local maps and the top search results for area restaurants, attractions, special events and services. The new portal uses a mix of rich imagery with a dashboard of dynamic tools that aggregates the top items requested from the concierge and makes them easy to find. Guests will be able to print a boarding pass, find the nearest entertainment and must see sites, get local weather forecast, read top news stories of the day or discover more about their hotel, such as the restaurant hours and spa offerings.
