The Link@Sheraton experience begins as guests make their way through the hotel lobby and enter a signature designed communal lounge area. The Link features multiple internet-enabled workstations complete with free 24/7 Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, from where guests can surf the Internet, email loved ones, review local attractions and even send out electronic video postcards while relaxing with family, friends and business colleagues. To further deliver a distinctive technology enabled experience, Sheraton has partnered Microsoft to provide Windows-based computer terminals and Internet access points as well as Microsoft peripheral products.
To unveil how it helps guests make connections, the Link@ Sheraton has been brought to Pavilion, the most vibrant shopping mall in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
