San Jose, Calif. -- Bittel's new JACOB JENSEN™ HT series trimline guestroom phone has been chosen as a standard for the U.S. launch of the urban lifestyle brand AC Hotels by Marriott. The first AC Hotels by Marriott opened in New Orleans in November at the Cotton Exchange Building and features the Bittel HT20 phone. The AC Hotels by Marriott Kansas City (Mo.) Westport will follow suit when it opens next month, and installations will continue at properties in Miami and Chicago early this year. More than 30 AC Hotels by Marriott are scheduled to open within the next three years throughout the U.S. and Latin America, and each will feature the Bittel JACOB JENSEN™ HT series phone.

With an emphasis on style and a small footprint at the bedside, the JACOB JENSEN™ by Bittel series is everything that designers of AC Hotels by Marriott wanted and more.

"When a lifestyle brand such as AC Hotels by Marriott selects a product based on its design merit, it speaks volumes," said Joe Zhang, Bittel CEO. "The JACOB JENSEN™ by Bittel series is ideal for design-conscious hotel brands. AC Hotels by Marriott was created by Spanish Hotelier Antonio Catalan and inspired by the runways and fashion houses of Milan. Each guestroom features simple, clean and crisp lines, sophisticated European style and a distinctly urban feel. Likewise the HT20 guestroom phone, which was created by a Danish design powerhouse, features a simple, clean design with crisp lines. This modern unit is so streamlined, that it contains the keypad within the handset."

Designed specifically for the hotel space, JACOB JENSEN™ HT20 was originally developed in Denmark through a close partnership between Bell Xpress A/S and the Jacob Jensen Design Studio. As of May, Bittel has been named the exclusive manufacturer for the hospitality market.

The JACOB JENSEN™ HT20 is everything that today's hotel designers dream of for in-room equipment. To blend the device with room decor, the phone's back plate (pictured below in silver) is also available in gold, bronze or black. The HT20 handset can be freestanding or mounted on the wall.

Bittel's JACOB JENSEN™ HT20 features:

  • Sleek small footprint
  • Single Line Trimline
  • Keypad in Handset
  • Flash, Redial and Volume Control
