Case Studies

Wifirst provides Aethos Hotels with a fully converged network that allows it to grow, at its own pace

Aethos Milan was acquired by Aethos Hotels in 2021 from an art collector (formerly The Yard); the facility had undergone several expansions over the years, and the network infrastructure went through several installation phases with additions to both space and services. As a result, a network with little logic or structure, no documentation, consisting of multiple unconnected networks was in place, with connectivity provided by two different lines, one for the hotel and one for the new restaurant. Wifirst was called on to update this infrastructure, which was no longer suited to the standards of the Aethos brand.

How Centralized Data Powers Sonesta’s Award-Winning Loyalty Program

Boston-based Sonesta International Hotels was founded nearly 100 years ago, but it was just over the past few years that Sonesta kickstarted its growth trajectory to becoming a global hotel powerhouse. Even before the acquisition of Red Lion Hotels in 2021, which added more than 1,000 franchised and managed properties and pushed Sonesta over the 1,200 properties mark, Sonesta had standout hotels in Los Angeles, Chicago and New Orleans, and in countries like Peru, Chile, Colombia and Egypt.
