- Country: Switzerland
- Industry: Hospitality
- Solution: Autonomous Network
Astra Hotel Vevey is a family owned and managed four-star hotel located in the Montreux Riviera and Lavaux region of Switzerland. With over 100 rooms and suites, Astra Hotel offers a wide range of business and conference facilities, the historical Brasserie La Coupole 1912 and breath-taking panoramic rooftop amenities.
As part of its ongoing efforts to continuously enhance the guest experience, the hotel needed to replace its legacy guest Wi-Fi service with a future-proof, high speed solution. ALE and swisspro Solutions get together to deliver modern, reliable guest Wi-Fi using Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess® Stellar Access Points.
