Ties That Bind 11/APR/2008
Hotels Resort To CrackBerry Intervention

For travellers who just can't leave home without their BlackBerrys™, some hotels are helping to break the habit of checking email and texting non-stop, even on vacation. Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers has a BlackBerry Check-in Program where your PDA is locked up for the duration of your stay. Meanwhile, the Hyatt chain and hotels like the Brookstreet in Ottawa are doing a booming business in specialty hand massages for weary digits. Some resorts are taking the detox idea even further. Guests at Petit St. Vincent in the Grenadines go cold turkey with a gadget-free stay. They have no internet, no television or phones. If you need something, you raise a coloured flag to summon a staff member. With the new BlackBerry 9000 series (direct competition for Apple's iPhone™) coming this summer, book your tech rehab now.
