InterContinental Hotels & Resorts is testing wireless Internet options as a new offering in two of its North American properties.

The pilot program is currently in progress at The InterContinental Chicago and Houston, where the hotels are offering members of the loyalty program one free hour of service each day throughout their stay. Access is available in public spaces such as the lobby, restaurant and bar areas 24 hours a day.

Guests are able to access the Internet via their WiFi-compliant network interface cards in their laptops.

Guests can purchase additional access at the front desk. Pricing will continue to be reviewed throughout the test period.
