Press Release: Oakwood Worldwide
July 4, 2002
LOS ANGELES, CA -- Oakwood Worldwide, the leading global provider of corporate housing, announced today that DVD
players are now available at its corporate housing locations throughout the United States as an optional guest
room furnishing.
"DVD players are in high demand from our clientele. We want to provide our customers with everything they
need to feel at home," says Jim Klein, President of Oakwood Worldwide.
For business and leisure travelers, Oakwood's furnished corporate housing provides a cost-saving lodging alternative
to hotels. Each Oakwood apartment comes with furniture, linens, cookware, home electronics and weekly maid service.
Guests select the furnishings (which Oakwood calls "Home Services") they wish for in each apartment;
DVD players are now a new option.
Oakwood offers high quality, continuous scan DVD players from RCA that play DVDs, VCDs and CD-R/CD-RW and MP3 discs.
Oakwood DVD player rentals cost $30 per month. These player rentals are available at Oakwood's corporate housing
in virtually every city in the U.S., including Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Miami, Houston
and Washington, D.C.
DVD players have been in particularly high demand from Oakwood's clients in the entertainment industry. Oakwood
provides temporary housing for film crews from New York to London to Los Angeles. Perhaps most well-known is the
company's Oakwood Toluca Hills property near Burbank, California, which is regarded as a "temporary home of
the stars" due to its location between Warner Bros., Disney and Universal Studios.
Oakwood Worldwide has been the leader in providing their guests with the latest conveniences in home technology
-- from when it became one of the first in the lodging industry to provide VCRs in the 1980s to its more recent
milestone of being the first in Asia to provide DVD players. Oakwood is also providing high speed Internet to its
guests in select locations worldwide.
Los Angeles-based, privately-held Oakwood Worldwide is the leading global provider of corporate housing, with locations
throughout the U.S., U.K. and Asia.
