    All guest rooms and suites now feature flat screen high-definition televisions on which guests will find Voom’s thematic programming and two additional custom HD channels-Wine & Beverage and Fitness & Yoga-developed by Tangerine.

    “Voom HD content is custom-tailored to meet the discriminating tastes of the clientele served by Tangerine Global’s luxury hotelier partners,” said Rainbow senior vice president business development Glenn Oakley. 

    “We look forward to working with Tangerine to provide a superb entertainment experience for the Mandarin Oriental’s guests, while they expand our offerings to other five-star properties as well,” he added.

    Tangerine Global CEO Stuart Levin adds, “The innovations made to The Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong are awe-inspiring, making it truly the perfect setting in which to enjoy Voom HD’s top-of-the-line programming.”
