Hotels/FBO's WITHOUT Free Wi-Fi

Post away people. The hotels probably won't care if they appear here but word might just filter back to the handling agents that they need to spend £15 a month.

Pay Up 4 WiFi

These "resorts" of corporate execs squeeze the last dollar out of your pockets ...

Mulino Stucky Hilton, Venice, Italy
Bloody expensive !!!!
Hilton on Ave of Americas, Manhattan, NYC

Venetian & Palazzo, Las Vegas ( how long will they last ?)
Claridges Marriott Hyde Park, London, GB
Hilton Arc de Triomph, Paris, FR
Kempinsky, Geneva, CH
Kempinsky, Brugge, BE
le Meridien, Nice, FR
Any hotel in Cypus so far. And slower then dial-up. High speed has a different definition on this island anyway...

to be continued ...

Most Hotels in Asia/ South Pacific rob you blind for this service...

Free internet in this part of the world is still a luxury...

Granted the Kempinski in GVA is an expensive place to stay in.

However they do have free wi-fi access in the bar/restaurant (2nd Floor) and reception area (1st Floor). There are also a couple of Macs in the bar area that are online 24/7 and available for guests to use.

In the last month I've stayed at the following, either no wifi or something like £15 a session,

Mercure, Anamasse Airport,
IBIS at CDG Airport,
Mercure Queens at Cheltenham.
Hotel Winkelreid at Stanstad. (at Pilatus site)

all Best Western hotels have free in the UK, don't know in Europe

Hiltons in UK (at least those I've stayed in and I imagine this would apply to all) charge £15 a day.
Many are within range of BTOpenzone who sell various vouchers, the best value probably is £39 for something like 60 hours within a month.
Travelodge - expensive
