The Atlantic Hotel Implements MICROS OPERA


LONDON, December 8 /PRNewswire/ --

- First Small Luxury Hotels of the World property in Europe to install
two-way interface to SLH's Central Reservation System

MICROS-Fidelio UK Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MICROS Systems, Inc. 
(Nasdaq: MCRS), a leading provider of information technology solutions for 
the hospitality and retail industries, is pleased to announce that The 
Atlantic Hotel is the first Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) property
in Europe to deploy MICROS's OPERA Xpress Property Management System (PMS).

The Atlantic Hotel, one of Jersey's finest luxury hotels which features 
breathtaking ocean views and a Michelin starred restaurant, required a PMS to 
provide increased functionality, strong flexibility, and a tangible return on 
investment. In order to increase occupancy and revenue and reduce labor 
costs, The Atlantic Hotel also required a direct interface to Small Luxury 
Hotels of the World's proprietary Central Reservations System. With the 
implementation of OPERA Xpress, The Atlantic Hotel benefits from the
automation of many of its former manual and time-consuming tasks, resulting
in increased distribution channel traffic as well as profitability.

"We strive to offer the very best service to all our guests,"
stated Patrick Burke, Managing Director of The Atlantic Hotel. "MICROS OPERA
Xpress, with its interface to our CRS, has increased our occupancy from the
day it was installed. Our guests immediately benefited from instant access to
the hotel's real-time availability."

"As a luxury hotel brand, we are always searching for technological 
advancements that improve the operational efficiency of our member hotels," 
stated Paul Kerr, Chief Executive Officer of Small Luxury Hotels of the 
World. "MICROS OPERA Xpress is one such example, and we are delighted that 
The Atlantic Hotel is the first Small Luxury Hotels of the World property in 
Europe to install the system. The benefits are clearly far-reaching and we 
will highly recommend OPERA Xpress to all of our member hotels."

"We are delighted to partner with Small Hotels of the World,"
stated Peter Edwards, Managing Director, MICROS-Fidelio UK. "The
implementation of OPERA Xpress at The Atlantic Hotel was a great success and
we look forward to deploying OPERA Xpress to other members of the Small
Luxury Hotels of the World group."
