Caricami and Gruppo UNA: a growing partnership

Gruppo UNA has decided to increase the number of hotels equipped with Caricami charging stations for powerbank rentals. This decision, resulting from a well-established partnership and positive feedback from guests, brings an expansion of Caricami stations in major Italian cities.

The collaboration, which began as a pilot project in selected properties, has shown that the option to rent a powerbank directly from the hotel is a highly appreciated service by guests.
“Thanks to the convenience of the service, guests can pick up a powerbank at the start of their day, use it while they’re out and about, and return it conveniently when they get back to the hotel. This added service enhances the travel experience for our guests” comments Daniele Mereu, Head of Hotel Operations at Gruppo UNA.

The cities involved in the expansion

The service expansion extends to numerous properties in some of Italy’s major cities, bringing the convenience of powerbank sharing to new hotels and accommodations. The cities involved include:

  • Milan: One of the first cities to adopt the service, Milan has seen further growth with new stations at properties such as Milano Verticale | UNA Esperienze and UNAHOTELS Cusani Milano.
  • Bologna: The city adds new locations, including UNAHOTELS Bologna Fiera and UNAHOTELS San Vitale Bologna.
  • Rome: In the capital, properties such as UNAHOTELS Decò Roma and UNAWAY Hotel Empire Roma have been equipped with Caricami charging stations.
  • Turin and Florence: These cities have also seen an increase in stations at the chain’s major properties.

How the service works

Caricami’s service, integrated into the receptions of Gruppo UNA hotels, is easy and intuitive. Simply:

  • Scan the QR code to unlock your powerbank.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions.
  • Take the battery and charge your devices on the go.
  • Return the powerbank after use.

Our stations offer 5000 mAh universal powerbanks with three integrated charging cables (micro USB, Type C, and Lightning), allowing you to keep your phone charged. Once you’re done, you can return the powerbank at any Caricami station in the hotel network.

This ease of use, combined with the quality of the service, has made Caricami an ideal partner for a hotel chain that always strives for excellence and innovation.

A service that makes a difference

Caricami represents an innovation in the hospitality sector, offering a service that has become essential in our daily lives. The ability to rent a powerbank directly from the hotel not only meets a fundamental need of modern travelers but also adds a level of convenience and innovation to the services offered by Gruppo UNA, a chain already distinguished by its high-level offerings to guests.

The collaboration with Gruppo UNA, Italy’s leading hotel group, further underscores the commitment of both parties to providing services that enhance the guest experience, with a special focus on comfort and convenience. This expansion not only increases Caricami’s visibility and presence across the country but also strengthens Gruppo UNA’s reputation as a leader in the hospitality industry in Italy.
