The Hoteza Solution
Siemlus, recognising the evolving landscape of hospitality and the Strand Palace Hotel's commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience, recommended the implementation of the Hoteza Web App Solution. The suggestion stemmed from the realisation that technology plays a pivotal role in shaping modern guest interactions and operational efficiency within the hotel industry.
Why did they choose Siemlus
In a strategic move to revolutionise guest experiences, the Strand Palace Hotel has selected Siemlus and Hoteza as their digital technology partners, and the decision is anchored in a meticulous evaluation that underscores the collective force this collaboration brings to the table. Siemlus and Hoteza's methodical demonstration showcased not only the seamless integration into the hotel's Property Management System (PMS) but also the user-friendly nature of their guest-facing app. The hotel's foremost objective was to elevate the guest experience from the moment of initial engagement, extending a seamless and enhanced encounter throughout the entire stay. This commitment was executed within budget without compromising on features or services, reflecting the hotel's dedication to delivering consistent excellence without compromising financial prudence.
The guest-facing app, praised for its user-friendly design and ease of use, offers a seamless experience through a simple QR code, providing guests with effortless access to a range of services. The strategic decision to replicate the app on both the App and Google stores enhances accessibility for a broader audience. Furthermore, the inclusion of two-way messaging, integration capabilities with third-party systems such as Oracle Cloud PMS, InfoGenesis POS, Knowcross SOS, Stripe payments, along with features like mobile check-in, automatic creation of digital guest registration cards within the PMS, and mobile check-out functionality, positions Siemlus and Hoteza as the comprehensive and forward-thinking solution that aligns perfectly with the Strand Palace Hotel's commitment to excellence.
"As the IT Director, the journey of selecting an innovative product demanded a keen understanding of various elements—features, value for money, and, crucially, the right people. The partnership between Siemlus and Hoteza has not only met but exceeded expectations on all three fronts. The entire team at Strand Palace is really excited to see how this unfolds. Here's to a new era of guest experiences at Strand.”
