The pilot programme commences in the first quarter of 2024 and will roll out across the company’s portfolio of hotels later in the year.

Using an Amazon Echo Show 8 device in their rooms, guests can receive answers to commonly asked questions regarding the property and locale, order food, call the front desk, request housekeeping, make reservations and more.

The programme includes a customised chatbot experience that will launch on the company’s website, as well as social media channels focused specifically on pre-and post-stay with the goal of increasing direct bookings and eliciting positive reviews.
