Media One Hotel turned to Hoteza to give guests more control over their stay: from mobile key access to in-room TV and digital menus. The platform made the guest journey seamless and reduced reliance on phone calls to the front desk.
Why it matters: As hospitality shifts toward digital-first engagement, guests now expect instant, contactless service without losing personalization. Media One Hotel shows how one platform can streamline operations, cut call volumes, and set a new standard for efficient, guest-focused urban hospitality.
  • Media One Hotel uses Hoteza’s solutions to let guests access services through the mobile app or in-room TV without calling reception. Guests can unlock rooms with a mobile key, order food, browse multilingual menus, and request amenities like water or towels. All requests are routed directly through MessageBox to the appropriate department, reducing operator calls and allowing staff to focus more on service. At the same time, the hotel benefits from precise tracking of requests and better visibility into daily operations.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Media One Hotel aimed to streamline guest communication, alleviate staff pressure, and provide a modern, contactless guest experience that retained personalization.
  • Reduce Call Volumes: Guests often called the reception for simple requests such as water, towels, or dining orders. The hotel wanted to digitize these processes to lower the operator workload and free up staff.

  • Unify Communication: Fragmented requests across multiple channels slowed service. Media One Hotel sought a single platform to centralize interactions and route them directly to the right department.

  • Modernize Guest Journey: With rising demand for contactless, multilingual, and eco-friendly services, the hotel aimed to introduce mobile keys, digital menus, and paperless solutions without losing the human touch.
