How Zafiro Hoteles digitized its room service, restaurant management, and spa services to improve the overall guest experience

Verified case study Hotel Tech Report has reached out to hoteliers at Zafiro Hotels to verify this case study.
Zafiro is a prestigious chain of resort-style hotels in the Balearic Islands that stands out for its quality services. Providing the best possible guest experience is their top priority. This is why they have been striving to digitize their service offering for some time. As of 2018, they were one of the first chains to adopt this trend. Initially, guests were provided with information through an app. Progress in technology, however, added a technological twist.
Why it matters: Zafiro wanted to implement an app that would allow their guests to request room service and amenities using their smartphones at their hotels. Moreover, they wanted to streamline and digitize the restaurant and spa reservation system, as well as reduce paper usage.
  • Using STAY APP, they were able to develop a digital plan that met their guests' demands and set them apart from their competitors.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Zafiro’s goal was to provide a seamless digital guest experience, where guests could ask for room service, amenities, spa services, or book tables from their smartphones, all from one app; keeping all hotel information accessible in the same way.
  • Digitize their service offering: Make all hotel services digital, including room service, amenities, reservations for restaurants and spas, and hotel shows. All of this should be available on the customers' smartphones.

  • Streamline their operations: Zafiro hoteles aimed to reduce waiting times in communication with their guests, as well as in providing food and beverage services.

  • More control and sustainability: A focus on controlling its daily routines, particularly in restaurants, was a priority for Zafiro. It also aimed to reduce its paper consumption in daily operations.
