The boutique 38-room Casa Faena, part of the Accor portfolio, turned to Canary to modernize operations and enhance guest experiences — achieving a 55% increase in ancillary revenue and improved satisfaction scores.

Why it matters: Even small, independent hotels can drive major results through automation and smart upselling.

By combining Canary’s Mobile Check-In, Tablet Registration, and Dynamic Upsells, Casa Faena automated manual workflows and created a seamless digital guest journey.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Casa Faena wanted to eliminate manual processes, boost ancillary revenue, and deliver a smoother guest experience.

Automate Manual Work: Replace pen-and-paper and spreadsheet-based workflows with digital tools.
Drive Upsell Revenue: Introduce in-stay upsells like early check-in, late check-out, and restaurant offers.
Improve Guest Experience: Simplify the arrival process and make every guest touchpoint faster and more intuitive.
