Pullman Paris Montparnasse: The digital guest directory as a 360° communication platform

The digital guest directory better.guest by Betterspace serves as a 360° communication platform at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse and as such the digital assistant digitizes processes, relieves the staff and perfects the guest communication at the hotel.

Why it matters: The creation of modern digital processes played a major role during the hotel's renovation, aiming for more sustainable development and more climate and environmental protection. In addition, the improvement of guest communication was a focus here.

The solution was quickly found. With numerous integrations of external apps, features and services, the digital guest directory better.guest is expected to delight the four-star hotel’s guests as an all-rounder and modern communication platform and at the same time ensure modern processes.

Top 3 Core Objectives: At Pullman Paris Montparnasse they were looking for ways to optimize processes and at the same time offer more services for their hotel guests.

New telephone solution: The tablets are not just digital information folders but are also used as cost-saving telephones
No more paper: To relieve the staff from updating printed information and make sure guests always have up-to-date information, the hotel decided to save paper and remove printed media from guest rooms
Modern communication: The hotel wanted guests to have up-to-date information, a way to book hotel services digitally or order breakfast without leaving a note on the door.

"In the past, guests had to put notes on the door if they wanted to order breakfast in their room the next morning. Then a member of staff had to collect the slips at night and then transfer everything into our system. It was an incredible amount of work for a simple breakfast order and it cost a lot of time. Today, guests order breakfast easily and conveniently via tablet. The order is immediately in the PMS system, no one has to manually fill out data anymore. This saves a lot of time and at the same time the error rate drops to zero."
