How STAY’s Contactless Services Helped Barceló Improve Guest Satisfaction and Reduce Waiting Times

GUEST EXPERIENCE

Barceló started searching for the right app seven years ago. When they tried STAY, they knew it was the right tool for them. It started as a pilot program, and now it has been implemented in 102 hotels. Montalvo explains that the entire EMEA region of the company - Middle East, Africa, and Europe - relies on STAY.

Why it matters: For Barceló, technology is about streamlining processes. They wanted to implement a comprehensive tool that would allow hotel guests to communicate with their hotels throughout their stay.

Barcelo leverages STAY to digitize their service offerings so that customers can order drinks and food through their mobile devices, offering contactless services, implementing real time surveys during the stay or implementing the mobile key while becoming more sustainable. Guests can now book spa treatments, tables, room service, and bathrobes, and more.

Top 3 Core Objectives: The key objective of the client was to offer a digital guest experience tailored to guests' social demands and habits.

Streamline operations:: by implementing a guest app with a number of functionalities to make their guests' and staff's lives easier
Increase revenue:: by digitizing their services offering with STAY and making ordering room service or booking services very easy
Wow their guests: with the implementation of tactless functionalities such as the mobile key through STAY
