Challenge at Hand

Equinox Hotels presents a diverse selection of amenities to their guests, such as spa treatments, fitness classes, and dining options. When scheduling a trip, guests frequently have queries about the hotel's available services.

 

  • The marketing team wanted a solution to improve website booking and conversions by proactively information website visitors about the hotel's exceptional amenities.
  • It is common for guests to have specific requests before their check-in, but there was no easy way to do raise such requests in the current set-up.
  • Decrease the number of on-property phone calls that result from pre-arrival inquiries regarding bookings, hotel location, payment, and cancellations.
