#rezzolutions - #citizenMRotterdam New Year's Eve

Lucky me - I won a free stay from +citizenMHotels and selected the Rotterdam hotel.  Am here for FreeNYE and will check out the fireworks over Erasmus Bridge - a mere 2 minute walk from the hotel - to viewing space!!

What is especially fun is that each employee is sporting a Tshirt with #rezzolutions on the back - and a cheeky chic saying on the front.

#rezzolutions - here are 3 I spotted

• Right bed, right time...with the right person
• Power Nap yourself to Awesomeness
• Turn off your phone, turn on your partner

Each cool, fun + insightful.  Each staff member got to select (online) their preference - et voila, that's what each gets to wear.

More NYE at #citizenMRotterdam later....wishing you and yours a 2016 full of adventures and original thinking.

Hotels Use Texting for Guest Service

It makes sense!!  Almost 90% of people with smart phone use texting for their communications.  

This Customer Think article provides a number of examples of guest-hotel and hotel-guest texting for services.

Key Takeaway:

With texting, hotels can make sure their customer service isn’t taking a vacation. Using the right technology, they can boost engagement and grow revenue by contacting customers on a channel they prefer, and also foster loyalty with an intelligent mobile experience that travels with them and anticipates their needs.

Used in conjunction with geo-targeting + predictive requests, personalized smart hotel texting can be a revenue source.

Hotel Le Parisis Amazing Eiffel Views - Paris Authentique

Hotel Le Parisis Tour Eiffel has launched!! 

A welcome addition to the Parisian hotel scene, the hotel has calm, cool interiors with an art deco vibe.  The decor and ambiance is a tribute to 'City of Lights' Age of Enlightment, leading the world in ideas, arts and culture.

Step outside Hotel Le Parisis, visitors find themselves in the heart of a most vibrant, local neighborhood...street markets, local cafes, fabulous bakeries...the real 'authentique' Paris experience.

The Patio at Hotel Le Parisis - lush wall greenery

What I like best:

• Views - sparking, twinkling Eiffel Tower at night - lovely Paris rooftops by day
• Location, location, location - La Motte Picquet Grenelle crossroads - 5 minute stroll to the Eiffel Tower
• Glass roof atrium 'The Patio' boasts a vegetal wall, cozy corners yet open air feeling - ideal for sipping, chatting
•  Fast, free WiFi - everywhere - no sign in hassles
• Quiet, calm of the guestrooms - even facing the active street scene - totally soundproof
• Showers + rainforest shower heads!!

Did I mention the view!!

You cannot beat this view - from Hotel Le Parisis guestrooms!

Newly re-opened, Hotel Le Parisis is a distinctive boutique hotel gem.

Hotel Mobile Websites great examples

Attracting guests to a hotel is not an easy challenge!

Hoteliers must develop strong strategies to let guests have a better experience as well as easier and even enjoyable when booking.

Usually, mobile bookings are made by persons near the hotel, so it is very important to make it easy to get information, navigate and book in the mobile website.

The following hotel mobile websites are examples of nice responsive designs, simple, tappable, and highly interactive, with strong click to action features.
