About The Company
THE ELIOT HOTEL is a luxury boutique hotel based in Boston, Massachusetts. Situated among the city’s cultural, medical, and educational institutions, it reflects the history, charm, and warmth of Boston. Its management added one more feather on its cap by winning the Travel and Leisure Award, making it one of the finest addresses in Boston.
The Challenge
From it’s earliest days The Eliot Hotel has been a client of Zenya, which has been an important tool in the rapidly changing dynamics of guest engagement technology. As a luxury boutique hotel its mission is to provide personalized guest service. With Zenya, they were able to reach out and communicate with their guests through their cloud-based concierge.
When COVID-19 erupted social distancing and safety protocols changed how hotels had to operate. Offering contactless check-in has never been more critical for hotels around the world. Eliot Hotel wanted a virtual registration process to streamline the check-in process, reduce the guest–staff interaction and save time.
The Solution
Zenya’s contactless check-in feature significantly raised the bar and gave Eliot Hotel an option to deliver touchless registration following social distancing guidelines. Now they are able to keep their employees and guests safe, easing the entire process resulting in an extraordinary guest experience.
Zenya’s technology simplifies the pre-arrival by sending a text or email with the hotel registration information. Guests can use a link or an app to fill out their details, scan their ID, and e-sign the registration form. Once the registration is complete, guests just need to collect their room key once they arrive. All the required documents could be digitally signed and uploaded, saving Eliot Hotel staff’s time. It improves the staff’s daily responsibilities so they can concentrate on making an enjoyable and memorable experience for their guests.
Zenya allows us a platform to instantly market services, promotions, and more recently with the challenges of COVID-19, provide a pathway to facilitate virtual registration and disseminate safety protocol information.
