Recently Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. has launched its mobile application, but it is distinguished from other apps by famous hoteliers by a very interesting fact – the program contains tips from the company’s president Herve Humler. Among other features present are exclusive trips, newest information about Ritz-Carlton hotels, and integration with such popular services as Foursquare or World Concierge.
As Humler mentions, he is very fortunate as he can visit all Ritz-Carlton hotels around the world. The things or details that seemed quite interesting or unique during his trips were included into the new application. The president will share his tips with guests of Ritz-Carlton hotels who use the application to scan a special QR code while they check-in. Currently 20 Ritz-Carlton hotels around the world are equipped with these OR codes, and their number will grow in the future.
The application also uses GPS technology that will automatically detect the location of a person. When a guest arrives in particular Ritz-Carlton hotel, the program automatically displays information about this hotel, tips and exclusive offers available.
By using this application guests can book hotel rooms, check photos of hotels, and even manage their Ritz-Carlton Rewards accounts.
