Iberostar LAUNCHES VOICE BOOKINGS WITH "GOOGLE ASSISTANT"
Iberostar is the first Spanish hotel group to offer this integration, which represents a major step forward in the Group’s efforts to position hotel products within artificial intelligence and voice recognition.
The objective is to improve the interaction between Iberostar and its customers, enabling the company to minimize friction during the booking process and deliver an enhanced, user-friendly experience.
Palma de Mallorca, March 2019. Iberostar Hotels & Resorts has launched an innovative option enabling guests to book rooms through voice commands thanks to an integration with Google Assistant. This is a major step forward for customers, who, from now on, will be able to explore this option from their assistant-enabled devices using voice search. When a customer says, “Hey Google, I want to book a room at,” followed by the name of an Iberostar hotel, its location and the desired dates, Google will provide the details of that hotel’s availability and rates and finalize the booking using Google Pay credentials. In turn, the hotel will be notified of the booking via the channel selected by the user.
Voice bookings through Google Assistant is the latest addition to Iberostar’s innovation plan to provide its guests a great experience, even before their stay. The feature is already available in English for users in the US on Android and Apple smartphones, as well as household devices. During the initial stage, customers will be able to book the following Iberostar city hotels immediately with no advance reservation restrictions in various locations around the world: Iberostar Las Letras Gran Vía (Madrid), Iberostar Selection Lisboa (Lisbon), Iberostar 70 Park Avenue (New York), Iberostar Selection Paseo de Gracia (Barcelona), Iberostar Grand Budapest (Budapest), Iberostar Heritage Grand Mencey (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) and the Iberostar Berkeley (Miami).
“We strive to provide our guests not only with a platform to create great memories during their stay at any of the destinations where we operate, but also with services that cater to their needs” said Javier Delgado Muerza, Iberostar Group’s Chief Digital Officer. ”We are working on connecting with them and facilitating their experience with us. This is a step forward in the company’s current digitalization plan, which is centered on users and innovation, while remaining committed to providing an outstanding hotel experience”.
Iberostar has entered into a strategic alliance with Mirai for the development of this project, aimed at boosting sales thanks to multi-channel connectivity, which includes this cutting-edge voice recognition-based solution that positions the brand amongst the world’s leading international chains.
