Background
The Norman Hotel, one of the most luxurious boutique hotels in Tel Aviv, combines the latest 21st century comfort with the elegant style of the 1920s. With 50 unique accommodation choices, guests from near and far can rest assured that they will enjoy a relaxing and exceptional experience here. The Norman Hotel offers activities for every taste and interest, including giant two-person bathtubs, a rooftop sundeck, fully-equipped spa, world-renown dining, art galleries, personal training sessions, and more.
The Challenge
As one of the brightest shining stars in the Middle East, Tel Aviv is in the unique position of attracting travellers and tourists from all over the world. This frequently makes The Norman Hotel a bubbling concoction of different cultures, religions, and people. Hosting guests from such a large variety of nationalities is one of the highlights of working at The Norman Hotel, but years of experience in the hospitality industry have taught the staff that language barriers between them and the guests can diminish the effectiveness of their communication, regardless of the issue at hand, leading to low levels of guest satisfaction.
The Solution
EasyWay’s cutting-edge 21st-century platform helped the hotel overcome language barriers with its two-way translation capabilities, allowing staff members and guests alike to communicate comfortably and effectively in their native languages, leading to a wealth of return business and positive reviews. The Norman Hotel then chose to take its guest communication to the next level by upgrading to EasyWay’s branded WhatsApp API, guaranteeing messages from staff appear with the hotel’s name and logo automatically, leaving no doubt that it is legitimate and trustworthy.
“With the help of EasyWay’s convenient and state-of-the-art system, we’ve seen a much higher guest engagement rate which led to a big jump in incremental sales,” said Yaron Liberman, General Manager of The Norman Hotel. “Our guests are delighted that they’re able to communicate with the staff in their native languages and have all of their questions answered without ever leaving their rooms.”
