Newly opened Budapest hotel selects leading provider of hotel security technology for installation of keyless entry with advanced RFID lock technology Stockholm - ASSA ABLOY Hospitality, innovator of security technologies for the hospitality industry, announces the successful implementation of several of its advanced security and access solutions at KViHotel in Hungary.

Located in Budapest, KViHotel has implemented ASSA ABLOY Hospitality Mobile Access, VingCard Allure electronic door locks and the Visionline software platform to maximize security and enhance the overall guest experience. The new 40-room property is among the first smart hotels in Europe to offer a complete mobile experience through the use of its mobile app, TMRW Hotels, which as an ASSA ABLOY Hospitality certified partner includes the added feature of Mobile Access keyless entry.

After researching several locking system providers, KViHotel opted for the ASSA ABLOY Hospitality solutions based on excellent customer service and the company's ability to provide an all-encompassing solution to meet staff and guest demands.

With the installation of ASSA ABLOY Hospitality Mobile Access and VingCard Allure locks, guests can quickly and conveniently enter their room immediately upon arrival with a quick swipe of their mobile device.

"As a new hotel, we knew that a main focus of the design needed to reflect modern industry and guest trends through the adoption of innovative technologies," says Péter Palicz, general manager of KViHotel. "Keyless entry is undoubtedly evolving the hotel guest experience, and with ASSA ABLOY Hospitality's longstanding history of delivering exceptional service and its position as a leader in hotel security technology, we knew its Mobile Access solution was exactly what our hotel needed to appeal to today's tech-savvy guest expectations."

ASSA ABLOY Hospitality Mobile Access is an advanced solution that allows guests to use their mobile device as a digital room key. Operating through secure Seos technology, an encrypted key is delivered securely to a guest's smartphone, which they then use to open their guestroom door, as well as accessing other onsite amenities and secured areas.

Using advanced RFID technology, the VingCard Allure electronic lock features a unique interactive and customizable LED panel that is housed on the wall adjacent to the guestroom door, rather than on the door itself. An additional feature available to KViHotel guests is the ability to post 'do not disturb' or 'make up room' notifications to allow hotel staff to easily know when they are able to freely enter a guestroom for housekeeping and other services.

Though the use of the Visionline system, hotel staff can remotely control who has access to certain areas on property and when. Since the installation, KViHotel has experienced positive feedback from guests enjoying the benefit of being able to bypass the front desk and enter their room immediately upon arrival with their own smartphones.

Hotel staff has also benefited greatly from ASSA ABLOY Hospitality's customer support, as the team was committed to ensuring that all needs of the property were met to create a streamlined and convenient service for hotel guests and staff.

Karma Jimbaran has launched their new restaurant and bar, The Bay Bar & Grill. Offering a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere, The Bay Bar & Grill serves the freshest locally caught Jimbaran seafood and juicy grilled steaks without the smoke, crowds and noise of the beach seafood venues, and at a very reasonable price point.

With a combination of laid-back charm, locally caught seafood, high-quality meat, soulful live music and lush poolside surroundings, The Bay Bar & Grill is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The design draws inspiration from its Jimbaran Bay location, incorporating a large open grill and select hues of blue throughout, including a LED blue lid up bar, reflective of the waters of the Bay. The mixture of local Suar wood and blue glass is inspired by driftwood from the sea, combining with natural slate and galaxy marble to create a relaxed bayside feel, complete with seating formed in the shape of a boat.

The emphasis of the menu is on the fresh, local seafood and perfectly grilled meats but many favorites remain available such as the always popular Karma burger, chicken shawarma, Jimbaran fish & chips, fresh Bali crab linguini and the deliciously slow cooked beef rendang.

The Bay Bar & Grill is a wonderful spot to simply enjoy a cocktail and relax with a selection of libations designed by mixologist Grant Collins that include the Karma Negroni, Cariibbean Cloud, Karma Spritz and the Bubble Bath Martini.

The laid-back, pool-side atmosphere is perfect for guests to enjoy drinks in both the seating area or pool lounges whilst cooling off in the 24m long pool.

The Boutique The new Boutique at Karma Jimbaran is located at the entrance to the Resort and is no ordinary boutique. The Boutique has the feel of a gallery, creating a special arrival experience for guests by introducing a retail area replete with a curated selection of beautiful artifacts, works of art, local designer clothing and jewelry. Karma has carefully selected only the highest quality goods and has been supported by local art gallery owner, Melvin Amar of Nyaman Group and Bali Foundation’s Elle Brooks. The Boutique at Karma Jimbaran will be hosting regular fashion shows, offering special discounts for our in-house guests and villa owners, as well as vouchers for the Karma Jimbaran Bay Bar & Grill or Karma Spa for customers spending a certain amount. ***

After the addition of a Conference and Events Space designed by GM Architects, Le Gray, Beirut hotel is awarded TripAdvisor’s highest accolade.

GM Architects is proud to announce that a year after having designed the new Conference and Events Space of Lebanon’s number one hotel, Le Gray, Beirut, the flagship of Campbell Gray Hotels, it has been awarded the “2018 Best Traveller’s Choice Award,” the highest recognition bestowed by TripAdvisor.

The extension of Le Gray, Beirut was carried out by GM Architects, a luxury architecture and design firm also based in the Lebanese capital, in close collaboration with Gordon Campbell Gray, the founder and creative force behind Campbell Gray Hotels. Gordon Campbell Gray was a pivotal consultant for the firm in the overall execution of the aesthetic style and furnishings decisions for the new Le Gray facilities.

GM Architects takes pride in creating unique spaces that offer serene and stylish experiences, and Le Gray, Beirutl is a clear example of its dedication to craftsmanship and design.

Since its opening in 2009, Le Gray has been one of the city’s hottest spots at which to stay and be seen. Located in the heart of Beirut on Martyrs’ Square, close to the business district and near to the city’s prime attractions, the hotel features 103 spacious rooms and suites, with two Presidential Suites sharing the fifth floor encompassing generous private terraces.

Perfect for both business trip guests as much as tourists looking to discover Beirut, the hotel’s current facilities include the glamorous rooftop restaurant, Indigo on the Roof, the tranquil PureGray Spa, as well as a state-ofthe-art gym. The recent renovation by GM Architects enlarged the hotel’s services to include new spacious conference and event facilities.

Incorporating light-filled interiors overlooking the bustling city, all rendered in the contemporary-classic style of the hotel, and in sync with the design aesthetic and philosophy of GM Architects, of harmonizing interiors with their surroundings and creating urban oasis ideal for relaxation, focus, and vitality.

Le Gray, Beirut stands as a symbol of highend design and guest comfort. As part of the renovation of the beautiful hotel in the heart of Beirut, GM Architects created an extended lobby area underneath the atrium with a new lounge to welcome guests providing them with a relaxation space to be enjoyed with family and friends, or as a tranquil area to catch up on emails while on business travel.

GM Architect’s goal was to enrich the guests’ experience with spaces focused around their overall well-being, maintaining a serene and elegant atmosphere. The architects have added several designated areas that give guests a unique and complete stay that meet both their leisure and business needs. A classic 20-person business meeting venue accentuated with natural earthly colours, textures and free of distractions.

‘LIVING OUT THE GOOD LIFE’ BY Galal Mahmoud © GM ARCHITECT’S

A Contemporary And Multicultural Approach

34th | Vol 19 | 2018 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

Born to Egyptian parents and having an English grandmother and Lebanese citizenship, architect Galal Mahmoud lived in France for several years, after fleeing the civil war in Lebanon with his family in 1976. He graduated from the Ecole d’Architecture de Versailles in 1986, opening his first architects’ practice in Paris the following year.

In 1996 he founded GM Architects in Beirut, specializing in the luxury hotel and upscale seaside resort markets. During his many trips to Asia, Galal Mahmoud experienced true wellbeing and witnessed at first-hand Asian societies’ approach to living in the shape of lifestyles that are equally comfortable in an outside environment as inside a house. Galal Mahmoud takes this approach and fuses it seamlessly with the architecture ‘for living out the good life’ that is so characteristic of the Mediterranean region.

These experiences are at the root of Galal Mahmoud’s philosophy and approach to architecture, where the concepts of ‘well-being’ and multiculturalism are key.

Galal Mahmoud © GM Architects CONTEXTUAL IMMERSION Galal Mahmoud’s culturally diverse background has naturally led him to adopt a multicultural approach to all his projects.

His ability to apprehend the essence of a place, to be alive to the diverse influences that shape it, imbues all his projects with a unity of vision, one that is genuinely informed by its immediate context.

‘Contextual immersion’ therefore lies at the heart of GM Architects’ way of thinking. Galal Mahmoud steeps himself in the geographical, historical and cultural environment of each project. He makes these contextual components his own, reworking them in a way that is relevant to and easily comprehensible by contemporary society, but also respectful of the identity and culture of the location in question.

AN INTERNATIONALLY-RENOWNED ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN FIRM GM Architects architecture and design firm specializes in the field of high-end tourism, notably in the creation of luxury hotels and resorts. It is one of the largest such firms in Lebanon.

The company employs 40 professionals including architects and interior designers and is managed by Galal Mahmoud in partnership with Randa Chahine, Anwar Hajj and Elie Waked.

The firm has bases in Beirut and Abu Dhabi and is active worldwide. Its completed projects may be seen in France, Africa, the Middle East and throughout the Mediterranean region.

GM Architects initially specialized in interiors for the luxury and residential markets. It has since branched out and its expertise now encompasses interior design, landscape architecture and site evaluation and analysis in seafront locations.

The practice is currently working on a Sofitel in Morocco, a Sheraton Resort in Dakar and three private resorts in Mykonos.

GM Architects is the only architecture and design company in the Middle East to work regularly with Accor, Rotana, Starwood and Rezidor.

This is due to the high standards of service it delivers, the painstaking care it takes both in the development of a wider vision for each individual project and in the execution of its finer details and its ability to deliver projects that meet the standards of the international hospitality sector and the requirements of the major hotel chains. The firm’s creative approach to projects embodies the distinctive philosophy of French-Lebanese architect Galal Mahmoud.

The ‘Museum of Civilizations’ project designed by GM Architects and presented at the 2014 Venice Biennale was selected for the ‘Future project of the year’ category at the World Architecture Festival, Singapore in 2014. In March 2015, it scooped the ‘Cultural Regeneration’ category at the 26th MIPIM Architectural Review Future Projects awards, before winning an ‘International Architecture Award’ in 2015.

HOSEKI RESTAURANT Meaning “gemstone” in Japanese, Hoseki is a minimalist jewel-box of a destination where guests can enjoy a one-ofa-kind gastronomic treat by Chef Masahiro Sugiyama. With just nine seats, dining at Hoseki is a unique Omakase experience, the most traditional way to savor Japanese food which means “I leave it to you”. After arriving through a special Tokonoma, or entry room, guests turn their palates over to the whims of the chef.

Chef Sugiyama bases his courses on the preferences of those seated at the counter, as well as on the freshest and best ingredients of the day, so no two meals are exactly alike—but every single one is an exceptional journey into the heart of Japan’s culinary tradition.

The dining room overlooks the Dubai skyline, so that each intimate dinner is accompanied by a glittering view. For groups, there is a private dining room that seats up to twelve.

Located on the 4th floor of the Resort, Hoseki is open for lunch and dinner and reservations are required.

OPENING HOURS The restaurant which is located on the 4th floor of the Resort is open for lunch and dinner five days a week and closes on Sunday and Monday.

YOGYAKARTA MARRIOTT HOTEL INTRODUCES MARRIOTT MODERN DESIGN INSPIRED BY JAVANESE HISTORY IN THE HEART OF INDONESIA’S CULTURAL CAPITAL. Yogyakarta, Indonesia – Yogyakarta Marriott Hotel, the first Marriott branded hotel in Indonesia, has opened in the heart of the cultural city, offering guests the opportunity to travel brilliantly by enjoying the sophisticated spaces and experiences of a internationally branded, superbly designed hotel in the city where traditions meet modern life.

The hotel’s 347 guest rooms and suites feature Marriott Modern styled decor with Javanese-inspired accents and inviting views of the pools or city, complemented with premium amenities, marble bathrooms, and 24-hour room service; whilst Suites and Club Rooms offer exclusive access to the M-Club, the largest club lounge in town. Guests can unwind in the Exercise Room, Quan Spa and outdoor pools, and savour local and international cuisines at the three creative dining venues. For shoppers, the hotel is conveniently attached to the largest mall in the city, whilst business travellers can stay connected with free Wi-Fi and convenient workstations. Several meeting rooms and pre-function areas are available to host business meetings and intimate events and the 1,870m2 pillar-less ballroom is the largest in the city.

Marriott Modern Design meets local inspiration – Designed by Jakarta based design firm Domisilium Studio, the 347-room hotel reflects local Javanese culture throughout its interior spaces, drawing design inspiration from the historical Taman Sari, a former royal garden of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta. The elements can be seen on the column and weaving details throughout the public areas of the hotel. The reception background utilizes a parametric design to evoke the water ripples of Taman Sari’s pavilions and pools with a similar concept applied to the ceiling details above the bar area in The Lounge, brought to life with clear white acrylic and sheer fabric. Throughout the hotel, the designers have used a calming and neutral color palette of browns, greys, blacks and whites and the modern, open spaces create a harmonious balance with marble, wood and stone.

“The design brief was to ‘Design Brilliantly’, to create a modern, contemporary hotel that reflects local Javanese traditions and values,” said Alain Rigodin, General Manager of Yogyakarta Marriott Hotel. “Through the use of the Kawung batik motif and the contemporary reimagining of local materials, textures, shapes, and colors, the results resonate with the new generation of traveler. Yogyakarta Marriott Hotel is the first 5-star hotel to open in the city for over 10 years and the modern, contemporary styling throughout sets a new standard.”

A central theme throughout the hotel is Kawung batik, one of the oldest ‘forbidden batiks’. The guestroom corridor carpet features a custom designed Kawung batik pattern inspired by flower petals falling on water. The Kawung pattern also appears on the headboards in the guestrooms, mimicking flower petals scattered by the breeze, and as metal die-cut features in the elevator lobby and guestroom signage.

HOT FEATURED HOTEL Throughout the hotel, the design incorporates cool and soothing colours and textures.

Marble in shades of white, grey and black invoke the essence of water and balance the warmth of the wood finishes prevalent in the interior spaces. The energetic atmosphere of Yogyakarta Kitchen is enhanced by the use of wood finishes with bold characters and vibrant Javanese-styled fabrics, whilst the more relaxed ambience in The Lounge and M Lounge are reflected in a sophisticated palette with light wood veneer on the furniture balancing with the darker wood floor.

The concept for Taman Sari Bar & Grill was a semi-outdoor area that extends to the outdoor pools with a tropical lounge feeling that remains true to its Javanese setting. The designers specified more textured materials to emphasize the indoor-outdoor feel and added blue geometric floor tiles to give a batik-like expression to the space.

The designers collaborated with a local weaving specialist to develop a unique pattern for the hotel’s M Lounge. Synthetic rattan strips are combined in different scales and colors to transform a simple pattern into a more sophisticated design, whilst the use of a neutral color palette incorporating black, grey and white adds a modern and refined feeling throughout.

The lobby of Yogyakarta Marriott Hotel was designed to be welcoming and encourage interaction between guests by avoiding traditional hotel lobby seating arrangements.

The custom designed semi-circular sofa has a functional built-in table and mimics the circular Kawung batik inspired skylight, juxtaposing with the horizontal and vertical lines that dominate the reception area.

Creative destination that inspires brilliance – A city boasting diverse historical influences, Yogyakarta is often considered the heartland of Javanese culture. From contemporary cityscapes to centuries old monuments, the city is becoming an increasingly popular destination for business and leisure travelers.

34th | Vol 19 | 2018 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

It has a reputation as a shopper's paradise with bustling markets and avenues, where guests can purchase paintings and artworks as well as handicrafts created by Java's finest artisans, who excel in batiks, silver and leather works.

“When visitors come to Yogyakarta they can easily find a balance between business and pleasure,” continued Alain Rigodin.

“You don’t have to make a choice. You can come for business and then you can mix in leisure because of Yogyakarta’s incredibly rich and diverse nature. From a cultural point of view, there are the temples, the Palace, the Batiks and the Javanese dancers whilst the food in the city is wonderful. I always recommend visitors try Gudeg, a traditional sweet jackfruit dish, or ayam goreng kalasan , which is chicken made with coconut milk, garlic and coriander. Our friendly team is always available to help organise expeditions.”

The city is the gateway to some of ancient Asia's grandest wonders, including the great 9th century Hindu and Buddhist temples of Prambanan and Borobudur, together with their subsidiary candis (temples) and shrines. The ornate 18th-century royal complex, or kraton, encompasses the still-inhabited Sultan’s Palace and numerous open-air pavilions that host classical Javanese dance shows and concerts of gamelan music, characterized by gongs, chimes and plucked string instruments.

With a new international airport slated to open next year, Yogyakarta Marriott Hotel’s ideal location makes it the perfect base for visitors to the city. The hotel is directly connected to the largest shopping mall and entertainment centre in central Java and just 20 minutes from bustling Malioboro Street, where guests can explore handicraft shopping stalls, street food and restaurants.

JEJU SHINWHA WORLD RESORT IMPLEMENTS MIZZISOFT

‘‘

Mizzisoft, the developer of a leading cloud-based Workforce Management System helped Jeju Shinhwa (Korea) revolutionize their workforce management through implementation of a solution that included planning, rostering, time & attendance to final payroll for more than 1000 employees. This has allowed Jeju Shinhwa, one of Korea’s largest Integrated Resorts to upgrade their manpower processes from an antiquated system to an easy to use web based solution.

Jeju Shinhwa World is an exciting and prestigious world-class integrated resort located in the south-western part of Jeju Island, developed by Landing Jeju Development Co., Ltd. which is incorporated by Landing International Development Limited.

Jeju Shinhwa World will be one of South Korea’s speculative integrated resorts, spanning across a land area of approximately 2.5 million square meters and a total investment of $US 1.8 billion (2 trillion) Korean won development. Jeju Shinhwa World has premium leisure and entertainment facilities which cater to local and overseas visitors of all ages.

HOT SOFTWARE MIZZISOFT

The Challenge Jeju Shinhwa wanted to improve it’s data management for its many of employees through the processes of Payroll, Timekeeping, Employee check schedules, and paychecks. They wanted one integrated system to manage all their workforce throughout the organization.

Being a Korean company, they needed a multilingual system capable of addressing the language needs of local Korean staff, as well as expat managers. “Along with simply offering a Korean language option, the system must be flexible enough to address Korea’s unique business culture,” says Dennis Murro, Director of Workforce Scheduling for Shinhwa World.

Resort management also realized it needed a better way to manage its constantly changing staffing requirements and employee schedules across multiple assignments locations.

Using the forecasted table data the system automatically opens the appropriate tables using the floorplan functionality, which is a graphical representation of the gaming floor.

Floor planning takes into consideration game type, supervisor ratios and skills when assigning employees to the roster.

For non-gaming the system uses other Key Volume Indicators (KVI) data such as covers, checks, check-in/outs, occupancy and many others. Labor standards are then applied to the KVI data to forecast accurate labor needs.

The Results The Mizzisoft application is web based, with no installation needed. It was possible for Jeju Shinhwa to control costs on system use and maintenance. While also reducing additional expenses required for system upgrades. Such a benefit of using a sophisticated system for a low monthly fee.

They had been scheduling more than 1000 employees every week using mostly manual processes, on paper and spreadsheets. Employee tracking was an arduous task, even pulling up individual employee schedules was difficult. They needed to simplify the process, allowing them to easily assign the proper employees to the proper location at the right time.

The resort’s data resides in Mizzisoft’s Data Centre using industrial SSD Linux servers, giving the directors at Jeju Shinhwa confidence that their data is fully protected. Mizzisoft does full database and server replication so if one machine goes down it will automatically switch to the replication machine.

Jeju Shinhwa needed to streamline its Human Resource processes by leveraging automated workflows and mobile technology to save costs. They wanted to implement enterprise workflows, with a solution that could integrate a set of business processes to optimize employee productivity for the individual worker and throughout the resort.

Mizzisoft can give all managers and staff access to the appropriate data, through any HTML5 Browser, which includes Windows, ChromeBooks, Macs, Android TV, Tables & Phones, iPads, iPhones and other smartphones. As Jeju Shinwha is in Korea, the site is able to customize the user interface in one of multiple languages including English and Korean.

The system also provides the resort with an Employee portal where the staff can view the published roster, submit personal leave requests and see their pay information.

The Solution When looking at the size of Jeju Shinhwa World – and the growth they are expecting – the resort needed a solution that would not only work immediately but one that would also fit their needs well into the future. Mizzisoft’s Easy Roster provides a fully integrated system that incorporates Planning (Forecasting), Rostering, Time & Attendance and Payroll. This ensures an accurate data-flow through the system.

Easy Roster’s Planning module is vital to Jeju Shinhwa in ensuring efficient & effective rosters that provide labor cost savings. From a gaming perspective this is done by using Hands In Play (HIP) data to forecast which tables to open at what time of the day.

“There are many reasons we selected Mizzisoft as our technology partner. We knew that Mizzisoft was an innovative developer addressing the needs of high-end Casinos and Resorts around the world. We have been pleased with how the system addresses our needs, and the high level of support we receive,” Dennis Murro mentions.

Conclusion By using Mizzisoft’s web-based Workforce Management solution, Jeju Shinwha has managed to streamline their Human Resource processes leveraging automated workflows and mobile technology while saving costs.

REPUP BRINGS NEW PERSPECTIVE IN THE INDONESIAN MARKET WITH REPUTATION MANAGEMENT 2.0

34th | Vol 19 | 2018 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

‘’REPUP IS THE ONLY AUTHORIZED TRIPADVISOR REVIEW COLLECTION PARTNER IN SOUTH-EAST ASIA WHICH MAKES US A GAME CHANGER IN THIS FIELD. REVIEWS. “ Ever since the explosion of internet usage in the past few years, the hotel industry has started to pay more & more attention towards reputation management due to the sheer amount of business the industry generates from online sources. The emerging crowd of smart phone wielding newage travelers with zero restrictions to leave unlimited reviews on the internet, have made it mandatory for hoteliers to invest in Online Reputation Management. Over the past few years, multiple studies have shown a direct correlation between online reputation and revenue.

A lot of existing players in the market are catering to this solution, but most of them share similar approach towards the problems their customers are currently facing. When enquired about how Repup is doing things differently, this is what their Founder and CEO, Pranjal Prashar had to say ‘’Repup is the only authorized Tripadvisor review collection partner in South-East Asia which makes us a game changer in this field. There are mainly two problems related to Tripadvisor reviews.

Firstly, most people do not have a Tripadvisor account and they don’t want to go through the entire process of creating one and write a review there. Secondly, Tripadvisor has made it mandatory to download their app to write a review.

This long process often discourages guests to spontaneously write reviews there. Repup’s partnership with Tripadvisor has helped our clients immensely due to our seamless integration with Tripadvisor.

Not only do we provide post-stay review collection but we also help hotels engage with their guests better with our pre-stay, in-stay and marketing solutions specially catered towards enterprise and leisure hotels‘’ When asked about how successful this has been so far, he said ‘’The success rate has been absolutely astonishing with properties increasing their review volumes by upto 95% and more than 80% of them are 5 star reviews. We are confident about replicating this success in the Indonesian Market.’’

Repup is also equipped with other useful features such as review management, reply in one single dashboard, Competitor benchmarking, sentiment analysis, issue resolution & collaboration, robust and competitive reporting included inside their online reputation management tools.

In mid 2017 Repup launched a new product named StayMX. It is a fully personalized and customizable guest experience management tool for their enterprise and luxury segment customers. StayMX is a 360º Guest Experience Management platform that lets hotels communicate with guests, customize their stay according to preferences, and generate more revenue from them.

Due to their wide range of solutions, Repup claims to have highly beneficial solutions for every segment in the hotel industry. A long list of satisfied clients, ranging from luxury hotel chains to stand alone players only bolsters such a claim. Repup has recently tied up with Marriott's hotel chain Moxy to manage their entire online reputation and help improve the quality of their overall guest experience.

“Digitalisation is changing the hospitality market at an unprecedented rate and those who are reluctant to adapt the new technological advancements that Repup has to offer, will fall behind in the ever increasing competition of the industry” said Pranjal.

Repup is a Gurgaon, India based startup being led by a band of enthusiastic group of energetic individuals. They are a B2B Online Reputation Management company for hotels dedicated to bolster and improve online reputation ratings of their clients. Repup claims that unlike most of the existing players in the market who only focus on providing reports on what they are already doing, they will actually help the clients improve their overall online reputation.

HOT TECH

Voice search or voice commands have proliferated since the advent of Siri on Apple’s iOS, while Amazon, Google and others have only expanded that reach with smart speakers.

Written by: Tracy Dong, Lead Advisor, APAC, IDeaS Revenue Solutions As technology in business advances, people expect more than easy access to content; they want to experience it, touch it and interact with it in their daily routine. To fully engage staff and ensure they can access, interpret and present key operational data in their roles, Indonesian based hotels must offer a more immersive and seamless experience where data visualisation converges with function to maximise adoption.

Ten years ago, a company without a website was considered a dinosaur. A few years ago, mobile apps became essential for survival. Today, on-demand, dynamic content and automated experiences are becoming the norm for what it takes to stay relevant in the market. The more relevant data an Indonesian hotel can expose to its staff on their everyday technology, the more likely they are to consume and apply it.

Even though many local hotels have adopted cloud technology, data still remains disparate, the challenge remains around how staff can access the right data at the exact moment of need. Voice interaction technology, like Alexa or Google Assistant, makes that possible.

Opportunities for integrating revenue management data with voice-enabled digital assistants will be here in the future. Owners and general managers across the country will no longer need logins to a system they access once a month, nor do they need training to view hotel performance within the software. Instead, they can communicate with a voice-controlled assistant sitting on their desk and never have to remember a rarely-used password again.

Even internal meetings become more efficient and productive. Hotels no longer need to run standard reports for daily meetings. They can literally ask their technology to recite that information to them at each meeting. A voice-enabled assistants can save employees time and resources while still providing key performance metrics whenever called upon. It’s your personalised, on-command data assistant with immediate access to historical, future and market data.

Voice-enabled digital assistants are simply responses to input, with pre-determined results. All the major devices on the market have made it possible to integrate with their systems for business application as well as personal use.

How you manage and expose your data will dictate how simply you can work with this new technology.

If your hotel operational information is in a structured, easily-accessible system, you’ll find providing it to a voice-enabled system less difficult. This means how you currently manage your data is crucial and key to the whole process.

34th | Vol 19 | 2018 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

Because a revenue management system typically stores hotel performance data that can be compared against the previous year, forecast and budget, it also provides unparalleled insight for financial stakeholders like controllers and finance officers. They no longer need to seek out someone with system access or learn to generate a report themselves.

Simple voice commands allow them to obtain the comparative data they need to assess performance in real time.

Automated revenue technology paired with a voice-enabled interface may modify the rules for user experience design, but it totally changes the game for hotel revenue strategy. Security and user configurations allow administrative users to enable the appropriate data-access permissions for each job function that then applies to any device. Data that once had limited access can now be made available to all appropriate teams and roles without having to train and educate each individual because they will interface through technology already used in their daily lives.

Of course, Indonesian revenue strategy leaders stand to benefit as much as anyone else. Not only does this technology make them more efficient in their responsibilities, it also empowers their colleagues and departments to access the data they need, when they need it. It helps promote revenue awareness across an organisation by the simple fact that the information is so easily accessible by all.

“Blessed with a rich history, diverse culture and tropical scenery, Penang is a truly enchanting destination. As the first DoubleTree resort in Malaysia, we are delighted to bring the brand’s warmth and genuine hospitality to the country, as epitomized by the welcome cookie we offer to all our guests,” commented Jamie Mead, Regional General Manager, Hilton Malaysia.

Linda Giebing, DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang’s General Manager, added; “We have experienced strong demand since the hotel started operating in January, with high occupancy and interest from the events sector. I am confident that all guests will be captivated by our comprehensive range of facilities and renowned standards of hospitality.”

Overlooking Miami Beach and the turquoise seas beyond, DoubleTree Resort

by Hilton Penang features a distinctive design concept that blends contemporary style with classical Peranakan motifs.

There are 316 rooms and suites; all equipped with walk-in rain showers, 40-inch LED TVs and Wi-Fi. Many rooms also feature a private balcony with sea views.

Families can opt for two inter-connected rooms, which are linked by a hallway door to create a private sanctuary, complete with double and twin bedrooms and separate bathrooms.

Families also have an array of dining options to choose from, including special children’s buffets at Makan Kitchen, the resort’s lively all-day dining restaurant.

Alternatively, guests can pick up light snacks - including DoubleTree’s signature chocolate chip cookies - at The Food Store, or enjoy refreshing drinks at the Axis Lounge.

With its large, cuddly collection, this delightful museum will captivate children and adults alike. Guests at the resort will enjoy 20% off the entrance fee.

HOT NEWS

Yangon - Myanmar’s largest city - is changing rapidly, and attracting more and more tourists and business travellers each year.

The new Wyndham Grand Yangon Royal Lake Hotel will help meet that increasing demand, offering a tranquil escape in the bustling city. Located on the banks of Yangon’s famous Grand Kandawgyi Lake, the new Wyndham property is an urban sanctuary that immerses guests in the city’s rich history, culture and landscape.

The design was heavily influenced by the sense of wonder visitors experience when they first discover Yangon and the mountainous landscape of Myanmar. For example, guests arriving through the fourth floor lobby are treated to views of the lake and the shimmering Shwedagon Pagoda in the distance. The city’s characteristic brick red colour and Burmese vessels are seen in design touches throughout the hotel. A natural tone-ontone palette blended with atmospheric dim lighting in parts of the hotel creates a calm, resort-like feel, and local materials have been sourced wherever possible.

Creating a sense of discovery The hotel’s outdoor spaces – and lake views – enhance the property’s peaceful feel and reinforce the connection to nature and local context. HASSELL deliberately created a sheltered walkway between the lobby and the dining area so guests can experience the outdoors before sitting down for a meal. Clever use of planting creates ‘hidden’ areas, adding to the sense of discovery.

34th | Vol 19 | 2018 | www.hotelier-indonesia.com

The interior design incorporates numerous structural steel beams – a striking element that’s now a memorable part of the space. And in the lobby, the reception table gives the impression of floating in the space.

As part of the mixed-use Kantharyar Centre, the hotel has also been thoughtfully integrated with a residential building, serviced apartments, office tower and retail centre.

The 270-room, 36,000 sqm hotel – which includes amenities such as a swimming pool, spa, gym and international food and beverage offering – is set to open in the second half of 2018.

HASSELL HASSELL is a leading international design practice with studios in Australia, China, South East Asia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. We judge the success of the buildings and places we design by the way people use and enjoy them - the clients who commission them, the people who inhabit them. Good design is about helping clients meet their needs and objectives.

It is also about the way people feel when they experience it, a sense of meaning, connection and belonging. www.hassellstudio.com

What could be better than quickly adapting to a new time zone and eliminating jet lag, and enjoying high energy levels from the moment you land?

Timeshifter, which named Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas their official hotel partner, offers highly personalized jet lag plans based on the traveler's sleep pattern, chronotype, flight plan, and optional preferences such as pre-travel adjustment or the use of melatonin for an even faster adaptation.

Timeshifter incorporates a real world "practicality" filter, ensuring that the advice is realistic and easy to follow; there is also a unique Quick Turnaround feature for business travelers who want to be at their best during short business trips that are not long enough to allow full adjustment.

A notification system provides simple yet powerful advice, even while in flight. Using Timeshifter is a straightforward and empowering experience, and requires no special equipment.

We're delighted to partner with Timeshifter and to provide our guests with a state-of-the-art tool so they can get the most out of their time when staying with Six Senses and to be their best after they arrive back home," said Neil Jacobs, chief executive officer of Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas.

Guests who book a stay through SixSenses.com, via email or phone will be given a special code in their reservation confirmation so they can unlock a complimentary jet lag plan inside the Timeshifter iOS or Android app.

Jet lag is caused when the sleep-wake and light-dark cycle shift too quickly for the 24-hour circadian clock in the brain to adapt. Timeshifter not only provides advice to alleviate the disruptive symptoms of jet lag such as insomnia and sleepiness, but addresses the underlying circadian disruption by rapidly resynchronizing the circadian clock to the new time zone and reducing the negative impact of jet lag on other brain and body functions.

The brand's overarching philosophy, Six Senses Integrated Wellness, provides the best base possible to help guest flourish, in tune with their natural flow. From a wide range of signature massages to high-tech science and high-touch therapies. From the food guests eat to the way they sleep and the experts they meet. Wellness is integrated into the whole guest experience, and becomes a joyful way of life. And those guests who wish to go further, can take the non-invasive wellness screening and let Six Senses experts assess their health and lifestyle and recommend a personalized program in steps that they feel comfortable with. ***
