Our Client
A premium, experience-focused boutique hotel chain.
Challenges
Key Challenges Faced by the Client
For this upscale hotel brand, exceptional guest experience is central to its identity. However, increasing service demands began to strain their ability to consistently deliver the level of service guests expected. The hotel faced several key challenges:
- A growing volume of enquiries related to bookings, cancellations, room upgrades, and special guest requests.
- The need to provide multilingual, 24/7 support for international travellers.
- Maintaining a highly personalized guest experience while also controlling operational costs.
At the time, all enquiries were managed manually by human agents. As demand increased, staff became overwhelmed, response times slowed, and guest satisfaction began to decline.
Solution
Lola AIvoice bot and AIcontact center
Lola — Our Advanced Multilingual Chatbot
We implemented a two-phase solution, beginning with the deployment of Lola, our advanced conversational AI chatbot, to streamline guest interactions and improve service efficiency.
Faster Resolutions
Lola handled routine booking requests such as room upgrades, cancellations, and add-on services instantly, while automatically confirming and updating reservations.
Always-On Multilingual Support
Guest enquiries were answered instantly in their preferred language, 24/7, eliminating language barriers and time zone limitations.
Personalized Guest Experience
The chatbot delivered tailored interactions by remembering guest preferences from previous conversations and loyalty program profiles.
Smart Recommendations
Lola proactively suggested room upgrades and promotional offers based on guest preferences and booking history.
Lola Voice, our conversational, multilingual voice bot
In the second phase, we expanded these capabilities to voice interactions through Lola Voice, our AI-powered voicebot.
Voice Support
Lola offered the same 24/7 multilingual support via calls as the chatbot did via text.
Integrations
The voice bot was integrated with the hotel call center systems, its PMS, and its billing and payment system for secure voice-assisted payments.
Smart Handoff
For complex queries or VIP guests, it also offered seamless handoff to human agents.
Result
Both the advanced AI chatbot and the AI voice bot had measurable positive impacts on guest service and satisfaction:
- Query response time via chat was reduced from 10-15 minutes to less than one minute with the introduction of the Lola AIchatbot.
- With the introduction of Lola Voice, query response to voice calls dropped to less than two minutes.
- Booking conversion increased from 35% before any AIwas introduced to 40-42% post-AIchatbot and to 45-50% post-AIvoice bot.
- Operational costs were reduced by 30% post-chatbot and by 35-40% post-voice bot.
- The average guest satisfaction score rose from 3.8/5 to 4.2/5 post-chatbot and again to 4.5/5 post-voice bot.
The Lola chatbot was integrated across the hotel’s booking website, mobile app, and messaging platforms. It is also connected with the property management system (PMS) for real-time room availability, booking management, cancellations, and payment processing.
