The project with LoungeUp
Harmonise guest communication 🏰
It's important for the group to establish consistent, harmonised communication between the different phases of the stay . That's why the group opted for LoungeUp, in order to control all points of contact throughout the guest journey. Harmonising guest relations is also important for building loyalty among the large number of indirect guests, to ensure that their stay lives up to their expectations and to encourage them to return to another of the Group's establishments or to recommend the hotel.
The image of each hotel is strong and distinct, so it's important for the hotel group that each establishment immerses its guests in its own world.
The solution's personalisation features enable establishments to convey the brand's universe, so that guests anticipate their stay even more.
LoungeUp allows us not only to adapt the guest journey to the characteristics of the establishment, but also to adapt to the preferences of each individual guest. Pre-stay interactions immerse guests in the world of their hotel, even before they arrive.

Adapt guest reception and optimise operations 🦢
Prior to the stay, the group collects important information from guests to organise arrivals more efficiently and adapt the welcome:
- Phone number
- Arrival / check-in time
- Reason for stay
- Room view for room allocation
- Reminder of hotel address on the day of arrival
Guests are very reactive before their stay, as they want information about their stay and are inclined to prepare their arrival so that it goes as smoothly as possible.
✤ Average email opening rate before stay: 83%.
Generate more additional income 🍁
Offering guests extras is not just about increasing hotel sales, it's also about personalising their stay, enhancing the quality of their experience and tailoring their stay to their needs.
So far, two e-mail campaigns have been configured and are already generating high upselling. The timing is as follows:
- An initial e-mail sent 5 days before arrival, generating 50% of the upsell.
- A second follow-up e-mail sent 2 days before the guest's arrival, generating 50% of the upsell.
Among the options available to the customer: Garden / pool view 🌳, Adult / child dinner 🍽️, Adult / child birthday package 🎂, Tickets for nearby activities: Sea Life Aquarium... 🐠
The solution enables us to generate a substantial level of upsell, while improving guest satisfaction. We still have other means at available to us to improve our retention by encouraging guests to return to our establishments.
