The hotel’s business center has entered a new age.
Today, business travelers and even tourists expect something above and beyond small, multi-purpose meeting rooms off the hotel lobby equipped with desktop computers and printers. Driven by consumer desires for new experiences, there's a need to integrate traditional business center services with cutting-edge technologies.
The rise of the on-demand, instant gratification economy means guests want to curate their hotel experience. So if you want to enhance guest experiences, your business center must double up as a digital concierge.
A hotel's business center is a great resource for guests looking to get some work done while away from the office. But did you know that the business center can also double as the concierge?
To create the white-glove level of service designed to elicit brand loyalty, you must merge your business center and concierge services.
Hotel concierges are known for being emotionally intuitive, observant, and proactive. Their purpose is to anticipate what a guest needs and find ways to make their stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. Modern hoteliers are leaning into technology to replicate the experience for the guest.
Let’s look at some of TTI's hotel technology solutions to help you achieve these goals.

Lobby tablets are essential to the hotel business center because they provide hotel staff with an interactive hotel directory. This allows them to upsell hotel services and amenities and provide guests local dining and entertainment recommendations.
