Cutting edge guest services for InterContinental Singapore

Singapore InterContinental

High-tech solutions preserve pedigree of service at the InterContinental Singapore hotel

Singapore, Monday 16 April 2012 – After casting an eye to the past last year to create a unique room experience highlighting its Straits Chinese heritage and architecture, the InterContinental Singapore now has its sights firmly on the future and high-tech service solutions.

General Manager Ms Tash Tobias says the hotel’s latest investment, the acclaimed MTech management system HotSOS, is a dramatic step forwards in regards to cutting edge guest services and hotel management.

Memorable guest experiences and providing distinctive hotel offerings is what the InterContinental Singapore is all about. It’s what inspired us to invest S$7.2 million to preserve and revamp our 1920s shophouse guest rooms and suites last year, and now it has inspired us to look ahead to the future with a significant investment in the installation of HotSOS technology to move us forward in 2012.”

The InterContinental Singapore commissioned Singapore and Sydney based McLaren Technologies Asia Pacific Pte Ltd to review its existing systems and advise on the best new strategy for enhanced operational efficiency.

After an indepth consultation with the hotel’s own senior management and IT team, McLaren Technologies has now concluded the implementation of InterContinental’s new HotSOS this month.

Managing Director Matthew White said by implementing HotSOS, the InterContinental Singapore now offers guests an experience that reveals the best of the city’s past in its design, but with a face to the future when it comes to technology and new service ideas.

The InterContinental proves that it is possible to respect and embrace the elegance and nostalgia of Singapore’s graceful past and architectural features while moving forward and staying contemporary in regards to service and efficiency,” he said.

By implementing HotSOS the InterContinental is poised to stay ahead of game. The nature of this technology project means that the hotel can now deliver an unrivalled service that represents the future of hospitality while preserving and celebrating important heritage features, which are a true point of difference for this beautiful hotel.”

MTech’s HotSOS (pronounced hotsauce) is one of the hospitality industries most progressive technology solutions, credited with assisting hotel staff with the management of workflows, the tracking and reporting of guest incidences, and prioritising both staff and guest requests simultaneously.

A unique landmark in the heart of historic Bugis, the InterContinental is Singapore’s only Peranakan-inspired luxury hotel. The hotel’s room amenities – like its new HotSOS service system – are however firmly based on the 21st century.

Rooms incorporate leading-edge technology including a Bose wave music system and an array of media connections including HDMI, USB, Internet data connection and PC link inputs allowing guests to project their laptop screen on the room’s 46” LED TV. An iPhone and iPod-compatible docking station, European designer bathroom fittings and sumptuous bedding complete the luxurious experience.
