Six areas where a hotel can run smoother.

Those moments fall into six areas. Choose the one closest to your situation to see what we build for it, and what changes.

Pre-arrival communication

The days before arrival decide how prepared a guest feels, and how many questions reach your desk.

Messages before arrival with practical details, useful extras and room for questions.

What changes · Guests arrive knowing where to park and what to expect, and your desk gets fewer surprises.

Guest Journey Automation

Pre-arrival communication

The days before arrival decide how prepared a guest feels, and how many questions reach your desk.

Messages before arrival with practical details, useful extras and room for questions.

What changes · Guests arrive knowing where to park and what to expect, and your desk gets fewer surprises.

In-stay guest and team coordination

One guest message can need reception, housekeeping and the kitchen at once.

Guest messages linked to the team that has to act on them, so a request is made once.

What changes · A guest asks once, and the right departments pick it up without passing it around.

Post-stay follow-up

The stay ends, and the most useful follow-up still needs to happen.

A post-stay flow for thanks, feedback, reviews and anything that deserves a personal reply.

What changes · Guests get a thank-you that fits their stay, and useful feedback comes back to you.

Voice AI & Front Desk Support

AI-powered guest calls

Guests still call while reception is welcoming someone else.

Voice AI configured around the questions your hotel gets most, in your hotel’s tone.

What changes · Every call is answered. Routine questions are handled, and anything personal goes to your team.

Check-in peak support

A full lobby, a ringing phone and the same practical questions, all at once.

A second line for recurring calls during arrival peaks, while staff stay with the guests in front of them.

What changes · Calls are answered during the arrival rush, so your staff can stay with the guests at the desk.

Automated request capture

A call ends and what was agreed lives only in someone’s memory.

The relevant part of each call written down as a request the team can see and complete.

What changes · What a guest asked for on the phone is written down, so nothing gets lost after the call.

Dashboard logging and follow-up

Several calls in the same hour, and no clear overview of what still needs a person.

One overview of each conversation: what was asked, what was answered, what remains.

What changes · Your team sees which calls still need a person, even across busy hours and shift changes.

Guest Experience

Digital check-in

Guests arrive after a journey and start by repeating what they told you when they booked.

A check-in flow that collects details before arrival and fits the way your front desk already works.

What changes · Check-in is quick, and the desk can focus on the welcome.

AI guest messaging

Parking, breakfast, luggage, late arrival: the same questions arrive by message, on the website and at the desk.

Guest messaging that answers with your hotel’s own information and hands anything personal to a colleague.

What changes · Guests get a quick answer to common questions, and the personal ones still reach your team.

Digital room access

Access instructions arrive late or not at all, and the desk becomes the fallback for every question about them.

One clear path from arrival to room, built around the access technology your hotel already uses.

What changes · Guests get to their room without help, and the desk gets fewer calls about doors.

Personalised hotel information

Your hotel has more useful information than any guest wants to search through.

Hotel information organised around the moments of a stay: arrival, breakfast, dining, wellness, the neighbourhood.

What changes · Guests find what they need in your own words, and you keep it up to date in one place.

Hotel Operations

Housekeeping dashboards

Room status, guest requests and maintenance notes live in different conversations and different heads.

One working view of rooms, priorities and open requests for housekeeping and reception.

What changes · Housekeeping and reception work from the same overview, so rooms are ready on time.

Task management

A request mentioned at the desk or in a group chat easily loses its owner.

Recurring operational work turned into tasks with an owner, a status and the context to act.

What changes · Every request has someone responsible, so it gets done.

Guest request routing

Guests do not care which department owns their request. They expect the hotel to sort it.

A route from the first message or call to the colleague who can act, with the context attached.

What changes · Requests go straight to the right colleague, and reception sees when they are done.

Revenue & Reputation

Automated upsells

An upgrade or dinner reservation works when it fits the moment, not when it interrupts.

Offers timed to the stay, based on what you want to sell and what is available.

What changes · Guests see offers that fit their stay, and you decide what is offered and when.

Guest feedback

Feedback arrives in fragments: a remark at the desk, a message, a survey weeks later.

A clear way for guests to say what worked and what did not, with the context your team needs.

What changes · Guests can speak up while there is still time to fix things, and recurring issues become visible.

Review flows

Guests are most likely to leave a review when the ask is timely and simple.

A review request sent to every guest at the right moment.

What changes · Every guest gets one simple review invitation at the right moment.

Custom Hospitality Solutions

Tailored hotel workflows

Some problems do not fit a standard feature. Information moves between tools and people fill the gaps by hand.

We map the workflow, find where it breaks and build the small digital piece that fixes it.

What changes · The manual steps that slow your team down disappear.

Connected hotel systems

Reservations, guest data, operations and communication each live in their own system.

Connections between the systems you have, one agreed workflow at a time.

What changes · Information is entered once and shows up wherever it is needed.

Useful guest and team actions

Information is everywhere. The next action is not.

Assistants and simple screens that turn what you already know into an answer for a guest or a task for your team.

What changes · What you already know turns into a clear answer or a next step.

A few things hotels usually want to know.

Will AI replace our front desk team?

No. It takes the repeated questions and routine follow-up off the desk, and anything that needs judgement or a personal touch goes to a colleague with the full context.

What if the AI gives a wrong answer?

It only answers from the information you have approved, and anything it is unsure about goes to your team. We review the conversations with you and adjust what needs adjusting.

Will it sound like our hotel?

Yes. Answers come from your own hotel information and follow your tone of voice, and you check them before anything goes live.

How do you handle guest data and GDPR?

Guest data is only used for the workflows we agree on, in line with GDPR. Before launch we agree together what is stored, where and for how long.

Can we work with our existing systems?

Yes. We start with the tools already in use and agree what can be connected, adapted or built around them.

Which languages can it handle?

The languages your guests use, including Dutch, French, English and German, on calls as well as in messages.

Can we start small?

Yes. Most hotels start with one workflow, such as calls during check-in or messages before arrival, and add more once it runs well.

Who builds and runs the technology?

Hautel designs the solution with your team, and our technology partner Videntra builds and runs it. You keep one point of contact for both.

Is this for one hotel or a hotel group?

Both. A project can serve one property or set a shared approach across several hotels, with room for local differences.

How is a project scoped and priced?

Scope follows the discovery and the work involved. You see the full structure before any work begins, including any usage costs.
