The BellDesk+ standard
Service, anticipated.
Great hotels never make a guest explain twice. Neither do we. Each request is read the moment it arrives, sorted by an AI agent, and placed in the hands of the right person.
Swift
Your request is understood, prioritized and routed within seconds of the ring, day or night.
Discreet
Anything that touches access, data or guest privacy waits for a person's approval. Nothing is left to chance.
Attended
One person owns your request from first ring to final word, and you can see where it stands at any hour.
At your service
Two desks, one ring
BellDesk+ looks after the property every day, and the groups that fill your ballrooms and boardrooms. Simply ring for either.
The property
Hotel operations & applications
The systems your guests and staff touch from arrival to checkout.
The groups
Corporate events & meetings
Everything a planner needs connected, quoted and supported on the day.
The profit in the connection
Internet that pays its way
Wi-Fi is the one amenity every guest and every attendee uses. Run well, it is a revenue line. Premium tiers for guests and per-attendee or dedicated bandwidth for groups turn the network from a cost into profit.
The property
Premium guest Wi-Fi
The groups
Meetings & events bandwidth
Example figures. Change any number to match your property. Meeting rates from the JW Marriott Essex House rate sheet; planner figure from Encore; margin estimate from a 2015 Meetings & Conventions analysis. Results are estimates, not a guarantee.
