About Hotel Atlantic Agdal – A Designer Boutique Property:
Hotel Atlantic Agdal is the first boutique hotel in Rabat. The property is located in the heart of the main business service district of Agdal. It consists of 44 rooms and 3 suites, designed by Jean Baptiste Barian : a renowned designer.
Hotel faced management issues with the local PMS
The boutique hotel was working with a local PMS and faced a lot of managerial issues. During the launch of the property, the staff experienced chaos with the amount of paperwork like printed booking confirmations from the OTAs and offline travel agents.
The lack of channel manager integration resulted in manually managing each OTA extranet separately. All these factors became worrisome for the hotel as with the growing business, management was getting harder.
Local representative helped in thorough evaluation
Hotelogix’s partner in Morocco, Forleaders Solutions, contacted the owner and introduced her to Hotelogix PMS.
“We found that their representative understood our needs well and had good knowledge of new technologies involved in the hospitality sector,” says Owner and General Manager, Atlantic Agdal.
The ability to access Hotelogix from multiple devices like PC, Mac, iPad and Smartphones proved beneficial as the owner travelled often and the remote accessibility would allow her to view the bookings from anywhere and at any time. The system matched all their requirements.
Transition to Hotelogix PMS was easy
The hotel manager did not consider any other system after evaluating Hotelogix PMS.
The system including channel manager integration was implemented smoothly within one month and the local representative assisted during the transition by being present in the hotel whenever required.
