reputation for service and technology, and its guest-centric system complemented our personalized service at a competitive price point." The Hotel St. Regis is a member of the Luxury
Collection of Worldhotels.
The 216-room Bedford Springs Resort in Bedford, Pennsylvania also recently installed Maestro Enterprise. The property offers a luxury Spa, an 18-hole golf course and trout fishing on
property. "We are a newly renovated property and Maestro's professional team was very helpful training our new hires during our installation and go-live," said Mark Roxby Bedford Springs
Resort's IT manager. "We use Maestro PMS to manage our front office operation and back-end accounting and we will install Maestro Analytics business intelligence in the future." Bedford
Springs Resort is operated by Benchmark Hospitality which utilizes Maestro as its corporate go forward property automation system. Maestro is currently used by sixteen Benchmark
properties.
Trend: Resorts install Web Connection hotel management software
"The new Maestro installations reflect a growing industry trend of independent resorts implementing sophisticated multi-module systems that integrate Web Connectivity and automate all
resort operations on a single-image database," said Warren Dehan, Northwind-Maestro's president of North American operations.Maestro's advanced single-image database technology offers
many advantages over legacy systems:
- All guest outlet charges are instantly recorded on their folio without rekeying or interfaces;
- Additional modules such as Spa & Activities, Membership and Sales & Catering allow bookings and fees to automatically be centralized and shared in front office folios;
- Guest requests are recorded in a single record for one or more hotels for a 360 degree view at every point of contact and optimal personal service;
- Maestro's multiple-module platform means hotels need only contact one support organization that delivers 24/7 world class support services.
The Web Connection drives resort reservations
The Internet is now the fastest growing source of resort reservations. Resorts that implement Maestro Web Connection technology with property management and other applications are driving
more bookings that generate greater revenue. The Maestro Property Management Suite delivers the industry's most robust Web integration with online functionality that includes:
- ResEze Internet booking engine with integrated revenue management;
- Guest-driven spa, golf and activities scheduling;
