For example, if a guest who has installed the app passes through the lobby, he or she will receive a stream of information about events going on in the Lobby Lounge. Via the “City Guide” menu tab, the app also provides recommendations from the hotel’s concierge about great restaurants and favorite tourist spots.
All guests who install or share the app via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram will be eligible to participate in a lucky draw, which features a one-night stay in a grand suite room, dinner buffet for two and a spa treatment.
