Why did they choose Siemlus

In a strategic move to revolutionise guest experiences, the Strand Palace Hotel has selected Siemlus and Hoteza as their digital technology partners, and the decision is anchored in a meticulous evaluation that underscores the collective force this collaboration brings to the table. Siemlus and Hoteza's methodical demonstration showcased not only the seamless integration into the hotel's Property Management System (PMS) but also the user-friendly nature of their guest-facing app. The hotel's foremost objective was to elevate the guest experience from the moment of initial engagement, extending a seamless and enhanced encounter throughout the entire stay.
