It is an integrated solution designed to make digital guest relationships more effective and profitable.

We are thrilled with this partnership. The fit between our cultures, audiences, and vision for technology could not be a better one.”

The partnership allows hoteliers to utilize the full suite of digital marketing and CRM tools available from Digital Alchemy along with Loop’s award-winning mobile guest engagement platform. Through full integration, hoteliers can send welcome messages to a guest’s personal mobile device and engage with their guests using Loop during their stay. The real-time communication opportunity offered by Loop means hoteliers can manage guests’ requests more efficiently, resolve concerns, and recover at-risk guests while they are on site. This leads to more satisfied guests, positive reviews on social media, and more loyal long-term guests booking directly.
