Leonardo Hotels
UK & Ireland (formerly Jurys Inn), has launched a new
online booking service, Instant Meetings, that aims to provide customers with a simple
and seamless method for booking hotel meeting rooms.
One of the few
hotel chains to provide this service, and powered by MeetingPackage, Leonardo Hotels’ Instant Meetings service
allows customers to check live availability and prices of meeting rooms online,
view and select meeting spaces, choose additional food and
beverage options and receive instant booking confirmation. Customers can also
manage their booking online following receipt of confirmation and make any
additional changes if required. Payments can be made via a credit card too.
Suitable for up
to 50 delegates, Instant Meetings is available throughout the majority of
Leonardo Hotels in the UK & Ireland.
Andy Besent, head of sales at Leonardo Hotels UK & Ireland, said: “The development
of our new Instant Meetings service, powered by MeetingPackage, will allow us
to completely transform the customer experience and make the entire booking
journey much simpler than ever before. We know that customers who book meeting
rooms, either direct or via third party partners, are looking for a simple and
seamless booking journey, and launching our new Instant Meetings service will
allow us to meet these needs.
“Since using
the product we’ve already seen a significant number of benefits to both our
customers and hotel operations teams, especially when it comes to increasing
speed and efficiency, and I would like to thank Joonas Ahola and his team at
MeetingPackage for their support and patience in delivering such a complex
project.”
