The Residences at Two Liberty Place .> Staff utilizes The Concierge Assistant® software to deliver superlative service in a luxury environment |
November
15, 2007 - The city of brotherly love is embracing a whole new concept
of luxury living. The Residences at Two Liberty Place, and its unique
approach to city living in Philadelphia, has put this exclusive residence
on the map.
Housed in the third tallest building in the city, Two Liberty Place was completed in 1990, but the top twenty floors are currently being transformed into luxurious one-, two- and three-bedroom condominiums with jaw-dropping views that span three states. It is more than the views that make The Residences at Two Liberty so unique, it is the service. The upscale property instituted a �white glove� five-diamond hotel approach to residential services that are implemented by a staff of concierges, a general manager, assistant GM, and a bevy of drivers, doormen, condo messengers, engineers, and housekeepers all on 24-hour service standby and supported by a robust concierge software system named The Concierge Assistant (CA). It really is different up there According to Alex Cohen, general manager at The Residences at Two Liberty, the luxury hotel parallels are intentional. �Our service is the property�s big differentiator,� he said. �That is why we recruited our concierge staff from leading five-diamond hotels. Their attention to the needs of our residents is amazing.� And, the move from hotel to resident services provides the time necessary for the staff to really get to know the people they are assisting, Cohen points out. �We are very proactive. We conduct in-depth meetings with every owner, some lasting up to two hours, and gather as much information as possible to anticipate their needs.� The information is recorded in the property�s specialized hospitality concierge software from Gold Key Solutions that the staff uses to meet residents� needs. The system is based on property for greater data security and it enables the Two Liberty team to strengthen is personalized service by tracking:
�Our Senior Concierge Jamie Cooperstein recommended The Concierge Assistant because of her experience using it at a prior five-diamond hotel employer,� Cohen said. �She created numerous keyword links in the system to build a database of specific destinations and activities that enable us to fulfill residents� requests very quickly.� The Residences at Two Liberty Place also provides a �Virtual Concierge� communication system in every residence, enabling owners to make requests to the concierge through the touch of a screen. Pets pampered with deluxe concierge service Two Liberty Place also caters to its four-legged residents, and will offer a deluxe VIP Pet Spa. The Spa will offer pet walking, grooming and sitting services, all managed and coordinated with The Concierge Assistant, as will the many offerings also available in the fitness center. When completed, Two Liberty will feature a signature restaurant on the 37th floor that will be open to the public via a separate street level entrance. Restaurant reservations will of course be a breeze. �Concierge Assistant provides online reservation capabilities with all the restaurants in this area, including the one we will have here at Two Liberty Place,� said Cohen. �A resident simply need ask and we can reserve their favorite table at their preferred time and even have their favorite beverage of choice chilling by the table.� All that service sound impossible? Not at Two Liberty Place, because life really is different up there. About The Residences at Two Liberty Place The Residences at Two Liberty Place creates a paradise atop the Philadelphia skyline.
