Hotel Apps for London’s Cheval Residences Now Available
In Apple App Store & Android Market
MARCH 28, 2011 –SmartstaySM is pleased to announce the release of five new hotel apps for London’s luxury Cheval Residences. The apps, which allow guests to receive exclusive offers, explore the surrounding city using an interactive map, and easily view and share photos and video, are now available for Cheval Calico House, Cheval Knightsbridge, Cheval Thorney Court, Cheval Hyde Park Gate and Cheval Gloucester Park. Each app can be downloaded for free at the Apple App store or Android Market. The Cheval Phoenix House was the first of the Cheval Residences to test the Smartstay app platform in early 2010. General Manager Fergel Twomey reported that the app generated 19 bookings in just one month, the equivalent of €7,000. As a result of the app’s success, Cheval Residences decided to move forward with the creation of Smartstay apps for five of its additional properties. “Cheval Residences recognizes the importance of mobile as more than a lifestyle, but a lifeline,” said Liz Craig of OneGlobe Network, a digital agency specializing in luxury hospitality properties that has been contracted by Cheval Residences. “Mobile services will continue to evolve based on customers' expectations. Those expectations are being accelerated by increasingly sophisticated apps, across industry and entertainment spectrums. Cheval selected the Smartstay app because the flexibility of the platform will permit Cheval to continuously enhance mobile services and exclusive benefits and therefore remain a leader in the London luxury markeplace.” Features of the Cheval Residences apps include:
