NEW YORK, August 29, 2016 – In just a few months since adopting the new ALICE Concierge tool, guest services at Manhattan’s 314-room Dream Downtown is better able to track guest requests, respond to them quickly using a single online platform, and spend their time where it is most valuable: taking care of guests’ needs directly and personally. Since implementation in January, Dream Downtown has seen an average monthly increase of 43% in concierge requests, and a 36% increase in after-hours requests, all handled efficiently under the new system.

ALICE Concierge leverages the power of technology to help hotel teams respond to guest requests more efficiently, generate ROI from ancillary services, build more positive guest reviews and achieve cost savings simultaneously.

“In an initial three-month pilot, the ALICE product team worked side-by-side with our Concierge team at Dream Downtown to truly understand the day-to-day work flow of guest services and their most frequent pain points,” said Eric Freitas, director of guest of services at Dream Downtown. He concluded, “The result was a task tracking tool that our team organized and on the same page. Using ALICE Concierge, we can access information quickly, staying focused on guest expectations – which produces not only a better work environment for our team, but most importantly, higher guest satisfaction among our guests.”

“We’re delighted to recognize the immediate and meaningful results of our partnership with Dream Downtown,” said Alex Shashou, ALICE’s Co-Founder and President.

“In NYC’s uniquely competitive marketplace, concierge teams are charged not only with meeting a diversity of guest requests quickly, but also managing an intense workflow and level of activity in the ‘City that Never Sleeps.’ The guest services team at Dream Downtown not only partnered with ALICE to customize a solution for their own needs, but also helped us better understand how the product can be employed to produce better outcomes, for concierges as well as guests, in the most demanding market there is. We are deeply appreciative of the partnership with Dream Downtown and look forward to continuing to deliver outstanding results.”
