DALLAS � FEBRUARY 20, 2003 - Unirez and Hotel ZaZa have more in common than their hometown of Dallas. Unirez, the fastest growing hotel reservations service in the world, and the urban lifestyle hotel recently teamed up to develop Hotel ZaZa�s reservations infrastructure. Their mutual creative spirit and commitment to providing the best service in the business were cited as contributing factors. Hotel ZaZa has quickly gained a reputation for creating memorable experiences through their concept suites designed for urban adventurers. Located in Uptown Dallas, Hotel ZaZa provides business travelers an opportunity to work hard and play hard without leaving the property. With its eclectic, casual and seductive Mediterranean elegance, Hotel ZaZa�s soul lies in a rich combination of sensual design, an impeccable attention to detail and a �can-do� staff whose mission is to exceed every expectation. As the leader in Internet-based hotel reservations services, Unirez shares these ideals of impeccable attention to detail and �can-do� customer service with their growing roster of more than 3,000 hotel clients. "On behalf of Hotel ZaZa, we conducted a lengthy search for a leader in technology and service that was willing to respond to our internet marketing and CRM needs,� noted Mark Van Hartesvelt, one of the Principals of Gemstone Resorts International, the management company for Hotel ZaZa. �Unirez offers a proven technology and dedicated client service with senior management attention to our needs." Dwight Hendrickson, president and chief executive officer of Unirez concurred, �We are delighted that Hotel ZaZa entrusted us to spearhead their reservations service. Our proprietary Unirez system will allow Hotel ZaZa to instantaneously update descriptions, rates and availability to all reservation channels, including GDS, voice, the Hotel ZaZa Web site and major Internet travel sites, such as Orbitz and Travelocity. No one else in the industry provides real-time updating of all hotel information, giving Hotel ZaZa a distinct advantage in today�s reactive market.� Hotel ZaZa has already begun using Unirez�s Hotel Factory system to handle its reservations. Hendrickson noted, �Hotel Factory will help Hotel ZaZa reduce the chance of human error by automating the updating of all their onward distribution channels. One input and Unirez�s system updates all the distribution channels globally.� Unirez�s system, Hotel Factory, was the first Internet-based ASP technology in the hotel reservations services marketplace and continues to lead the industry in customizing and automating the reservations process, allowing hotels to increase productivity and functionality.
