Where IHG Concerto really starts for a guest is in the booking and checkin process. The system allows you to easily book an IHG hotel on either points or cash, and when you arrive support mobile check-in as well as digital keys. This technology is now live at over 3,000 IHG Hotels and Resorts properties in the US and Canada, and will roll out to the rest of the world by end of 2021.
Once you are in your room though that’s where IHG really offers additional services via technology. Some examples include:
All of the above will make your stay much easier and give you as a guest better interaction with your hotel. You can try out these new features at IHG properties in any of the best properties in San Francisco, New York, or any other city in the world.
Technological innovation is nothing new for IHG, as the company has a history of industry firsts. The company launched the first computerized hotel reservation system in the world more than 50 years ago. The current management team has shown no signs of slowing down by continuing to invest in new areas to increase guest experience.
