As a hotelier, I know guest experience is key when it comes to integrating technology.
“As a hotelier, I know guest experience is key when it comes to integrating technology,” said Hermann Elger, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide. “At Forbes Travel Guide, we assess elements of hotel technology for efficiency and ease of use, so we were pleased to see how Selfbook's digital wallet seamlessly integrates with existing booking platforms already being used in some of our Four- and Five-Star hotels.”
By offering hotels the opportunity to usher their booking and payment processes into the future, Selfbook is a natural fit among properties that set the standard for the hospitality industry.
Several Forbes Travel Guide properties including Eden Rock – St Barths, Eden Roc Cap Cana, and De L’Europe Amsterdam have already elected to implement Selfbook to offer their guests a smoother booking process.
We look forward to continuing to bring Selfbook’s digital wallet capabilities to more Forbes Travel Guide Star Rated hotels.
