The Colony has been using iHotelier`s Web reservation services for almost a year. Their decision to start using iHotelier for voice and GDS will allow them to have single image inventory management for all distribution needs.

“We are very pleased with the comprehensive functionality of the iHotelier system,” said Kymberley Smith Jenkins, Resort Manager at The Colony Beach & Tennis Resort. “It is a complete reservations and revenue management solution that enables you to optimize returns from all sales channels. They provide you with reports, marketing tools, and quality customer service to help you every step of the way. It only made sense for us to go with iHotelier for voice and GDS, once our contract with our previous vendor expired.”

According to Drew Rosser, iHotelier`s Director of Sales, “With our OneScreen booking interface on the Web, seamless GDS connectivity, and two way interfaces that integrate hotel PMSs with all the existing sales channels, we strive to provide our clients with the very best in every aspect of hotel representation. Our recent alliance with Virtual-Agent Services, to provide The Colony with voice reservations, was also driven by the same philosophy.”
