Al Rabban Hospitality hopes to drive Qatar’s smart hospitality sector, thanks to a partnership announced yesterday with leading ICT provider Ooredoo, it was announced in a statement.
“Qatar’s hospitality sector is posting strong growth, with international visitors expecting to have the state-of-the-art experience that makes them feel at home. Ooredoo technology solutions are enabling Al Rabban Hospitality to launch the next wave of smart hospitality services such as virtual check-ins, mobile apps, and personalised in-room settings for each guest,” said Fhirnaz Ahamed, Group IT manager, Al Rabban Hospitality.
Supporting Qatar’s tourism growth, Al Rabban Hospitality, which operates Frasier Suites, has recently completed the installation of 824 high-definition smart TV systems.
