Grand Copthorne Waterfront Invests in the Future with Aiello's AI-Powered Smart Room System for Hospitality

TAIPEI, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Aiello is pleased to announce a collaboration with Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, introducing the smart hotel AI system, Aiello Voice Assistant (AVA) to take guest experiences at this property to next level. This partnership marks a significant step in integrating advanced AI technology into the hotel's ecosystem, setting a new standard for smart, future-forward hospitality where the entire guest environment can be controlled through AI Assistants.

Nestled along the picturesque Singapore River, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel is renowned for luxurious accommodations and exceptional service, combined with a strong commitment to sustainability. The hotel has embraced smart hospitality by replacing all guest room telephones with AVA, transforming each room into a connected, smart environment designed for the future. Guests can utilize AVA for hands-free calls, communication with hotel staff, or to voice their questions and requests, ensuring prompt service. For instance, guests can request room service directly through AVA, streamlining operations, and enhancing efficiency.

Meanwhile, Aiello also facilitates integration with other systems, including the Property Management System (PMS) and the newly defined Hospitality Task Management System (TMS). This system ensures that when guests make a request to AVA, tasks are automatically assigned to the designated employees and departments, significantly reducing communication costs and optimizing efficiency across the hotel's front office, guest rooms, and backend operations. The smart rooms at Grand Copthorne Waterfront allow guests to use voice commands to control various features, including the TV, lights, and air conditioning, or select smart room modes like "Good Morning" and "Good Night" for convenience and comfort.

"We are excited to introduce AVA at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel as part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing guest experiences through innovation," said Mr. Andrew Tan, General Manager of Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel. "With AVA's integrated IoT capabilities, guests can experience a new level of convenience and personalized service, reflecting our dedication to delivering exceptional hospitality."

Aiello's CEO and Co-founder, Mr Vic Shen, emphasized the transformative impact of AI integration: "Through our partnership with Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Aiello is proud to lead the charge in redefining hospitality with advanced AI technology. By replacing traditional phones with AVA and integrating IoT-connected smart rooms with powerful support from our local partner, Go Nimbus, we aim to set a bold new standard for intuitive guest interactions."

This innovative guest interface not only enhances operational efficiency but also elevates the overall guest experience, marking a significant leap forward in hospitality technology.
