Blending Luxury and Innovation at Hotel Alma San Juan
Overview - A Boutique Hotel Rooted in History & Luxury
Hotel Alma San Juan, a luxury hotel in the heart of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, seamlessly blends elegance with modern innovation. Located within the Pisos de Don Juan—the first Hispano-Mediterranean-style building in Old San Juan—the hotel offers a unique experience where Puerto Rico’s vibrant heritage meets contemporary luxury.
The hotel features a luxury rooftop, two distinctive dining concepts, three bars curated by a James Beard Award finalist chef, a full fitness facility, and Café Alma—a sustainable coffee shop offering wholesome bites. To support efficient operations and maintain its high standards of personalized service, Hotel Alma needed a technology partner that could elevate the guest experience as the hotel continued to grow.
Situation - Elevating Service Without Sacrificing Charm
As a newly opened luxury boutique hotel, Hotel Alma San Juan aimed to deliver exceptional guest service across multiple outlets, including the vibrant rooftop bar, immersive dining experiences, and across rooms.
The hotel sought a system to support a seamless guest ordering experience while maintaining a refined and welcoming atmosphere. They needed a POS solution that could enhance mobile ordering, streamline service across varied spaces, and integrate with the StayNTouch PMS for efficient operational flow.
Solution - A Seamless, Modern POS Experience
Hotel Alma San Juan implemented GoTab’s Hotel POS to enhance guest interactions and streamline operations. Initially brought in for just the restaurant outlets, the hotel has since expanded with GoTab across their entire property.
To further elevate the guest experience, Hotel Alma recently rolled out room service QR code ordering, allowing guests to conveniently order from their rooms using mobile ordering with bill-to-room functionality. This feature leverages the StayNTouch PMS integration, ensuring that room service orders placed from GoTab QR codes are seamlessly processed and accurately recorded. Additionally, guests can start a tab at the bar and continue it in their rooms, providing uninterrupted service throughout the property.
“GoTab’s POS perfectly complements our vision of combining luxury with innovation. It enhances our service while preserving the personalized touch that makes Hotel Alma San Juan special.”
— José Lugo, Director of Food and Beverage
