Hotel guest SMS and in-app message conversation with staff on HotelGenie

Reach exactly who you need

One message, the right audience

Target a single guest, a group or the whole property from the same platform — no separate tools for one-to-one service and mass notification.

Individual

One-to-one guest messaging

Answer a question, confirm a request or follow up on service with a direct message to a single guest.

Group & section

Groups and areas of the hotel

Message a defined group or only the guests in a specific section of the property, so updates stay relevant to the people who need them.

Everyone

Property-wide broadcast

Send one message to every guest at once — from routine announcements to emergency broadcasts.

How it works

From message to response in moments

Step 1

Pick the audience

Choose an individual guest, a group, a section of the hotel or every guest on property.

Step 2

Send by SMS or in-app

Your message goes out instantly as a text or an in-app notification, depending on how the guest is connected.

Step 3

Guests reply their way

Guests reach staff by phone or by text, whichever they prefer — and requests are routed to staff mobile devices.

Two-way guest communication

Meet guests on the channel they already use

Not every guest wants to pick up the room phone. HotelGenie lets them text instead, while your team handles every conversation from one platform alongside calls and service requests.
