StayNTouch, an innovator in mobile technology and Property Management Systems (PMS) for hotels, is pleased to announce it has partnered with the Origin Hotel, a new hotel brand focused on local experiences. StayNTouch has deployed its StayNTouch Cloud PMS and StayNTouch Guest Mobility products at the first Origin Hotel in Red Rocks, Colorado with plans for deployment at upcoming hotels in Lexington, Kentucky, Raleigh, North Carolina and Westminster, Colorado.

“Our focus is on expanding the hotel guest experience by sharing the best places to eat, drink and things to do in our communities,” said Martin Hanson of the Schulte Hospitality Group, the operator of Origin Hotel, “We have taken the typical front desk and reconfigured it. We have replaced the front desk staff with a team of “Locals” who will assist our guests not only in hotel services but in creating new experiences in the surrounding local area. The front desk itself has been replaced by a community table allowing our Locals to engage with guests side-by-side without being tied to a terminal.”

“When looking for a PMS for our brand, StayNTouch was the perfect complement to our service model, “ Mr. Hanson continued, “The PMS is easy-to-use, cloud-based and portable. Our Locals will have the PMS running on mobile devices they carry as they engage with guests throughout the property. StayNTouch has given us the flexibility required to evolve as we grow the Origin brand.”

StayNTouch offers hotels the opportunity to integrate multiple cloud-solutions on one platform:

• StayNTouch Cloud PMS: Next generation Hotel PMS, fully cloud, fits on every device, optimizes hotel operations from front desk, to groups, to housekeeping to revenue management. Simple monthly pricing that includes training, integrations and configuration.
• StayNTouch Guest Mobility: Enables guest pre-engagement and guest services via mobile web.  Guest-enabled mobile check-in & out via smart phone or desktop.  Private labeled, PMS-integrated mobile check-in &/or checkout. Bill review, preference collection, upsell opportunities, and remote key fulfillment. Promote and monetize late checkouts.

“We are excited to be working with the Origin team as they launch the brand,” said Jos Schaap, CEO-Founder of StayNTouch, “Their ideas about active and mobile guest engagement sync perfectly with strengths of our mobile PMS. We are looking forward to being their technology partner with them as they grow their portfolio.”

About Origin Hotels

The boutique hotel brand promotes an experience-driven lifestyle with a passion for local culture. Each property is locally conceived and has an individual spirit, focused on connections between staff and guests. In addition to the special attributes of the hotel, guests at Origin Red Rocks are treated to a one of a kind amenity, its proximity to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The hotel is a short distance from the venue and provides guest shuttle service to the park/amphitheatre for morning workouts, exploring or concerts. The hotel also features Nomad Taqueria and Beer Garden, an eclectic food and drink experience for both locals and concert goers.

The Origin hotel brand is being developed by The Thrash Group, a real estate development company based in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The property will be managed by the Boutique + Lifestyle division of Louisville based Schulte Hospitality Group, a division of Schulte Companies.

Upon completion, the 124-room hotel will include a full restaurant and bar, as well as event space. The interior décor of the hotel will celebrate the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre through various design elements that naturally complement the aesthetic of the region.

Reservations are available for dates starting Summer 2018 at www.originhotel.com.
