New York, NY, June 11, 2019
The iconic The Pierre Hotel, flagship of the Taj has selected MCOMS to design an in-room entertainment system with the latest in hospitality technology. Built in the 1920s, the luxurious five-star property is a landmark on Fifth Avenue in New York City that needs no introduction.
MCOMS was asked to replace the existing guestroom technology solution with the HOTstream platform and create a hotel-branded mobile application to pair. The goal was to have a product that has a custom design to reflect the hotel\’s unique profile and an easy-to-navigate menu.
The Pierre now offers in all of its 189 guest rooms and suites, a top-notch solution that allows guests to watch a vast variety of channels and movies as well as providing access to hotel services and facilities. Further increasing The Pierre’s offering, MCOMS implemented HOTstream Cast, allowing guests to stream their content via the Apple TV solution.
Mr Raju Rathod, Director of Information Technology at The Pierre Hotel notes: “The greatest challenge for hotels like The Pierre is to provide an immersive guest experience and increase our guest engagement. We chose to partner with MCOMS because of their in-depth knowledge of hospitality technology and ability to design highly customizable solutions that follow our standards.”
Mr. Yogesh Rawal, SVP Sales North America at MCOMS notes: “The Pierre is a truly legendary property and part of the New York\’s culture for almost a century now. We could not be prouder to have been selected for this project. We worked closely with the hotel to understand their needs and designed a solution that would attend to each guest\’s every need.\”
