Greystone Hotels Marketing Team Featured on Panel Discussion:

HOW BOUTIQUE HOTELS ARE USING DATA TO DRIVE MORE REVENUE

This month Greystone Hotels VP of Digital Marketing and PR, Dave Rubin, participated in an active audience Q&A panel discussion hosted by Sojern, a leading travel data driven marketing engine. This was a great event where boutique hoteliers and industry experts were able to get together to discuss boutique hotels adopting new technologies and practices.

Both Rubin, along with a second guest speaker, Dan Hickman (Revenue Manager at Solange Hotel and Resort), were able to discuss with the audience their own experiences and thoughts on how to engage travelers and overcome industry challenges.

Greystone Hotels was honored to be included in this industry event and hopes to continue to push the envelope when it comes to creating exceptional experiences for guests up and down the west coast. For more details of what was discussed and conversation highlights, click here.

Lobby at the Inn in Union Square

Greystone Hotels is excited to share that one of their San Francisco properties, the Inn at Union Square, was featured in an article posted by Cheapflights.com earlier this month of October.

The Inn at Union Square is located in the heart of San Francisco. Guests can readily enjoy the sights and attractions of San Francisco in minutes. After a full day of exploring, guests can relax with the daily complimentary wine and cheese reception. But what also sets them a part from the crowd is Room Service! With a quick call to the front desk lobby, Morton's Steakhouse can be delivered to the room. As Cheapflights.com mentions, "it is the ultimate San Francisco treat!"
