Receptionist for Hotel Spas: How an AI Receptionist Books Treatments 24/7

Can a hotel or resort spa use an AI receptionist?

Yes. An AI receptionist answers the spa's phone number like a member of your team would: it greets the caller, answers their question and books the treatment while they're still on the line. It works for spas inside hotels, resort spas and spas that also serve day guests and local members.

It isn't a chat widget. Guests who would rather call, including in-house guests ringing from their room and outside guests ringing from home, get an answer instead of a ringing phone or a voicemail.

Why do hotel spa phone calls get missed?

Hotel and resort spa teams are often stretched across several jobs at once. Calls tend to go unanswered when:

• Therapists are in treatment rooms. Nobody can step out of a massage or facial to pick up the phone.
• The spa desk is busy. The same person is checking guests in, showing them to changing rooms and taking payments.
• The spa is closed. Guests plan tomorrow's treatments in the evening, after the spa desk has gone home.
• Calls land at the hotel front desk. Reception staff may not know treatment availability, so they take a message or transfer the call to a spa line nobody can answer.
• Several calls come in at once. One person can only take one call at a time.

What does an AI receptionist handle for hotel and resort spas?

• Treatment bookings. Books, moves and cancels appointments in real time with the therapist the guest asks for, on the booking systems CallPad works with.
• Couples treatments and packages. Answers questions about your packages and prices from your own service menu and handles multi-service bookings.
• Day passes and spa access. Answers questions about what's included, opening times and your policies, using the information you give it.
• Gift vouchers. Sells gift cards and takes payment on the call.
• Opening hours and policies. Answers common questions about hours, age rules, cancellation policies and what to bring, from your own information.
• After-hours calls. Answers every call 24/7, so late-evening and early-morning callers can still book.
• Overflow when the spa desk is busy. Handles several calls at once, so callers don't wait on hold or hang up.
• Missed-call text-backs. Callers who hang up still hear from you by text.

How does an AI receptionist fit with the hotel front desk?

An AI receptionist on the spa's own number takes spa calls off the front desk's plate. Spa questions and bookings are handled on the spa line, and front desk staff can stay with arriving and departing guests.

When a caller needs a person, for example a question about their room or a request the spa can't answer, CallPad transfers the call to a team member. You decide where those calls go.

Can it help international and multilingual guests?

CallPad speaks several languages. Ask our team which languages you need for your spa when you contact us.
