Alexa Becomes Rosen Hotels & Resorts’ Newest Meeting Planning Tool

Mr. Rosen Holding The Ask Rosen/Alexa DeviceRosen Hotels & Resorts is harnessing the power of Alexa to take it to a new level – another example of the Rosen Difference. The Ask Rosen skill for Amazon Alexa is now live! Meeting planners can enable the Ask Rosen skill on their Amazon Echo device and then simply say, “Alexa, Ask Rosen…” to access all the information they need about Rosen’s three award-winning Orlando convention hotels – Rosen Plaza, Rosen Centre and Rosen Shingle Creek.

Programmed with hundreds of answers, Ask Rosen gives instantaneous access to the details, facts and stats that set Rosen properties above the rest. Planners who have received an Echo device are “echo”-ing Rosen’s excitement over the new technology. Early feedback shows that being able to get answers right away is key.

Meg Pisani, Sr. Director Supplier Relations, Maritz, calls the sales tool “a stroke of genius. I love the Ask Rosen Alexa skill and branded Echo device, and look forward to having Ask Rosen answer all my meeting questions!”

While Rosen provides multiple resources for planners to get information, no option is faster or more convenient than being able to Ask Rosen in the moment, like while in a planning meeting. This technology helps planners better meet tight deadlines and streamline the planning process, so meeting professionals can instead focus on making their meetings memorable.

Now, the only thing planners need for a flawless event are three simple words: “Alexa, Ask Rosen…”

“The company works as a cohesive team. It’s more than a well-oiled machine; they function as one body,” said Jack Fiechter, meeting planner with Blue Star, Inc., who recently held his company’s annual conference at Rosen Shingle Creek. “I can talk to any team member here and know that everything will be taken care of. This is the way all hotels should operate. It makes a meeting planner’s job so easy and allows me to thoroughly enjoy what I do. I don’t have any of the angst I’ve had when working with other hotels.”

Every improvement is tailored to create the ultimate experience for our guests and offer solutions to their unique needs,” said Rosen.

Heidi Pascale, Director, Corporate Events, ASSA ABLOY, hosted her company’s annual convention at Rosen Centre. “The Rosen Centre is the ONLY venue we will come back to time and time again,” said Pascale. “It goes without saying that the proximity to the airport and convention center is a huge benefit, but it goes way beyond that for us. The hotel itself is equipped with just the right amenities and dining outlets, has more than ample meeting space, is sustainably conscious, and let’s not forget the AWESOME poolside bar and 24-hour deli!”

Rosen Hotel’s three convention properties—Rosen Plaza, Rosen Centre and Rosen Shingle Creek—provide more than 700,000 square feet of impressive meeting and event space and 3,635 guestrooms and suites to accommodate from dozens to thousands of attendees.
