In a move to elevate guest experiences and streamline operations, Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR) has partnered with Aiello, a leader in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and voice AI technology. The collaboration will see the deployment of Aiello's AI Voice Assistant (AVA) across six MHR properties in Singapore and Thailand, including Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore, Orchard Hotel Singapore, M Social Hotel Singapore, Studio M Hotel Singapore, M Hotel Singapore City Centre, and M Social Hotel Phuket.
Aiello's innovative technology is set to enhance the guest experience with personalized, voice-activated services that cater to individual preferences. As Saurabh Prakash, Interim COO & CCO at MHR, explained, "By embracing Aiello’s technology, we’re adopting a data-driven approach that enables us to understand guest preferences and offer personalized services while also creating new revenue opportunities."
Beyond guest service, the integration of AVA will also optimize hotel operations, from task management to sustainability. The AI assistant will allow MHR to replace outdated systems and provide more efficient ways of managing hotel tasks and operations.
This AI partnership is also aligned with MHR’s commitment to sustainability. By eliminating printed materials and replacing traditional in-room amenities, the hotels are reducing their carbon footprint. According to Ke-Vin Lim, Head of Group Innovation at City Developments Limited (CDL), the adoption of AVA "significantly enhances property value and positions us as more competitive for the future."
Aiello's CEO, Vic Shen, highlighted the sustainability aspect, noting, “By replacing cabling in over 2,300 rooms, we are reducing 6,240 kilograms of CO2 emissions, equivalent to the absorption capacity of 284 trees.”
With 67% of hotels facing staffing shortages, the integration of AVA is particularly valuable for operational efficiency. By syncing the AI system with task management and housekeeping operations, MHR staff can receive real-time updates on room statuses and guest requests, reducing manual processes and improving productivity.
Andy Tan, Senior VP of Global Sales and Partnerships at MHR, remarked, "Integrating AVA with our systems allows us to streamline workflows, making operations more effective and reducing operational challenges."
The first hotel to implement AVA was M Social Hotel Phuket, which has already seen impressive results. Pjey Mayandi, General Manager at the hotel, shared, “AVA has transformed guest services by integrating cloud-based phone systems, task management, in-room dining, and smart room controls, significantly improving operational efficiency.”
The system has replaced traditional in-room phones, reducing call volumes and contributing to smoother operations, providing guests with a seamless experience.
Aiello’s long-term vision includes expanding its AI solutions across the hospitality sector in Southeast Asia, Japan, and beyond, through its platform Aiello-One. With Go Nimbus as a strategic partner, Aiello is set to scale its AI-driven solutions and provide even more value to hospitality providers in the region.
