Kipsu was developed hand-in-hand with the world's leading service oriented brands. See why it works.
Ho ho ho! It’s the holiday season - one of the busiest times of the year for hotels. Marriott properties know that this is a special time of the year for celebrating with family and friends, and that guests are going to want to feel as much at home as possible.
2026 is shaping up to demand hoteliers to refocus their operations in the new year. From a growing divide between the luxury and economy segments, to unprecedented decreases in international tourism to the United States, the state of the hospitality industry requires new and creative ways to meet the moment for travelers.
With the joy of the holidays comes a flurry of air travel and family trips across the country. In a competitive industry like hospitality, this is a great opportunity for the Marriott brand to step up their guest service and stand out from the rest. Good thing we made you a list of ways that hotel guest messaging can help with this busy season and spread some holiday cheer along the way!

From the dawn of time, mankind has speculated what the future will bring. For some time now, no vision of the future has been sans robots. We’ve all imagined a time in the future when cute anthropomorphic robots like R2D2 and BB8 would be a regular part of life or each family would have their own C3PO tending to the chores and piping up with useless bits of information. As great as this sounds, the current reality of AI and bot-driven activities is far less idyllic and often times full of funny (or even not-so-funny) mishaps. Check out the ten best bot blunders below to see why human-to-human service is still best.

The Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center, located on the beautiful campus of Michigan State University, not only provides a top-notch service to guests, but also serves as a training laboratory for Hotel Management students (many of whom are students at MSU school of Hospitality Business). The Kellogg Hotel’s rooms are filled with a wide array of guests from MSU parents to visiting lecturers, and business travels from Fortune 500 companies, while the Conferences Center hosts over 400,000 visitors each year for various events including weddings, seminars, meetings and conferences. Although this large variety of guests and a mostly student-driven staff poses its challenges, through actively listening to each request and question through text and digital messaging, the Kellogg Hotel and & Conference Center delivers an outstanding experience for their guests.

When booking a hotel room, there are certain basic amenities most people expect will be available to them. 24-hour access to a gym or pool is not a surprise in most full-service hotels and is even starting to become standard at focused-service properties around the world. More recently, however, many hotels seem to be expanding beyond the standard gym and pool amenities.
