Key Results

  • Established strategic AI task force with luxury partners.
  • Identified high-impact automation opportunities.
  • Created roadmap that preserves the human touch in guest experience.

Context & Challenge

Luxury hospitality brands face a unique challenge: they want to benefit from AI efficiency gains without compromising the personal, high-touch service their guests expect. The task force was created to navigate this balance.

Approach

  • 1

    Mapped guest journey touchpoints and identified automation candidates.

  • 2

    Distinguished between front-of-house and back-of-house opportunities.

  • 3

    Designed experiments that could validate AI value without guest impact.

  • 4

    Created a decision framework for when AI enhances vs. diminishes experience.

Solution

We established a structured task force that evaluates AI opportunities through the lens of guest experience. Each initiative is scored on efficiency gains, implementation complexity, and potential impact on service quality.

Results & Impact

  • Clear prioritisation of AI initiatives across the portfolio.

  • Pilot programmes in back-of-house operations showing efficiency gains.

  • Framework for ongoing AI decision-making across the group.
