manager and the reservations manager Following are the key findings and for more details please

check appendix 1 tools artifacts

The General Manager Interview

1 The innovation focus is selected because it represents the first moments of truth the

customer really meets through his journey

2 The hotel concept is built around the delivery of an Arab-culture driven hospitality

This is the hotelrsquos position and this is what itrsquos trying to fulfill The hotel is not

competing with other local hotels on this level of hospitality as theyrsquore not really into

delivery of hospitality


The hotel aims to position itself as a leading hospitality specialist

management company driven by the desire to provide its customers with

innovative upmarket concepts of service through consistently delivering

superior quality products and exceptional Arabic traditional customer service whilst maximizing financial

return to stakeholders

To celebrate and regenerate the Arabic traditional hospitality service

leading hospitality management group

The Staff Interview

Following are the interview highlights

Major checkout times are

700-800 (People going for

business meetings)

1100-1200 (Family or people

who have no morning

commitments)

Sometimes a customer from a

corporate account will come

to check-in with insufficient

information which would

require communication

between front office account

management and corporate

customer to resolve the

events taking place in Doha

15 minutes in some cases

Much often therersquore

modifications in group

reservations

QATAR airways is a major

account which has special

requirements they would ask

in an hour to prepare 200

rooms for example This

means 200 rooms to be ready

in an hour 200 keys and the

restaurant should be ready for

the same amount of people

They normally check-in in the

same time but they checkout

in separate groups depending

on their flight time

In return the hotel has put a

special desk for QATAR

airways check-ins and

adopted a different process

a fisherman came and sat next to the

guest and started to take some coffee and dates as well

boxes of pearls wear brought in and

people started to negotiate prices

the receptionist came and gave the

guest this nice ancient-looking box

that included booklets

guest was taken in tour and saw lots of shops and markets areas in the hotel

finally they arrived to the room and

receptionist introduced the

guest to the room

guest was told that check-in lounge is open all the time if he wanted to have

some coffee and dates with his

guests

guest was told that during the day theres different gathering hours

where he can come to the lounge and find many guests

open for netwroking

guest was told that if interested a

coffeepot and a dish of dates will be sent

to his room

guest said that its a nice experience and

receptionist told him that he can buy most of these items to take them back

home

upon checkout guest was given a nice box of dates and an arabian

coffee cup with his name engraved on it


Second Concept Weave amp Style

The concept is about enabling the

customer to tailor and design his own

experience The customer is utilizing the

menu of hotel offers to create his own

blend of stay The customer is highly

empowered to design his stay style

according to his stay purpose In addition to the settings the customer chooses for his

service the hotel makes available for the customer a wide range of related

information services and tools

Third Concept MOMENT Share

This concept is about enabling the

guest to leverage the social media

capabilities to share his experience

with the world The hotel would

embed the recording capturing and

publishing capabilities within the

hotel processes The customer just

sets his preferences in the

beginning of the stay and then it goes with no interference he would just comment

and interact with his family and friends based on these interactions The hotel also

provides a framework for sharing between hotel guests in general who can share

knowledge about hotel and local experiences
