As we welcome a new year, the hospitality industry stands at a turning point. Guest expectations are higher than ever, and the heartbeat of every hotel, the front desk team, needs the right tools to deliver. In 2026, investing in AI and technology isn’t just about keeping up; it’s about empowering your people to create memorable guest experiences and drive business success.
