WhatsApp concierge takes up two new positions in the North East
Two Tyneside hotels are taking room service digital, the Grey Street Hotel and the New Northumbria Hotel, both owned by Newcastle’s Malhotra Group, have introduced WhatsApp as a concierge service for guests.
Once guests have checked in, they can then WhatsApp message their orders directly to reception throughout their stay.
Group business development manager, Fabian Pritchard, believes the digital concierge service will bring an added level of convenience to guests saying: “WhatsApp is such a familiar means of communication now that this is a logical service to offer.
“It cuts down the potential for any errors in orders, will speed up the ordering process and guests can place their order from wherever they happen to be. So, if they are out for the day, they can use the WhatsApp service to either book a table in the restaurant or have meals and drinks delivered to their room when they return.”

“I have been using Key Reservations for nearly 10years now, their service is second to none. Within my role at Finsbury Food Group, it is a weight off my mind that I have Michelle at the other end of a phone or email who will help me out no end. The service they provide is excellent, the whole team are very friendly and helpful. The knowledge and advice they offer about various hotels and meeting venues is invaluable, they take out all the hassle of looking for accommodation and meeting venues. I don’t know what I would do without them!”
