Hotel phone system

Where your teams feel right at home

Hotels shouldn't have to rely on choppy communications solutions and a bunch of disparate tools. With Dialpad’s unified communications solution, you can work from one workspace, track everything with call analytics, and offer an amazing customer experience for your guests.

Hotel phone system, or unified communications platform?

A hotel phone system has a number of unique functions. It has to connect to your hotel property management system (PMS), be able to connect employees who are away from the front desk, block incoming calls, and more.

A traditional analog hotel phone system can be cumbersome—for example, it needs landlines, phone lines, space to store the system hardware, and space is a precious commodity when you're running a hotel. Not to mention needing onsite maintenance, IT support, and robust security, all of which is paid for and managed by you. And after all that work, you can only communicate through phone calls—no messaging or video calls.

A better option for modern hotel services? A unified communications platform that lets you communicate internally and with guests through different channels, like live chat, video conferencing, and of course, phone calls.

Plus, with a unified communications platform, you only need to worry about connecting to the internet to access it. You can offer your hotel staff the mobility they need to do their job while still being able to help guests wherever they happen to be. Think of a hospitality business phone system, with superpowers.

Easy setup

You can be up and running in minutes with Dialpad. Not only that, you can manage users, assign phone numbers, and control settings for different offices (or hotels), with just a few clicks. Need to spin up a new location, or remove users after high season is over? Easy. You can adjust all of that, again, from your online dashboard.

Built-in AI

What's truly unique about Dialpad is its artificial intelligence, Dialpad Ai. Not only can it transcribe calls (in real time), it can also do live sentiment analysis for calls so managers can jump in before conversations go south and even pop up Real-Time Assist (RTA) cards on agents' screens. You can customize these RTA cards with helpful talking points and set them to trigger on agents' screens automatically when certain keywords (like "summer season prices") come up on calls!

Custom call routing

Want to set up a "Press 1 for new reservations, 2 for existing reservations..." menu? You can do that in minutes (without IT help) in Dialpad, and you can even prioritize VIP guests' calls to be answered first, set up skills-based routing to send calls to the right staff members, and more. Best of all, guests don't have to wait on hold at all—with in-queue callback, they can set up a callback option and go about their day.

Flexible call forwarding

Hotels are busy places—if everyone at the front desk is occupied, a flexible call forwarding service like Dialpad's can help you to never miss a call again. Add up to five call forwarding numbers from your Dialpad dashboard to automatically send calls to external telephone numbers, landline numbers, or mobile phone numbers.
