Althoff Hotels & Residences Launch myfidelio.net Powered On-Line Booking Service

"ADS (Alternate Distribution Systems) are a major challenge to the global hotel industry and we were looking for a solution that can be totally customized to our focus on customers and partners," said Rainer Stoll, Vice President Sales & Marketing of Althoff Hotels & Residences. "myfidelio.net

provides us with the appropriate tool to do exactly that in a highly cost effective manner. myfidelio.net not only provides a great software solution but also a first-class customer service which is imperative for our operations."

The majority of the ADS-bookings are channeled via the hotel's own web-site giving priority to the best available rate. This practice has become standard in the industry and is widely used by all leading hotels. myfidelio.net provides the perfect match combining a product at an attractive price which satisfies the market trends.

Heinz-Peter Stroemsdoerfer, Managing Director of Micros-Fidelio Germany added: "Althoff Hotels & Residences have been a loyal Micros-Fidelio customer and we are very pleased and honored that myfidelio.net was selected as their product distribution tool. Customers and partners such as companies or travel agents can access their confidential rates via the Althoff web site and in the near future one of their properties, The Grand Hotel Schloss Bensberg, will become the launch customer for myfidelio's new on-line, real time interface to the hotel's property management system providing 100% last minute inventory and rate availability."
