01
Background

A central London hotel under constant front-desk load.

Located in the heart of London, Radisson Blu Euston Square is a large, centrally positioned hotel with strong connectivity to the rest of the city, serving both business and leisure guests.

High volume, mixed-purpose travellers, late check-ins, and a constant stream of operational requests — the kind of environment where every minute saved at the front desk compounds.

02
The challenge

Less Repetition, Better Guest Experience

Radisson Blu Euston Square wanted to improve guest communication during stay without increasing staff workload. The goal: handle repetitive requests more efficiently while maintaining the service quality expected of the brand.

80%+ of guest communication handled automatically, with staff involved only when needed.
03
The Solution

A WhatsApp layer wired into daily operations.

Viqal was implemented as a WhatsApp-based guest communication layer, integrated into the hotel’s daily operations and connected to Oracle Opera. Guests message the hotel directly for questions and requests; Viqal automates a large share of interactions and routes complex cases to staff.

04
In production

Guests used the channel for real, operational needs.

Guests didn’t limit themselves to simple FAQs. They used the channel for the kinds of asks that normally trigger a phone call or a queue at the desk.

Surfaced earlier, triaged faster, and resolved before they hit a review.

Importantly, guests stayed in the conversation and followed up — indicating real trust in the channel.

05
The results

Where the time and attention went instead.

A more consistent guest experience, with less friction behind the scenes.

The team gets visibility into issues earlier, the guest gets answers faster, and the front desk recovers the focus it loses to repeat questions. Viqal sits in the background as the operational layer that quietly makes this possible.

  • 80%+ of guest inquiries handled automatically by Viqal.
  • Staff involved only when human judgment or intervention was required.
  • Clear handover flows ensured smooth escalation between AI and team.
  • Hotel teams actively used the inbox during live operations — strong adoption from day one.
