With 30 years in hospitality, Alessandra has vast experience across the sector and been instrumental in numerous full tech stack overhauls. As our Head of Hospitality, she delivers consultative support and essential infrastructure for IT and digital transformation.
Artificial Intelligence in Hospitality
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming the bridge between operational excellence and sustainable growth in hospitality. In the next era, AI-enabled resilience will define market leaders. The future-ready hotel will operate with “invisible AI” - intelligent systems running quietly in the background, empowering human teams to focus on what truly matters: exceptional, guest-facing experiences.
Hospitality continues to navigate rising costs, staffing pressures, and increasing guest expectations for frictionless, personalised service. In such an environment, reputation remains a fragile asset. A single misstep - whether a data breach or a negative review - can swiftly impact Net Promoter Scores and long-term asset value. The mandate is clear: operators must deliver today’s excellence while safeguarding tomorrow’s resilience through technology.
AI is more than an efficiency tool; it’s a catalyst for exponential growth. Hotels that have adopted AI across their operations report tangible uplifts - from RevPAR increases of 5–15% and occupancy gains to revenue boosts of up to 17% - all while freeing staff to deliver premium guest experiences.
AI Hotel Tech Stack
The hotel tech stack demonstrates huge benefits from AI in dynamic staffing models that automatically match workforce levels to service demand and predictive pricing engines which optimise rates across rooms and ancillary revenue streams.
At Focus on Hospitality, AI is being harnessed to enhance the essential infrastructure underpinning hotel operations. We are seeing the transformative capabilities of AI which include predictive maintenance detecting hardware issues before they cause disruption, and autonomous security systems identifying and responding to threats in real time.
