No problem, if you're staying at the St. Regis New York. The luxury hotel recently launched the St. Regis New York "E-Butler," a PDA application that allows guests to interact with the hotel's butlers and concierge via their iPhone or iPad.
This application will offer guests the ability to "chat" directly with The St. Regis E-Butler in real-time via their iPhone or iPad, before and during their stay. The hotel also included the help of New York personalities including André Leon Talley, Jason Wu, Alexis Bittar, Alain Ducasse, Doug Blonsky, President of the Central Park Conservancy, Danny Meyer, David Rockwell, Dale DeGroff, Harold Koda, Michel Musto, Peter Som and Preston Bailey to share their favorite shops, restaurants and city landmarks.
Once guests have made their reservation at The St. Regis New York, they will receive an email confirmation, including a link to download the St. Regis New York E-Butler application directly to their iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Andriod or other smartphone. Guests will also be able to download The St. Regis E-Butler application via iTunes. The St. Regis New York E-Butler will allow guests to speak directly with their butler prior to and during their stay.
The best part? The E-Butler is a complimentary service offered to all guests in residence at The St. Regis New York. The St. Regis does have plans to launch a version of this E-Butler to the general public, which will include a number of features such as the Insider's Guide to New York and the seasonal calendar of events.St. Regis launches 'E-Butler' application for guests originally appeared on Gadling on Tue, 28 Dec 2010 11:00:00 EST.
