As the hotel welcomes guests again, the website reveal indicates the positive future for the luxury five-star hospitality business, which is part of the Select Property Group based in Alderley Edge, Cheshire.
Developed by its digital agency partner Absurd, CitySuites’ new site features innovative technology and digital-first services. It has a bespoke contactless check-in process that eradicates the need for guests to go through the typical registration process on arrival, and enables them to just verify their identity on entry to the aparthotel based on the information already provided. There is also a new portal for guests to view their reservations, make changes ahead of their stay and that simplifies repeat booking.
As well as exploring the different types of accommodation offered across the two hotels, visitors can also discover more about Citysuites’ other facilities including the Embankment Kitchen restaurant, gym and pool.
Tara Homayounbod, Marketing Director “As well as evolving the site to include our new hotel, which will open this summer, we have added new features to further enhance the visitor experience. Users can explore our rooms and facilities through virtual tours, as well as learn more about our locations.
“Many service requirements for CitySuites differ from the more typical hotel needs, due to the specialist accommodation offered and lengths of stays, which we have built into the new user journey, booking process and site features. Absurd has done a fantastic job with the design, brand positioning and the functionality of the site. We’re just so glad to be reopening again and to build on our future plans.”
Oliver Bailey, co-founder of Absurd, adds: “The new design and features are baked in user insight and testing, and we’ve created a framework that will support CitySuites’ growth as they expand both in the UK and internationally. We’ve focused on the navigation and how ultimately users will be able to explore all aparthotels with ease.
“As a result of a platform upgrade and a headless CMS, the new site also benefits from a much faster load time and improved experience. By implementing a component based set up, content admins can create new pages with ease. This means Citysuites can operate with agility and be more reactive around campaigns and deals, and the platform facilitates ongoing communication with guests with more personalised marketing.”
CitySuites is located in Manchester City Centre and combines the comforts of home with the luxury touches of a hotel, providing an exceptional living experience that surpasses standard serviced apartment accommodation.
