Quick answer

Hotels can use AI for marketing and social content, answering common guest questions with an agent, summarising reviews, and handling rotas, reports and admin — freeing staff to focus on guests. Guest and payment data must be protected and PCI-compliant, kept out of public AI tools, with a human on anything affecting guests directly.

Doing it safely

Governance first

Guest and payment data must be PCI-compliant and kept out of public AI tools — and with Manchester hosting the G20, hotels are a cyber target, so get the security right first. Before rolling anything out, tidy permissions, put a simple AI usage policy in place, keep sensitive data out of public tools, and keep a human in the loop — all part of our AI Adoption service.
