Hilton's Conrad Hotels & Resorts Offers Innovative In-Room Beverage Service Powered by Plum in their Exclusive Beachfront Fort Lauderdale Location
Luxurious Conrad Hotel on North Beach in Florida now featuring Plum's wine-by-the glass technology in their 290-suite property
Plum today announced that Hilton's magnificent Conrad Hotel in Fort Lauderdale has implemented their wine by the glass technology. Now guests staying in their suite room types can enjoy a perfectly chilled glass of wine in the comfort of their room, while peering out at the ocean, at the tap of a button.
"We couldn't be more thrilled to offer our guests in-room wine-on-demand," says Nadim Barrage, Director of Operations at Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach. "Not only are our guests delighted by the convenience and personalization Plum provides, but since deploying Plum in select premium suites, our in-room beverage revenue has increased. Guests come to us because of our impeccable service and devotion to culinary elegance. Plum fits in perfectly with the sophisticated experience we aim to present to every guest."
It's no secret that where F & B is concerned, not much has changed for hotels. If a guest wants a glass of wine in their room, they call room service and wait. Plum has revolutionized all that. Plum is an in-room, personalized device that dispenses a perfectly chilled glass of wine on-demand. It houses two bottles of wine, that can be kept preserved for up to 90 days using argon gas. F&B managers can choose their signature or seasonal wines, or have guests customize their wine to their liking. Once a glass is poured, Plum automatically bills the guest and alerts hotel staff when a bottle needs to be replaced.
"As Florida's Gold Coast becomes increasingly popular, combining smart luxury and sophistication with beach and yacht culture is a rapidly growing trend," explains David Koretz, CEO of Plum. "Our partnership with the ultra-elegant Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach embodies this perfectly. Plum is designed with style, accessibility, and customization in mind. For hotels, beverage sales are boosted, a perfect glass of wine is poured, a memorable experience is created, and as a result, guest loyalty gets another nod."
With its doors opening in October of 2017, instantly, the Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach was described as the beacon of luxury. The resort accommodates up to 500 guests, with 10,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, 10,000 square feet of outdoor space, and exquisite panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterways from Florida's North Beach. Each suite comprises an opulent private outdoor terrace, a kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf gourmet appliances, and Italian marble deep-soaking tub and shower.
In addition to Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach, Plum has partnerships with leading independent hotels and chains, like the Four Seasons, St. Regis, Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, Sheraton, Westin, Auberge, Gemstone Collection, Woodside and Rosewood flags.
