NORTHWIND, the leading provider of hotel management and reservation software solutions is delighted to offer its congratulations to a number of its valued clients, which have landed numerous top awards from top level travel organizations, including TripAdvisor Choice, Conde Nast Traveler, Travel & Leisure Magazine, Forbes Travel Guide and AAA.
NORTHWIND’s clients have built their success on the hugely popular Maestro Enterprise Property Management software system, which offers full integration of 20 independent hotel solutions on just one stable platform. It’s clients rely on the award-winning Maestro software in order to provide their guests with the best, most efficient service possible, while maximizing their efficiency and profitability.

Meanwhile, the White Elephant, another NIR resort, secured a prize in the form of a Travelers Choice award from TripAdvisor.

To simultaneously become Utah’s first Five-Star Spa within a year of expanding and enhancing our spa, is truly exhilarating. NORTHWIND has been a solid technology partner that plays a big part in our success. These accolades illustrate the staff’s unyielding dedication to provide guests uncompromising service of the highest caliber. Without our attentive staff this legacy would never have been realized.”

One of our properties is listed as a Forbes Travel Guide 2011 Four Star-Rated hotel and another earned the prestigious 2011 TripAdvisor Traveler’ Choice Award. NORTHWIND has supported our efforts toward hospitality excellence for more than five years and their property management and ResWave web booking engine are essential to our high standards of guest service and operating efficiency.”
