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.
Winners of Forbes Travel Guide Awards for 2011 include a number of Maestro users, such as the Stein Eriksen Lodge, which earned a five-star property award, and The Wauwinet of the Nantucket Islands Resorts group, which secured a four-star award. Meanwhile, the White Elephant, another NIR resort, secured a prize in the form of a Travelers Choice award from TripAdvisor.
Russ Olsen, CEO of the Stein Eriksen Lodge was delighted to receive not one, but two separate awards from Forbes Travel Guide, and was quick to point out the vital contribution of Maestro to the hotel and resort’s success:
“It is a significant honor to continually be Utah’s only Forbes Five-Star hotel. 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.”
Khaled Hashem, MD for Nantucket Island Resorts, was just a delighted at his resort’s recognition and equally effusive in his praise for the part Maestro software played in their success:
“This year, Nantucket Island Resorts was honored across the travel industry for the excellence of our hotels and the marina. Two of our properties are on Travel & Leisure’s World’s Best Hotels list for 2011, and three of our properties were ranked among the best in the country by Condé Nast Traveler. 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.”
