First Twelve Hotel Opens in Atlanta
ATLANTA, GA, February 14, 2006. Team members at Twelve Hotels and Residences have welcomed their first guests at the brand's first hotel in the Atlantic Station development here. The hotel is the first of several planned properties for the boutique hotel and urban condominium community brand.
Twelve, a member of Boutique, Preferred Hotel Group's prestigious portfolio of more than 50 boutique hotels from around the world, is a new hotel brand from Novare Group, developers of high-rise residential communities.
The hotel features Twelve's proprietary in-room application, the Guest Hotel Operating System Terminal, which allows guests to request various services online. The GHOST allows guests to customize their service level to their own preference on a continuum from high touch to high tech. Using the flat-screen monitor and keyboard that are standard in every suite, guests can order room service, make specific housekeeping requests (additional bath linens, sewing kit, toiletry items, etc.), contact the concierge, request their car from the valet and order laundry or dry cleaning without picking up the phone. If, however, guests prefer to deal with a human voice and presence, highly trained Twelve Hotel staff members are readily available to answer any call.
