Comments
There is no formal reception desk at check-in. Instead the process
has been simplified as guests arrive to a warm greeting in the
lobby lounge with a complimentary glass of juice, wine or coffee.
The Check-in itself happens either by the coffee bar or on the
sofas. The staff operate with portable tablet PC's. The result. a
swift and seem less check-in process. This innovative check-in is
unique to the Andaz brand.
