Challenges
:
  • Bilingual User Experience: LaQuinta Hotels needed to cater to both English and Spanish-speaking guests, necessitating a multilingual website.
  • Seamless Mobile Experience: The brand sought to offer an integrated web and mobile experience without building separate platforms.
  • Property Promotion: There was a need to showcase individual properties effectively, warranting the creation of numerous microsites.
  • Personalized Guest Interaction: LaQuinta wanted to tailor its online communication based on customer segmentation for enhanced guest experience.
Solutions
:
  • Multilingual Website with Angular and AEM: Using Angular 1.1 for front-end development and AEM 5.6.2 for content management, the website was developed to support both English and Spanish.
  • AEM Mobile & Phonegap for App Experience: The website was wrapped using AEM Mobile's capability in a Phonegap wrapper. This approach efficiently transformed the website into a mobile app, ensuring content consistency across platforms.
  • Integration with Nitevision: The website was integrated with Nitevision, a hotel reservation management system. This enabled real-time availability checks and seamless reservation experiences.
  • Personalization with Adobe Target: Customer segmentation, as defined in Adobe Target, was used to deliver personalized messages to different guests, elevating the user experience.
  • Automated Microsite Rollout: A unique feature was developed to automatically rollout microsites for major properties. By bulk ingesting content, images, and other relevant data, over 100 microsites were launched, each tailored to individual properties.
  • Revamped Web Services Integration: The project involved integration with LaQuinta's revamped web services, ensuring guests experienced a seamless booking process across various channels.
