Lonrho Hotels and Brilliant Hotelsoftware sign partnership agreement
Lonrho Hotels (part of Lonrho Plc (LSE) and Hotel Concepts - Brilliant have recently signed an agreement for installing the full suite of Brilliant PMPro products at all hotels of Lonrho. The first hotel to be installed is the Leopard Rock Hotel & Golf Course, Zimbabwe, which will be closely followed by Hotel Cardoso in Mozambique.
All hotels will be using Brilliant PMPro connected to RezExchange, which in its turn is connected with a 2-way interface to UTELL Hotels & Resorts for distribution and GDS connectivity. “This combination of products will give Lonrho Hotels full control over its distribution business straight from the PMS without the need of a third party channel manager”, explains Patrick van der Wardt, CMO of Hotel Concepts – Brilliant.
“We chose Brilliant for their flexibility, ease of use and industry leading connectivity”, says Ewan Cameron, CEO of Lonrho Hotels. “We look forward to offering Lonrho Hotels’ guests seamless reservations throughout the estate once the whole product range is installed”.
