About NexGen Guest

NexGen Guest is a guest journey platform designed for modern hotels. It embodies AI-powered guest messaging, digital compendium, pre-arrival upsells, and on-property service discovery, helps hotels unlock new revenue streams across every stage of the guest journey, without increasing staff workload.

The Revenue Challenge: Missed Upsell Opportunities

Before adopting NexGen Guest, hotel teams faced a common commercial problem:

Guests were aware of premium services like room upgrades, spa treatments, dining experiences, and add-ons but weren’t converting. Front desk and concierge teams lacked the time to actively promote ancillary revenue during peak hours. Earlier upselling was based on manual effort, leading to inconsistent execution and missed revenue. Most upsell tools focused heavily on pre-arrival, in-stay, and post-booking moments left underutilized. Hotels were great at offering services but struggled while converting their guest interests into incremental revenue.
