CASE STUDIES • Hard Rock Hotels
How this Hard Rock Hotel enhanced the guest experience with a full stack, efficient payment solutions
It all began with a guitar donated by rock legend Eric Clapton to the original Hard Rock Cafe in London. From there, the Hard Rock brand has become a global icon. Now, Hard Rock Hotels span the globe, defined by an uncompromising dedication to hospitality. Hard Rock Hotel Madrid is found in the Golden Triangle of Arts in the city centre. And like many in the Hard Rock Hotel chain, the hotel benefits from Planet’s full-stack payment solutions.
Challenge
All over the world, Hard Rock Hotels represent much more than just a place to stay – their mission is to make every guest feel like a star. Hard Rock Hotel Madrid wanted to offer the latest payments technology – from the front desk, restaurants and bars to the Hard Rock shop in the hotel. Creating smooth payment experiences is a key part of delivering a premium experience.
A high proportion of hotel guests also come from outside of the EU. So being able to offer payment in their own currency, as well as tax-free shopping opportunities in the Hard Rock shop was key.
Solution
Hard Rock Hotel Madrid, among many other Hard Rock hotels around the world, benefits from Planet’s payment technologies. This includes contactless payments, mobile payments and Tax Free shopping. These solutions enable the chain to give their guests from around the world a seamless experience from check-in to check-out.
