AI front desk for independent luxury hotels

Turn more guest inquiries into direct bookings.

Velitea is an AI front desk that answers every guest in seconds, across WhatsApp, email, and web. It turns more of the inquiries you already get into direct bookings, and hands off to your team the moment a guest needs a person. Fully managed, in your hotel's own voice.

Built for independent luxury and boutique hotels in Dubai. The audit is free, with nothing to install.

How you start

One agent first. Expand once it's proven.

Your audit points to the conversation costing you the most bookings or staff time, usually reservations. We build and run that one first, then add the others as each earns its place. Every agent shares the same approved knowledge of your hotel and hands off cleanly to your team.

  • Qualifies dates, party size, occasion, and budget
  • Shares booking links and follows up on undecided inquiries
  • Hands VIP, group, and complex requests to your team

The cost of a slow reply

Guests ask everywhere. The fastest clear answer wins the booking.

When a guest is comparing five hotels at once, the booking goes to whoever answers first, accurately and in the right tone. Manual replies can't keep that pace after hours or at peak check-in.

Slow replies leak to OTAs

Guests book with whoever answers first. After hours and at peak times, that's rarely your front desk, so the booking and the commission go to an OTA.

Inquiries scattered across channels

WhatsApp, email, OTAs, Instagram, web forms. Your team retypes the same answers all day, and some inquiries quietly fall through.

“What time is check-in?” a hundred times a day pulls staff away from the guests standing right in front of them.

How it works

From a free audit to a measured pilot

Nothing to rip out, and nothing for your team to learn. We design, build, and run one agent for your hotel, then prove it on your own inquiries first.

01

Start with a free booking audit

We test your website, email, and WhatsApp like a real guest. Then we show you where inquiries, bookings, and response time leak.

02

We build your hotel's knowledge

We train one agent on your rooms, rates, policies, and tone, using content you already have. Every answer stays inside limits you approve.

03

Go live with guardrails

You decide what the agent handles alone and when it hands off to your team, with full guest context. It never invents availability or rates.

04

Measure over a 30-day pilot

We run the agent and review it with you every day. You see response time, qualified inquiries, and booking opportunities, then expand what works.
