Munich, Germany, London, England – March 2010 — Serenata IntraWare GmbH, the leader in CRM and e-marketing solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced that Dorchester Collection has selected Serenata NetHotel CRM and Serenata @mail to improve sales & marketing effectiveness and to gain a holistic picture of their customers across the global enterprise.
Dorchester Collection currently comprises seven leading luxury hotels in Europe and the USA. The portfolio includes the iconic Plaza Athénée in Paris, the world-famous Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles and the equally famous The Dorchester in London. Dorchester Collection has contracted Serenata @mail and NetHotel CRM for all properties.
