Ensemble rolls out Hotel Group Desk for multi-room hotel bookings

Ensemble has launched its Hotel Group Desk, a service designed to support members with hotel group bookings of nine or more rooms. 

The desk was created in response to member demand for additional support when managing multi-room and multi-property hotel bookings.

Ensemble acts as an intermediary on behalf of its members, handling sourcing, negotiations, and administrative coordination with preferred hotel partners. 

Led by a newly appointed Hotel Specialist, the desk manages operational details including availability requests, contracting, deposits, and attrition terms.

Requests submitted through the Hotel Group Desk will be fulfilled within 48 hours for domestic bookings and 72 business hours for international bookings, with advisors receiving three to five hotel options.

"Group hotel sourcing can be one of the most time-intensive parts of an advisor's workflow," said Daniel Finkel, SVP, partner relations, Ensemble. 

"Our Hotel Group Desk removes the need for members to chase multiple hotels, manage initial negotiations, and sift through availability and terms. Once a preferred option is selected, advisors are connected directly to the hotel to finalize contracting and payments, allowing them more time to focus on clients and revenue generating work."

The Hotel Group Desk is available for Ensemble's preferred hotel partners, which includes a global portfolio of more than 650 luxury hotels and over 35,000 chain properties secured through brand agreements. 

For hotel partners, the desk provides a streamlined channel that drives incremental group business while reinforcing Ensemble's preferred relationships.
