SOUTHLAKE, Texas, March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre
Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR), the leading technology provider to
the global travel industry, today announced a multi-year agreement
with the TWA Hotel, the only on-airport hotel at JFK Airport,
opening on May 15, 2019.
The brand new, first-class hotel in the restored landmark 1962
former TWA terminal designed by Eero Saarinen will pay homage to
the golden age of travel with midcentury modern-inspired
guestrooms, eight restaurants, six bars, high-end retail outlets,
50,000 square feet of event space, a 10,000-square-foot fitness
center, a rooftop pool and an observation deck.
Since the 512-room TWA Hotel began accepting guestroom
reservations in February, the hotel has been utilizing Sabre
Hospitality Solutions' SynXis Platform, including SynXis Central
Reservations (CR), to power its distribution strategy. When the TWA
Hotel welcomes its first guests on May 15,
2019, the TWA Hotel will benefit from the SynXis Platform's
advanced technology as it establishes itself in the marketplace,
while also securing an effective, future-ready channel strategy
that is designed to maximize revenue of both direct and indirect
channels.
"We are pleased to be working with Sabre Hospitality Solutions'
SynXis Platform as our booking platform at the TWA Hotel," said
Tyler Morse, CEO of MCR and MORSE
Development, the developer of the TWA Hotel.
The SynXis Platform is an open-architecture platform that
integrates critical hospitality systems to optimize distribution,
operations, retailing and guest experience. It includes several
components, including SynXis Central Reservations, which provides
distribution of rates and inventory through all online and offline
distribution channels; connectivity to global distribution systems,
online travel agents, website and mobile booking engines; and
seamless integration of critical property, revenue management,
loyalty and content systems, providing holistic views of hotel
guests and revenue.
"We are very excited to have a role in the operations of this
iconic property as it opens," said Clinton
Anderson, president of Sabre Hospitality Solutions. "In
today's fragmented hotel distribution landscape, we strive to
provide our customers with solutions that enable them to get the
most exposure from both direct and indirect channels, while
providing superior experiences for their guests. When the TWA
Flight Center was built in 1962, hoteliers could have only dreamed
of being able to manage distribution and operations with such
technological precision, knowledge and breadth. Today, Sabre is
proud to work with the TWA Hotel as it wholly embraces the future
of hospitality while celebrating the past."
